The Londinium Bureau was a subterranean Hidden Ones safe-house, archive, and base of operations utilized by the Liberalis Circulus branch of the organization from the 1st-Century until 432, when it was abandoned. The building was later discovered beneath the ruins of a Roman shrine in London by Eivor Varinsdottir in 873.[1]
Location
Built beneath a Roman shrine just outside of the original city limits in London, the Bureau was exceedingly well hidden. Originally, it could only be accessed via a fortified door, though Eivor was able to enter the bureau through a wall it shared with a natural cave system.[1]
History
Roman Era
The Bureau was founded in the 1st-Century and served as The Hidden Ones’ primary base of operations in London, at the time called Londinium. It was in the Londinium Bureau that the ill fated assassination attempt on Hadrian, the Emperor of Rome, was planned. Around 432, Magester Vitus formally closed the safe-house, encouraging surviving Assassins to make their way towards the Hidden Ones Bureau in Cologne. Rather than cart them half way across Europe, thousands of archived documents were left in the Bureau.[1]
Medieval Era
In 873, Eivor, tasked with uncovering the abandoned bureaus of England by Hytham, discovered the Londinium Bureau. Eivor was able to enter the Bureau via a natural (partially submerged) cave system, and recovered a piece of The Magas Codex.[1]
