In the immediate aftermath of the chaotic Reshuffle Kerfuffle, the Ministry of Weights, Measures, and Moral Rectitude established several methods to promote and maintain moral codes within the disintegrating society. The Archetypes were a group of seven official designates meant to lead by example, each of the seven offices symbolizing a different societal theme and its associated ideal behaviors. Ironically, due to the benefits of a life-time appointment with no possibility of revocation and no true responsibilities, the Archetypes became notorious for gluttony and severe debauchery.
