Overview
The Conclave is a chamber open to all magicians in the Empire. It is a place where magic is explored, discussed and used for the benefit both of the Empire and the magicians themselves. It possesses specific powers to promote and protect safe and prosperous use of magic by its citizens.
Role Within The Empire
The Conclave is charged to harness the power of magic in the service of the Empire. It's remit includes encouraging the use of magic in the best interests of the people of the Empire; preventing the misuse of magic to damage the interests of the Empire; and advising the Imperial Senate, Military Council and Imperial Synod on arcane matters.
Entry requirements
Membership of the Conclave is open to all magicians. To join the Conclave, an Imperial citizen must first travel to The Hall of Worlds, demonstrating their arcane prowess. The Civil Service maintains a presence in the Hall of Worlds to help magicians organise and administrate the business of the Conclave.
While it is certainly possible for someone who is not a magician to enter the Hall of Worlds, if they are found to be voting on Conclave matters they are considered to be perverting the Imperial political system and prosecuted appropriately.
Membership of the Conclave
There is no formal membership of the Conclave as such. Any Imperial magician can participate in Conclave business. They can join an order and serve as, or help to elect,a grandmaster; they can place an item of the agenda of the next Conclave session; help their order decide on which gambit to propose to the archmagi; and they can be proposed for a position within the Conclave such as archmage, warmage or Dean of the Lyceum.
Almost all Conclave business is done through the payment of crystal mana. This mana is collected by the civil service functionaries, and is allocated for the use of individual magicians by the archmagi.
