The Utopian League (Utopians)

Aka: Utopians, Ethercrats (sarcastic), Doc Law, The Ideal College

Branches

None. "Utopian Science is not so much concerned with a particular area as it is with the idea that Scientific research should benefit the Sleepers as much as possible, as soon as possible.

Organization

"It’s easy to join the Utopian League: Members take an oath to uphold the Scientific Ethos, the rules that are supposed to govern all Etherite research and
conduct. Granted, adherence is spotty and some Scientists are notoriously guarded about their research, but a true Utopian sets an example that he hopes members
of the Tradition, Sleepers and even Technocrats will follow.

Breaking the Ethosis grounds for explusion.
