Krewe

“

The cultural system of the asura is both highly organized and extremely flexible. Their society consists of individuals who come together to accomplish greater tasks. This is their krewe system: a project will form, and the leader will call together (or hire) those most useful or capable until the project is finished. An asura's krewe is usually temporary; lasting as long as the project requires, and then breaking up when they have completed whatever task they were performing. These krewes often stay in touch, forming and reforming with individuals they know and respect, and avoiding those whom they don't get along with or find substandard.

— That Old College Try

Krewes are special asuran work groups or corporate task units, usually created for a specific research project or task. Most asuran krewes are formed and dissolved freely, and are governed internally by their members with no oversight from the Arcane Council. The controversial "meta-krewe" Inquest is the exception from this: its members are not allowed to leave the group and their work is owned and controlled by the Inquest's leadership.[1][2] Because krewes are an integral part of everyday asuran life, the asura easily fit into the guild system, using guilds much like any other krewe formed for a specific task.[3]

Organization[edit]

A typical process for krewe recruitment begins once a project forms. The elected or self-appointed leader of the project will call together, or hire, those most useful or capable until the project is finished. An asura's krewe is usually temporary; lasting as long as the project requires, and then breaking up when they have completed whatever task they were performing. These krewes often stay in touch, forming and reforming with individuals they know and respect, and avoiding those whom they do not get along with or find substandard. Because asura are judged by their reputation and craftiness, they often choose a specialty within their college training. An asura will seek to be well known as the foremost authority on that topic, in the hopes of acquiring a position on cutting-edge krewes, performing greater and more challenging tasks.[1]

However, sometimes the krewe leader may choose their krewe not just due to their skillset but also to suck up to the leader and feed the leader's ego. In some cases the krewe leader can temporarily hand over extended privileges and authority to their second-in-command to oversee a project in their stead while the leader is busy elsewhere.[4] If the previous krewe leader dies, one of their underlings, typically the second-in-command, takes over the project while the krewe continues their research and development. Sometimes it can take many years for an asura to maneuver themself into the krewe leader position.[5]

    Shodd: The Morphologists? Mostly toadies and suck-ups that feed Flax's ego—and he still treats them like dirt. It's a thankless job, but there are some tough customers and a few hard workers in the mix.
