"The Virgins", or "Alderman Technical Solutions".
Private magical military contractor organization based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. While it is not clear if they ever held any official government position, the VGC have a history of working for the US government which goes back to at least the War of 1812 where they fought against the British and Tecumseh. They carry a deep animosity for the Folly due to that organization sharing their Newtonian magical methods with Tecumseh's people which caused the VGC to suffer severe casualties. This animosity was most evident during the Second World War when they withheld information from the Folly which led to the majority of Folly membership dying. |
