There were two meetings of Enchanters surrounding the Consilium meetings of July 2014. The first was held at the Tower Bridge Bistro and the second was held after the Duel Arcane when Dal Riata lost to Aquinas at the Circle of Creation.
Meeting at the Tower Bridge Bistro
Miach was kind enough to set up and advertise the meeting, and provided for a meeting space by the patio. Some food on a buffet, and the bar nearby, there's enough to get them social for a couple hours at least. Slowly Enchanters arrived after Miach; Pepper, Crowley, Faye, Tyria, Avalon, and finally Nous, who was last and right on time.
The Enchanters got to know each other. Tyria inquired about Nous' philosophy and they agreed that Intuition and understanding is more important than the misperception of their path.
- “Understanding escapes so many,” Tyria says simply, “some of the thistle put too much stock into what they see rather than what they understand.” [1]
Soon the topic of conversation turned to Councilors, and if there were none from team Acanthus. It turned out that the council was non-existent, and the consilium a mess, so Faye's suggestion was well received.
- "...if it is true that there is a lack of Acanthi on it, then that needs to be fixed right away. I only hope this is a Consilium that is supportive and welcoming of our Paths views and opinions. If they are not, then,” she shrugs, “We need to change their minds."[2]
They decided that if a change were to occur, they needed a plan to move forward. Nous suggested they be prepared, and maybe just send a Councilor anyway.
- "We should just choose a Councilor for our path anyway. Show that even if the Hierarch isn't paying attention, the Enchanters of the city are. That will clearly send a message." [3]
They stopped talking about it when Avalon, still Hierarch, returned from the patio and her nicotine habit, socializing for a while before dispersing.
After the Duel Arcane
At the Duel Arcane, Avalon--who is now Dal Riata--lost to Aquinas. It was a hard fought battle, but fate was not on her side. She fell, and the Enchanters gathered to select the person who will take the seat. They debate how to select, what the purpose will be, and when to proceed. The meeting is short and sweet, and Nous volunteers, is nominated by Pepper, and all agree that it's the way forward for the future.
