The Free Council is widely thought of as “revolutionary,” despite being an established order for generations (“recent history” having a somewhat different connotation for mages whose history extends back to the days of Atlantis). Many Free Councilors are dedicated to revolutionary ideals, but few as much as the Blank Badges, who craft their very souls toward the overthrow of the Lie and all who support it, who give up their own identities in a quest for a greater identity, and a greater destiny, for all. | The Free Council is widely thought of as “revolutionary,” despite being an established order for generations (“recent history” having a somewhat different connotation for mages whose history extends back to the days of Atlantis).

This Legacy is descended from one of the first cabals of the Free Council, formed during the Nameless War. These outcast mages took their Nameless status as a badge of honor, wearing white or blank badges as a sign of their allegiances, or some other white token, from a flower to a handkerchief. They said the white was for purity, but it also represented limitless potential, a clearing away of all the detritus of centuries of mystical tradition that bound the so-called Atlantean orders in chains of expectations and limitations. To be a mage, according to the Blank Badges, was to cast off such things and to embrace limitless potential and possibilities. | This Legacy is descended from one of the first cabals of the Free Council, formed during the Nameless War.

The Blanks therefore exist on the outer edges of Awak- ened society, acknowledged as members of the Free Council and afforded the protection of Awakened tradition and protocol, even if they don’t respect it themselves. They work with other mages when circumstances require it, but the Blanks don’t trust anyone, often not even members of their own Legacy, because they know the Lie extends its influence everywhere, and is not so easily thrown off as other willworkers might like to believe. | The Blanks therefore exist on the outer edges of Awak- ened society, acknowledged as members of the Free Council and afforded the protection of Awakened tradition and protocol, even if they don’t respect it themselves.
