The Illuminati

[Kyan]

Have you heard of the Illuminati? I'm talking about the Final Fantasy XIV version.

Master Mutamix is an inducted brother of the Illuminati, a goblin fraternity which has long been the marvel of the scholarly world. The knowledge they possess rivals even that of the Sharlayans.

Master Mutamix belongs to a fraternity of goblin scholars known as the Illuminati, but over time found himself at odds with their secretive ways. Believing that it is through dissemination that science evolves, he betrayed his own people, taking us under his wing to pass on the secrets of materia.

Kokosamu, our catalyst-collecting friend, also shares Mutamix Bubblypots' theory that carbonised matter works so well with materia because they are both made up of living and dead matter.

I would love to know more about the Illuminati, their science, and their goals.

Well, we will be finding out something new about the Illuminati:

Brayflox's Longstop (Hard)

Brayflox's Longstop is overrun with forces of the Illuminati; the furious goblin scholars are bent on recovering a secret recipe centuries in the making and a moment in the filching. Having been pressed into service as Brayflox's boon companion, you have no choice but to disregard the facts of her thievery and defend the Longstop from all those who would seize it from its rightful holder.
