It is agreed then. Solomon shall be elevated and join our council. Decisions on whom to raise as Master should wait until he can sit with us, perhaps tomorrow night.
But for discussion, I would advocate more on behalf of Acutus. He has put his time in and lived up to his end of the bargain. At this point, according to our Resolutions on Rank and Membership, it is pretty much automatic. Same as for Roberto and Fleur. Fredrika's got five years in, two more to go. Seven years, and spending the whole of the time at Sa Dragonera counts as their required services. A deal's a deal.
For Kesara, I could point to her work and legacy, but I have to admit I think she is not interested. Heard a rumor that she may be petitioning for membership at Duresca and training as a Quaesitor.
Lucas is my top pick to raise as Master, honestly. Once he learned that we don't count service the way we count beans, he has doubled down on his efforts and seems to enjoy doing as much as he can for the covenant!
And I see him as best suited for the Herald role.
Fleur, her raising is due. I am actually not so keen on her, but she has filled her end of the bargain. And, based on her demonstrated efforts, I figure she should be our librarian. I have a different idea for Vocis, I'll get to that.
Now about Roberto. I know you love the guy, and he is due. And he is the best magus for the job. And one of the greatest examples of a Flambeau magus I have ever met. And he can have the job if he want's it.
However. You knew a "however" was coming? There is always a however.
I think that guy is an extreme jackass. He is arrogant, pushy, reckless, and a magnet for trouble.
So offer him the job. See if he takes it.
I put in a push for Acutus, but he and Roberto both raise the same concern for me. Their joining the covenant is sort of the result of our having annexed them. Roberto has said as much openly before.
As for Vibria, we technically would have discussed that a few years ago :mrgreen:
