    This thread represents the "ballot box" for the mages' vote on what form of government the Consilium will take. Please write in your vote, and feel free to write an explanation of why you voted that way if you'd like.

    Example:
    "I vote for a consilium made up of cabals, with each sigil holder voting on the council, and a council member selected from the solitaires. This is the blah blah blah blah..."

    Only one post per character, please, each post counting as a vote.

    Note: You can say stuff like "we don't need a structure, but if we had one, it should be X," etc.

    Knot votes for a Assembly-style democracy, with no permanent positions.

    With our small population and shaky relationships, spreading out the authority is the best way to keep bad faith actors from consolidating it for themselves. Everyone gets a voice, and if someone wants to pass something, they have to convince a majority that it's a worthwhile motion instead of three people on thrones.

    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    Winter votes for a Diamond style Consilium, each Councilor is drawn from a different path, thus anchoring the structure to the permanency of the Watchtowers. He'd vote for a Council formed by the heads of each order, but too much power might lead to decision unaligned with the common good, best to keep Order politics and Consilium structure separate, especially when his own Order is often at odds with the rest of the Diamond.

    Typically hidebound and conservative, Campanella votes for a weak version of a traditional Diamond structure:

    Path Councillors, plus a Hierarch with a Deciding vote to better tackle the Seer threat. This, however, is just an organisational framework.

    *The Path Councillors will be focussed only promoting the needs of their respective Paths.

    *The Hierarch is to be more of a general than an arbiter until the Consilium is deemed secure.

    It will be clear from his ballot that Campanella wants a Consilium of Cabals, where each Cabal has a specific focus or contribution to the 'war' effort. Sigil Holders will be roughly equal to Councillors as they represent their Cabals (who it will be assumed are doing the bulk of the work, not Paths alone).

    And by 'war' Campanella means finding their Pylons and wresting influence away from them.

    Membership within Orders can change. Paths do not.

    Bacchus votes for an Assembly style democracy. Positions just promote jockeying and backstabbing and distract from the importance of a shared framework built by laws and mandates.

    Banshee votes for an Assembly.

    No one should be without a voice, and no one should be forced to speak if they do not wish too.

    Equality over the jockeying of positions, and the desire for the title, for the assumption of power might cloud people to what really matters.

    Unity. Community.

    And kicking the Seers in the teeth.

    Hamia votes for Assembly, reluctantly. She isn't overly concerned with a power structure, but voting among the Consilium seems fair to her.

    Multicolored copper bracelet with intricate loops winding around her right wrist.
    Nimbus

    The sweet, fragrant smells of roses mixed with lilacs emanate from her as she casts magic. The scent intensifies, bordering on intoxicating, when Life magic is cast. When Aurora casts Vulgar magic, the scent takes a nasty turn, to the putrid, nauseating odor of a rotting corpse. The stronger the magic, the more those around want to retch at the smell.
