Formally, the two Orders - the Sisters and the Wolves - are separate, as according to their origin story. They each have their own set of facilities and dorms divided up by gender, and joined at the Locus to form their overall headquarters. However, centuries of co-operation and working together have meant in practice, the two work as one organisation, keeping the separation in names for tradition's sake. Their goal, however, has never changed: to protect the normal world from magical threats, and to hunt down the Embodiments and Penitents in hopes that one day, the Yarn Spinner will be able to be taken down.
