Back to the Age of Bagrash Kol


Membership of the Bureau of Destiny

The Bureau of Destiny is a tightly-run ship. With only eighty-eight Sidereals on staff, the Bureau is primarily divided along regional lines. Their members sometimes shift from one Direction to another, as their skills demand, under the auspices of the remaining elders of the Bureau. The gods of the Bureau of Destiny work entirely in Yu-Shan, arranging destinies and acting as support staff for the others.

There are, of course, other Conventions, arranged and dissolved as matters necessitate. In particular, the Convention on Bagrash Kol counts all of the most senior Sidereals in Creation amongst its members, as they try to decide what to do about the man who may be a grave threat to Creation - or may simply be another ruthless and powerful lord.

Levels of Experience

Overall, the Sidereals are divided into several very roughly named levels of experience - elders, masters, veterans, and neonates. A neonate is any Sidereal who is under 100 years of age, a veteran is up to 500 years old, a master is up to 1000 years old, and an elder is older than that. These are rough terms, of course, since they are used entirely informally, but members of the bureau often use them when deciding how to arrange their forces - having an equal arrangement of power in every direction has been historically valuable.

The current breakdown of Sidereal experience levels is as follows:

|| Caste    || Neonates || Veterans || Masters || Elders || Total ||
|| All      ||    25    ||    46    ||    8    ||   9    ||  88   ||
|| Journeys ||     5    ||     8    ||    2    ||   2    ||  17   ||
|| Serenity ||     5    ||     9    ||    1    ||   2    ||  17   ||
|| Battles  ||     5    ||     9    ||    1    ||   2    ||  18   ||
|| Secrets  ||     6    ||    10    ||    2    ||   2    ||  19   ||
|| Endings  ||     4    ||    10    ||    2    ||   1    ||  17   ||

The Capital Convention

Seat of the world, at least still officially, the Blessed Isle is the home of more Exalts than anywhere else in Creation, and the Sidereals have spent as much time as possible keeping control of it. The Capital Convention is led by Chejop Kejak - not the eldest Sidereal in Creation, but inarguably the one who has had the most influence on the development of the Realm.

In total, the Capital Convention numbers twenty-two Sidereals. Notable members are as follows:

Elders:

  • Chejop Kejak, Chair of the Capital Convention [Chosen of Secrets]
  • Shajah Holok [Chosen of Serenity]

Masters:

  • Ayesha Ura [Chosen of Journeys]
  • Lavarin Marduk [Chosen of Battles]

Veterans:

  • 12 Veterans

Neonates:

  • 6 Neonates

The Eastern Convention

Handed the most typically chaotic and unruly direction of Creation, the twenty-one Sidereals of the Eastern Convention spend most of their time dealing with minor fate tears caused by an unrivalled amount of Essence-use. Still, they have enough Sidereals to get the job done - as a rule.

Elders:

  • Shimmering Leaf, Chair of the Eastern Convention [Chosen of Journeys]
  • Hallin Vosh [Chosen of Secrets]

Masters:

  • Cho Lung [Chosen of Endings]

Veterans:

  • 13 Veterans

Neonates:

  • 5 Neonates

The Southern Convention

Tasked with rebuilding a still-shattered domain, the Southern Convention has been typically undertasked. All of them are glad to be receiving four new neonates, who will help with the many problems facing the area. In total, the South has only eighteen Sidereals - four of the new arrivals.

Elders:

  • Gannelan Ikelle, Convention Chair of the South [Chosen of Serenity]
  • Shan Mar [Chosen of Battles]

Masters:

  • Nazri [Chosen of Endings]

Veterans:

  • 6 Veterans

Neonates:

  • 9 Neonates

The Western Convention

Overworked and underfunded, the Western Convention has actually benefited from the rise of Bagrash Kol, as they receive additional assistance to help thwart any westwards expansion of the Great Empire. None would admit this openly, but everyone knows that the situation is temporary - if Kol were to fall tomorrow, this Convention would lose agents to the North. Even then, there are only fourteen Sidereals in the West, with the lowest number of elders to match.

Elders:

  • Tavan Kara, Convention Chair of the West [Chosen of Journeys]

Masters:

  • Sapphire Sparrow [Chosen of Secrets]
  • Rimaldi Sarath [Chosen of Serenity]

Veterans

  • 6 Veterans

Neonates:

  • 5 Neonates

The Northern Convention

Operating in stealth and in exile, the Northern Convention has been scaled back since the rise of the Sorcerer-King reduced the number of fate errors occurring across the North. This extra time is mostly used on a variety of stealth missions to curb his rise, and every one of the thirteen members of the Northern Convention is a member of the Convention on Bagrash Kol as well.

Elders:

  • Anys Sin, Convention Chair of the North [Chosen of Endings]
  • Seven-Blade Petal [Chosen of Battles]

Masters:

  • Lupo [Chosen of Secrets]
  • Baram Riza [Chosen of Journeys]

Veterans

  • Pavrin Kayrd [Chosen of Secrets]
  • Commanding Mask [Chosen of Battles]
  • 7 Veterans

Note: The Northern Convention no longer has neonates - they were reassigned to bolster Circles in the Capital, West, and South after the rise of Bagrash Kol.
