Entry 42 - Know Thy Enemy
Sabriela,
We have learned a great deal about the Consortium and yet much still remains unclear about this clandestine group. Our information reveals that the majority of their numbers indicates many to be survivors of lost cities. Each member serves a specific role within the Consortium from warrior to diplomat to everything else in between.
Raena Demora seems to be the tactical mastermind behind the Consortium. Their ranks refer to her with the title of "Commander". Her word seems to be absolute among their ilk. Demora has displayed the unusual talent of being able to communicate with other dreamers, specifically those attuned to focus of insight, at long distances.
Kael Lupich has been referred to as their "Enforcer". The towering dreamer eclipses most dreamers although his agility is quite renown. Lupich is fiercely loyal to the Consortium and like a raging bull, he will charge against anything that would threaten the Consortium and its members. He has recently been spotted taking guard within the Palisades. His presence there remains a mystery to anyone outside the Consortium.
Daska Jerikko, the Parliamentarian. Jerikko's mastery of words rivals Lupich's talents on the battlefield. A master of diplomacy with a sharp wit and scathing tongue, Jerikko serves as a resonating voice for the Consortium with a message that echoes deep into the DreamScape.
Silk Nuvas appeared in Underlight long before any of his peers at the Consortium. The 'gifts' he creates with his unrivaled abilities of forge has served as catalysts for several wars between factions. The Smith Dilettante is consumed with the urge to create new and fascinating talisman. One can only begin to fathom what the Consortium hordes within their vaults in anticipation of those foolish enough to cross them.
Morganna Hexx, like Silk Nuvas, appeared within the City of Dreams prior to the rest of the Consortium in a mission to gather information on us and our culture. Her mastery over the occult and incantations grants her the title of Sorceress. Although, she seems to hold a disdain for physical combat, her mystical talents is capable of turning the tide in the Consortium's favor.
Drex Valora is the latest addition of the Consortium and remains an enigma to our people. While he is referred to as "Confessor", his exact role within the Consortium remains a mystery although he has revealed himself to be quite the capable warrior.
Individually, each member of the Consortium poses a major threat should they feel crossed. However, the combined skills and talents of this faction can make the City of Dreams into a thing of nightmares. Rumors are swirling throughout the City that the Consortium is linked to the disappearance of two dreamers, Castellan and Herbert. They speak of a desire to assist the City towards a greater good but such words have been echoed by tyrants in the past.
I will send another update as I learn more about the newest occupants of the Valley Stronghold.
