The Three Triumvir (individual pillars) that form the framework for every witherward are Scientem, Proelium, and Diplomaticum. Each Triumvir is overseen by two Collective Chorus Triumvirit Deducendae, and headed by their respective Vox Triumvir (Ministre Plénipotentiaire/Consul).

The Vox Triumvir (plenipotentiary) is invested with the full power of independent action on behalf of the Collective Chorus. These Vox Triumvir oversee their individual pillar as they best see fit according to the mandates or demands of the Collective Chorus. Each Vox Triumvir is directly connected to the Collective Chorus' cybersnaptic body.

Each Pillar is comprised of multiple Academies. The overarching term "academy" is misleading in that it does not denote a place of learning; it is in reference to a collection of knowledge relating to a specific group of disciplines that intertwine with each other. Each Academy is governed by a Praetor appointed by its plenipotentiary. The proper term of address for the praetor is Madam, Sir, or Knev (gender-inclusive species).



TRIUMVIR SCIENTEM - THE FIRST PILLAR

Scientia Vehiculo
Veritas Mihi Ostenditur (Latin)
With Science as my vehicle,
Truth is revealed to me (English)
The primary Pillar and the one most occluded from public view, the Triumivr Scientem is responsible for the development, implementation and advancement of science and technology within the Witherward. It works in direct support of the Greater Nifidium Convocation's mission. It is the most complex of all Pillars, beholden to no other Pillar or Academy yet responsible for providing the research and mechanisms to keep the society running. It is sometimes referred to as the "Silent Pillar" given that hasn't any public voice.

Sciscitatio
Praetor: Sir Makisig Bautista, Sc.D.nat
This academy bears the responsibility for investigation, exploration and research pertaining to matters outside the Greater Convocation. It is often called upon by the Diplomaticum when a xeno ambassador requires special housing. The Sciscitatio is commonly referred to as the Grey Offices due to the vast amount of foreign technology and weapons rumored to be under scrutiny therein.

Tekhnologia
Praetor: Madam Leandra Anderson, Sc.D.biomed
The core of the First Pillar, this academy conducts creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of the universe and the beings within it, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications, and is referred to as the Academy of Science. Applied sciences within this academy, to include but limited to genome sequencing, construct development and design, weapon and vehicle fabrication, interstellar travel belong to a department known as the Academy of Technology.

TRIUMVIR PROELIUM - THE SECOND PILLAR

As the Second Pillar, the witherward's Proelium concerns itself with protecting borders and providing internal peacekeeping forces as well as maintaining the space station and shepherding shipping routes or trade lines.

TRIUMVIR DIPLOMATICUM - THE THIRD PILLAR
