The Venta Belgarum bureau was a base of operations for the Roman Hidden Ones located in Winchester, England. In the late 9th century, the Raven Clan shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir found and explored the bureau's ruins.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
The bureau was established at some point prior to 306 CE, when a contract was issued for the delivery of a message to Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine I to secure protection for Christians, a mission successfully undertaken by Acolytus Beatha. Around 383, following General Magnus Maximus's order to withdraw all Roman troops from the north, Magister Marcellus closed the bureau and redirected the Hidden Ones to the bureaus in Londinium and Camulodunum.[1]
In the late 9th century, Eivor Varinsdottir, tasked by Hytham with uncovering England's abandoned bureaus, discovered the Venta Belgarum bureau and recovered a page from The Magas Codex and the seax Suttungr's Claw.[1]
