The thrones of enlightenment [6/20]

The room is quaint, filled with books for reading, wingback chairs for comfort and a small desk that has a vintage desk lamp with a half cylinder, green glass shade.  Eventually Harlan would enter the room wearing black jeans, a Static Shock T-Shirt and purple converse sneakers. In his hands, is a box, wooden and plain.  

"Magister Munther, I'm glad you're here.  Now that the council has actually formed, it will need a space to call it's own.  To that effort I have put the finishing touches the council chamber."


Harlan walked behind the desk and took a seat placing the wooden box in front of him.   

Harlan took the compliment and nodded.

"Yes, you may see them.  Actually, I have your key right here.  Let's see if I got the enchantments right."

Opening the wooden box, with the lid swinging towards the Master, Harlan quickly picks out a small, blue rock. Upon examination it would appear to be a lapis lazuli to the trained eye.  

"Here you are.  If you could just "sign" for that with your resonance please?"

With the question he hands the lapis to Dorian.

"Yes, the enchantment is complex. It was part of my Thesis when I graduated from the Straussen Academy.  It's certainly evolved since then.  Actually, this is the first time I'm going to employ it in a practical manner.

Harlan moved from behind the desk and began to walk out the door as he talked.

"The council chamber is not a sub-realm it would be too easy to trap the council inside and cut them off from the world.  I call it the "Doistepp Mistake" something I don't intend to repeat.  Horizon Realms, while useful are a liability.  It is much safer to take advantage of a Node's natural predisposition to melt holes in the wall between worlds.  Besides, this location's Horizon Realm is being used for other experiments of mine."  

The pair reached a  7 foot tall double door made of a peculiar metal.  

"I've worked very hard to gather materials, artifacts, and work enchantments for this chamber.   But I'm sure you have questions before we enter."

The Doors open for them as they stepped forward.

Inside, there were walls made of stone and mortar but they had an overlay...a soft purple haze. The whole room had it.  Nine Fauteuil chairs sat in a circle facing each other with desks in front of them. On their backs are the symbols for each Sphere. Glowing, on the back of one of the chairs is the Symbol for Forces.  

"Here we are Magister Munther."

Within the desk the Hermetic finds a Pen and a Stationary.

"Well it will not be possible to let someone who is not of the council or my self in this room.   It is not a simple Ban that keeps people away the ephemera of this place will not accept their existence here with our one of our say so. Likewise, with some help I have destroyed the concept of the things that reside here and woven their Names into  this place."

Harlan walks around the chamber while giving his explanation.

"This will act as a Ritual Chamber for the council and thus is a shared Sancta. This place is also capable of hosting Certamen if that really becomes necessary but I would certainly hope it doesn't."

The wizkid, takes a look at some of the chairs and then walks back to Dorian

"Magister Munther, I can assure you that in this instance, you are not one of my experiments.  However I do believe that you will be a constant reminder why the Ars Cupidae is so vital even in this day."

Gesturing to the chairs next to him.

"The chairs have been aligned geomantically and act as  "lenses" to gather and refract quintessence along the sacred lines in this room for a few reasons.
One, it allows the space to expand beyond its self.   


Two, with out being attuned to this room it could become quite confounding." 


Three, it makes the working of the craft easier here.  But I would ask that you restrict such things to council business only."
