The Secret Autopsy Division (秘骸解剖局, Hi Mukuro Kaibō-kyoku?) is an organization of the Clock Tower of the Mage's Association operating in the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.
Characteristics[]
The division is the organization responsible for investigating the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.[1][2] Everything in the labyrinth is under its sole jurisdiction: even the Barthomeloi who lead the Aristocratic Faction and the Trambelio who lead the Democratic Faction have no say in their arrangements. In a certain sense, though the Secret Autopsy Division belong to the Clock Tower, they are also not part of the Clock Tower.[1]
The organization is split into three parts: the Management Branch, responsible for overseeing the function of the entire organization; the Materials Branch, responsible for providing the tools necessary for the excavation and researching Albion itself; and the Excavation Branch which keeps records of the actual investigators.[2]
Unlike most organizations in the Clock Tower, since it was set up in a way to prevent any one Lord from monopolizing it, the organization doesn’t lend much weight to the bloodlines of those involved. Rather than magi, it would be more accurate to call them archaeological Spellcasters.[2]
The Secret Autopsy Division have buildings at each of the four entrances of the Spiritual Tomb of Albion, which is how they are capable of managing who enters. Though not every one of the people working there are magi, all of them should at least know about magecraft and Mystery.[3]
Divisions[]
Excavation Branch[]
Secret Autopsy Division - Excavation Branch (秘骸解剖局・発掘部門, Hi Mukuro Kaibō-kyoku - Hakkutsu Bumon?) is the department responsible for the actual excavation.
Before the arrival of Heartless and the rise of the Faculty of Modern Magecraft, new generations of magi had no means of making a name for themselves except by finding success in the excavations.[4]
Management Branch[]
Secret Autopsy Division - Management Branch (秘骸解剖局・管理部門, Hi Mukuro Kaibō-kyoku - Kanri Bumon?) is the organization responsible for the management of the mining town of Magisfair within the Spiritual Tomb of Albion.[5]
They possess a tremendous amount of data regarding the people and materials taken into Albion.[5]
The number of entrances to Albion are incredibly few, and though each one is in the hands of the Management Department, the number of officially recognized excavators that attempt to sneak out Talismans from the Tomb is endless, thus necessitating their tight control.[5]
And though the official entrances have been locked down, a number of portals leading from the Tomb to the surface have appeared, leading to a slew of disappearances and graverobbings.[5]
Materials Branch[]
Secret Autopsy Division - Materials Branch (秘骸解剖局・資材部門, Hi Mukuro Kaibō-kyoku - Shizai Bumon?) is the department responsible for creating the tools used in the excavation and exploration of Albion. Unlike most Magical Workshops, because they must mass produce the same items over and over, a number of magi’s Magical Workshops have been combined to create the “Composite Workshop Criegula.” Apparently, the Criegula also once made Witch’s tools or something.[6]
In addition, this division is also responsible for actually progressing research into Albion. Since the disappearance of the criminal Gazamy at the end of the last century, Albion has continued to undergo extreme changes, working this department down to the bone.[6]

霊墓アルビオンを探索するための組織。
組織構造としては、おおよそ全体を運営する「管理部門」、発掘・探索のための道具を提供し、アルビオンの研究をする「資材部門」、発掘者たちを登録する「発掘部門」の三つにわかれる。
君主の十二家に権利を独占させないため生まれた組織のため、時計塔のほかの組織と違って、血統主義の傾向が薄いのが特徴。彼らは魔術師というよりも、発掘のための魔術使いなのだ。 - ↑ Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files Volume 8: case. Grand Roll (Upper) - Chapter 4 Part 2

霊墓アルビオンの採掘都市マギスフェアを運営する部門。
アルビオンに降りる人間や資材、多くのデータを握っている。
アルビオンに降りられる入り口はごく少数しかなく、管理部門がすべて押さえているのだが、正式に登録された発掘者でも呪体をこっそり持ち出そうとする者は後をたたないため、重要な部門。
なお、正式な入り口は管理部門が押さえてるが、突発的に地上に転移ポータルが発生することもあり、これによる神かくしや盗掘もしばしば。 - ↑ 6.0 6.1

アルビオン発掘・探索のための道具をつくる部門。性質上、魔術師の工房としては珍しく、同じものを量産する必要があるため、いくつかの魔術師の工房を合体させた「複合工房クリエグラ」を持つ。このクリエグラでは、かつて魔女の道具がつくられてたこともあるとか。
また、アルビオン自体の研究を進めているのも、この部門。前世紀末、かの罪人ガザミィが消えて以来、さらにアルビオンの変化が激しくなり、激務に追われている。
