Purity Shrine

The Purity Shrine is the militant branch of the Imperial Shrine, tasked with investigating, containing and eradicating threats to the Imperial Truth, as well as protecting Imperial Shrine properties and personnel across the Empire. The Purity Shrine consists of three groups. The Purity Eye is the Purity Shrine's intelligence and surveillance group, and is the third foremost intelligence service in the Empire after the Imperial Security Agency and the Imperial Army's Kempeitai. In addition to this, while they are largely independent, the Shrine Retainers are a 19-strong order of the most well-trained and elite psions from the ranks of Division 937. They are tasked with the most dangerous of missions related to the Imperial Shrine's interests, as well as hunting down powerful rogue psions that Division 937's Recovery Section cannot handle.

The leader of the Purity Shrine is the Purity Guard.

Symbol
The symbol and standard of the Purity Shrine is a white-and-black Rising Sun with the six-armed Purity Seal of the Imperial Shrine. This mark represents the five major Gods of the Imperial Shrine, Humanity, and the Empress. Placed on the Rising Sun, this serves to symbolise the centrality of these concepts to the Empire. The colouring of the standard signifies that things can only be pure or impure.

Leadership and Branches
The Purity Shrine is led by a Grand Priest known as the Purity Guard, with their main office located in the Pure Shrine, part of the Imperial Temple on Yamatai. The Guard is also a member of the Shrine Council. Each of the branches' heads report to the Purity Guard, with the exception of the Grand Retainer, who reports directly to the Supreme Priest.

The current Purity Guard is Pak Ji-Ae from Cheongsu, Jeobseon.
