'SCHOLAR' The Scholars are one of three coteries that are members of the CONSORTIUM. They were founded when the Consortium itself was created, providing a faction that was not dedicated to specific pillars of study, but to all knowledge. Because of this, Scholars vary widely in their interests and pursuits. When a member joins the Consortium, they begin as a Scholar. As they hone and identify their areas of study, they may become a HERALD or a MYSTIC but they might also remain a Scholar depending on the PILLARS they choose to pursue.
