The Consensus is the ruling body of the City. Formed at the end of the Faction Wars, the Consensus is an alliance of the City's factions. Only certain factions are allowed in the Consensus; some such as Concordat were ejected when they were deemed too radical. Others are permitted in by the Consensus's approval. The Consensus allows factions to pursue their agendas through legal, civil channels. The Speaker acts as the head of the Consensus, and the Vanguard frequently advise them. Now the Concordant were a Guardian faction and member of the Consensus, led by an individual named Lysander. While the Concordat's central ideology is unknown, at some point the faction attempted a coup against the Consensus. This coup was stopped when New Monarchy's Guardians battled Concordat at Bannerfall, ejecting them from the City. It was believed that Lysander would refuse the call to disband his faction and continue his "crusade". In order to avoid banishing those Guardians who had pledged to the Concordat and provide them a chance to realign, as well as assuage the Speaker's anxiety to reclaim ground lost in the Battle of Twilight Gap, the Consensus decided to grant Future War Cult access to the Tower and a seat among them. New Monarchy will never forget those who gave their lives to maintain peace. We now honor and remember them by dueling at Bannerfall

I could not have answered it better myself. Honest and inspiring. That is the answer of someone truly loyal to our cause.

Thank you for your kind words, however I must say this passage is not all mine. I remember reading this during an investigation of the historical archive when I was in the Justicar division. However after our shift ended, the following day it was closed due to flooding. The Speaker rambled on about it not making sense, but before we could push it up to your good self and force a full inquiry the House of Wolves had escaped the Prison of Elders. Of course duty dictated that we deal with the immediate threat. Since then the books of old have been moved to a location I do not know (but will find out).

I do indeed know of this. I am surprised you knew of this. I am quite impressed.

My apologies of course you would know. Thank you again for your kind words. I hope that the day when we announce our ruler I will be among those selected to protect them.

Perhaps... Would you consider joining our Royal Guard?

I would be honoured to join. Anything I can do in service of this great organisation.

Of course. P.M. me once more for the details.
