    The Circle of Creation is the gathering hub for all Pentacle mages in the Sacramento Concilium, with chapter houses for all five Orders inside.


    Located east of Sacramento and far outside the prying eyes of the inner city, the Circle of Creation awaits the mages of Sacramento. Despite being a replica of the Westminster Abbey, the sleepers who come by never seem to notice it. The wards built into the structure have made sure of this. To all but the Pentacle the Circle is essentially invisible, ensuring the safety of those who enter and engage with one another. Whether it had always been here for the Awakened was hard to say now, but it was the site that the Awakened gather to mingle and discuss official matters.

    It is a time for simply for mingling among the Awakened. The common area is large and open, but over the course of the month it's inevitable that people may bump into each other. The official concerns of the Consilium are put on hold as a more lighthearted experience is shared among this community of the Wise. Ultimately, this is the opportunity to let the proverbial hair down. How much so is up to them.

    This is the opening post for Sanctuary. Please read this for information on Sanctuary, Consilium, and the difference the two. Come here to be recognized!

    Also a reminder, Sanctuary threads are not official Consilium threads. Those under an incarceration sentence may not attend a Sanctuary thread.

    Sancturary is not a single event, or formal Consilium. It's a compression of time to represent the comings, goings, and intersections of Awakened throughout the month at the Cirlce.
    This is a generic account for moderating the Mage game/forums. It cannot receive messages and inquiries should be posted on your character sheet or messaged to the specific Mage ST(s).

    The Susceptor is occupying a pew in the middle nave. His hands are folded shut together, clasped just beneath his chin, deep in thought.
    Today he's donning a dark suit. Overall, an austere imagery comes to mind.

    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.

    The last meeting had been a train wreck. Plain and simple. Things had gone from bad to worse in a matter of seconds, and she was curious as to if the fracture could be mended.

    Did she want it mended? Some part of her did, they needed to work as one if they were to survive whatever the Seer’s had in store. The other part? Well, that part didn’t give a damn. She had seen the mages of Sacramento fractured so many times that it became part of the structure in a way, just how things would be.

    It sucked, but it was how it was.

    Now, as she walked back in, her shoulders were tense as she mentally prepared for whatever would come. And one thing she did know, she would not be a wallflower and stepped on again. Her voice would be heard and she would stand up for what she believed in.

    Spotting Winter, someone that had been a voice of reason, she walked over. The heels of her booties announcing her presence. She was kinda casual today in black skinny jeans, a white t shirt and a black leather jacket.

    Smiling, she gestured, “Mind if I join you?” she asked before sitting. “How’ve you been since the last meeting?” there was no coffee or energy drink today, only a bottle of water.

    Things were starting to cool in the evenings. Living in what was, for all real purposes, a cathedral, Phoenyx had found it could be very cool, meaning she would often keep on her long trenchcoat. Besides, it made her feel safer. She adjusts her holster at her shoulder and her knives as the small of her back slightly to make them a little more comfortable, and sets off.

    Striding purposefully down the corridor from the Arrow quarter the Obrimos enters the Circle of Creation, looking around at the couple already arrived, complex golden glyphs dancing around a tall blonde and a dour, dark-suited man.

    Well. Better try this whole 'introduction' thing again. People Urgh.. Gritting her teeth Phoenyx heads over to them and smiles tightly. "Hello. My name is Phoenyx. I have been assigned to the Adamantine Arrow here." She offers a hand to Aurora, a little stiffly.

    His gaze wanders over the gorgeous blonde, a glint of recognition in his eyes. "Suit yourself", he pats the wooden frame of the bench with the back of his hand. A deaf thud, the thin metal sheet of a wedding band against the sturdy mahogany.
    He stands up, letting the woman accomodate herself, before sliding back into his seat.

    "Hmm, everything is exactly the same", half bothered by it. "What about you, the last meeting was tense. Politics, order duties, your life, and now those morons. Our lives are not easy by default, but you sure have a lot on your plate".

    Just then another woman stepped in, strolling casually from the Arrows quarter straight to the Councilor. Packing a lot of heat, if his instincts weren't leading him astray. Not a threat he assessed, the wards will prevent an ambush. Though, those Arrows and their bad habit of approaching strangers in their own homes, armed to the teeth nonetheless.
    She studies her for a second, attention shifting between the two women.

    The athletic, young Asian is dressed casually in athletic wear, sweats and sleeveless tee shirt, a prominent "Superman" logo tattoo on his upper arm, really his shoulder. He seems comfortable in the cool air. He comes into the sanctuary area, slipping into pew towards the back, watching, and perhaps praying, his lips moving silently.

    Blue eyes turn to the new girl, a friendly smile appearing on her face, “Hi Phoenyx, I’m Aurora of the Mysterium.” She then accepts the offered hand. “Welcome to Sacramento, been here long?” her tone matched her smile, friendly.

    A guy that stands as a woman sits? Old fashioned, but kinda nice, manners never went out of style.

    “Well, nothing new to report on my end unfortunately.” Though maybe it was a good thing? Then the mention of the last meeting. There was a sharp intake of air, eyes close briefly and she takes a moment before responding, “Tense is a good word for it. It got out of hand, and I wish it hadn’t. But, sometimes you need to stand up and put an end to nonsense.” Was that what she did? Or had she just snapped? A shrug then, “I’m trying not to dwell on it and move forward. And hope that everyone can come together and work as one. If not? Well, we’ll deal with that if it happens.” If she dwelled on it, she’d raise her blood pressure and she’d rather not.

    Glancing towards the other new face, she wondered why he didn’t approach and talk to them. But, whatever.

    She then looks to Winter, seeing if maybe he knew the other guy.

    "About a month. Alastor and Weavebreaker have been most helpful." Phoenyx nods. Yes. Use names they probably know. Let them know you aren't here to cause trouble. GOD this is hard...

    She shifts a little uneasily. "Aurora.... Are you the Councillor for the Path of Ecstasy? I heard your name mentioned around. What should I call you?" she asks the dour mage.

    Seeing Kaze enter actually makes Phoenyx breath a little easier. "Kaze!" She beckons him over with a wave of her hand. "He and I arrived at the same time." As he comes over, she interposed him in front of the resident mages slightly.

    Kaze smiles, slips out of the pew with fluid ease and approaches the others. He nods to Phoenyx, allowing her to position herself, and him as she wishes.

    "Hello. I am Kaze, with the Adamantine Arrows. I am staying here, in the barracks." he says by way of introduction. He somehow manages to give the impression of a slight bow without moving, by his tone of speech alone. His speech is unaccented, or rather, with a subtle, native Californian accent.

    It wasn't long before the First Talon arrived, wearing a white t-shirt, black cargo pants and a black peacoat. Spells were silent, concealed by Prime's obfuscation, but those with a sharp wit and their Sights up might be able to see that which was hidden*. He had his usual backpack slung over his shoulder as he entered; once the doors were closed, he opened it up and produced the coiled abomination of chain and blade that was his weapon of choice.

    "'sup?"

    Aviators swept the group, unconcerned about anything he was seeing here. It was all rather peaceful, wasn't it? But with the clusterfuck of the previous month, such calm was not expected to last.
