Folks, shedloads more background material published in the righthand frame. If we've got questions (and i know i do) then start a post for each document, that way we can keep the discussion on track.
Lots of this old stuff needs re-working I feel. It doesn't form part of a cohesive whole and is soemtimes at odds with itself, or with what has gone on in play, or just doesn't add up in a sensible sense. I think they are based used as base/starting point rather than taken as canon as is.
Question on the overall structure. Are we really saying that only Ashan is represented in the closed council? For a pretty religious race this seems a bit of a low representation. I would expect the high priest(esse)s of Grun, Arapey and Uludiael as well.
Maybe Luthiel (High Priestess of Ashan) is the only one with a seat at the council but she speaks for the others who may attend the wider meetings but otherwise do not have a role?
I think the closed council needs to remain pretty small. Remember also that you also have Grun aspected ascendant (Amerasu - Quick Priestess) and another Ashan rep (Avarrin - Miller's Daughter) on the council already. Too many god botherers and they will outnumber everyone else and nothing would ever get decided.
