ESB-Hurmudanka Voluntary Association

The ESB-Hurmudanka Voluntary Association (from the Hurmumol for "Sky people"), established on 11.X.1690, is an Industrial Archaeology Programme established and promoted by the Honourable Company for the purposes of rediscovering the secrets of the Hurmu Gate, a site thoroughly ransacked, disassembled, and removed to Jingdao during the Hurmu Genocide, with a particular emphasis on the mythological history of the Hurmu peoples and their recorded interactions with the Grand Commonwealth, certain aspects of which pertain to matters not considered to be appropriate for wider public discussion.

As an Industrial Archaeology Programme, the ESB-Hurmudanka Voluntary Association is directly subordinated to the Secretariat of the ESB Group.

In addition to an eight man archaeological survey team, the Honourable Company recruited a further research support group consisting of forty scholars and scientists from a broad range of academic disciplines, who together formed the core of the Hurmu Gate Institute, located at the site of the ruins.

Security

Security for the institute is provided by the Bitzurænhæd of the ESB-Jagdverbände, garrisoned at the site, which is also - in the event of an emergency - able to call upon the 11^th Kalisa Rrumëli Field Battalion billeted at the village of Quernass, as well as the 12^th and 22^nd Kalisa Rrumëli Field Battalions garrisoned at Vesüha.
