Timeline

Recent events

2013

With the union of the North and South Consilii into the Consilium of the Golden Quill, Old Nick remains Deacon of the Silver Ladder and close adviser to Cassandra Arlington, Hierarch of Perth.

The initial sessions of the Consilium of the Golden Quill have been largely administrative or diplomatic engagements, with Old Nick manoeuvring support for the new Hierarch. That is, until the emergency meeting of the City's Mastigos, confronting Orobas (current Path Master for the Mastigos) regarding his record of service and commitment to the Mastigos representation to the Path Council.

After a direct challenge, Old Nick was defeated. Orobas, magnanimous in victory, accorded Old Nick the title of Provost of the Mastigos.
