The First Bell Brethren

The curved, weathered copper, facade of the First Bell building announces itself as something special as you view it from across the Northern Spine Road whilst picnicking in the grounds surrounding Lake Myrddin. Patches of ivy, twisting vines, surround its windows. As you stroll past the impressive building, bursts of light are reflected from the curved glass, pulsing strobes of mana fuelled energy.

Eminent Prime leads this most organised group which, on the surface, adheres to every rule and regulation of Quintz. Eminent oversees a grand council of eight, with each council member specialising in one of the eight schools of magic and their application to the Ten Wards of Arthur14579. The brethren have that defined pecking order at every tier of their sect with new recruits starting as transient, and then progressing up until they find their calling. Being a transient means you are unfocused. Without focus you cannot bring your entire intellect to bear on the problem in hand. Every sect member bends their focused will to unravelling the Power of Construction. Being the first Power, this has to be conquered in order for them to progress onto the Power of Source (Also known as the Power of Resource).

This singular focus positions the First Bell Brethren at the opposite end of the spectrum to the Seven Sons of Apathy. However, being structured and adhering to all rules makes them ill-suited to oppose the more chaotic sect and somewhat weakens the standing of the sect. Thus, the First Bell Brethren strive for ways to increase their prominence whilst outwardly holding their lofty ideals like a beacon of the righteous.

Eminent Prime sits to the right side of Lismal Conflistadore and is not only head of the First Bell Brethren, but also leads the School of Evocation. Whilst all schools are of equal importance, Evocation is, as Orwell once wrote, more equal than most. Through Eminent's careful guidance, the First Bell Brethren have positioned themselves as rivals to Pulstar in terms of sect desirability.

Diligent and methodical sum up the First Bell Brethren, on the surface, at least.
