The Temple of Ceres bureau was a bureau of the Roman branch of the Hidden Ones, located within the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.
Publicly, the bureau was a place of worship for Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility. It was part of a temple complex dedicated to multiple gods such as Nodens in what is now Lydney Park. The bureau was later discovered and explored by the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan in the late 9th century.
History
The bureau was established at some point prior to late 4th century, when a contract was issued for the public assassination of the Christian priests Vitus, Agapitus, and Secunda in order to send a message to Emperor Theodosius I, who had been supporting the campaign of persecution against the pagans living within the Empire. The contract was completed by Acolytus Teague, though the Magister accompanying him died from the wounds. Around 423, Magister Vitus ordered the evacuation of the Hidden Ones from Britannia, directing them to the Cologne bureau in Germania to join forces with the local chapter. Maya sent a letter to Sebastos, who was stationed at the Temple of Ceres bureau, deeming the retreat to be premature and cowardly.[1]
In the late 9th century, Eivor Varinsdottir, tasked with uncovering the abandoned bureaus of England by Hytham, discovered the Temple of Ceres bureau and recovered a page from The Magas Codex and the leggings of a Hidden One.[1]
