The Chamber
The Chamber
Alignment: LN
Symbol: Syberis
Description:
The Chamber is composed largely of Young Adult and Adult Dragons, though many of the higher ranking members are Ancient (via aging while serving). More of a Confederacy than a true Organization, the only real directing force it has is the High Council. Members are elected by majority among True Blooded Chamber members of each species, and there is one seat for every type. A member serves out its term until voluntarily stepping down, being deemed unfit by 3/4th majority of the Council, or death. Their edicts are as close to official law as The Chamber can muster.
Within The Chamber, as with the Dragon Congress, Oracles wield incredible influence. They are seen as the voice of Syberis, the conduit through which the God of Good communicates his will to his Children. The main difference, however, is that they will actively attempt to discover the meaning of and aid in the completion of said prophecies.
The disparate nature of The Chamber has not always served it well, though it has aided in keeping it from becoming too ambitious as a whole. Some Young Dragons, convinced of their own rightness or not of sound mind (or both), have been known to take matters into their own hands. The most recent example of this is Gurunberd.
Notable Figures:
Jacarro
LG Male Gold Dragon
The oldest member of the High Council and its defacto leader, his wisdom and foresight grant him a great deal of respect from his peers. Though his almost dispassionate response to most every threat can come off as uncaring, and tends to grate on younger member's nerves, it is actually him doing his best to consider the situation fully. Even if there are times acting quicker may have saved some grief among the "lesser races", his guidance has seen to the successful repelling of the forces of Khyber for almost 800 years.
Larizza
NE Female Red Dragon
The youngest member of the High Council that runs the Chamber, she is prone to hot-headedness and confrontation. She seems to pick up on more of the urgency the "lesser races" feel than her comrades, though whether it is a good or bad thing depends on the situation. It may just be part of what she is, but the others believe (and hope) it is just a side effect of having taught so many of the Bearers of the Crimson Flame over the years.
Ilayna
TN Female Blue Dragon
A Peace Maker among the very strong personalities and opinions of the Chamber, she is adept at diffusing tense situations (normally caused by Jacarro vs Larizza). Normally very respectful of opinions, she will not hesitate to cut short an unreasonable jab or argument. Ilayna can point out the flaws in a debate without insult and give any good points their due without flattery.
In short, if you can back it up, she's behind you. If you can't, be careful you're not cut on that wit of hers.
Calerin
NG Female Silver Dragon
This Ancient dragon bears the gift of Prophecy, and fortold the coming of the evils that are now reemerging to poison the world. Though none know it outside the Chamber, she is also Saala Torrn, leader of the Gatekeepers.
Calm but forceful, she reports what she sees without fail, ensuring she is the voice of the Prophecy, and not an interpreter. She gives her opinion of her vision's meaning, but her interpretation is technically not given any more weight than the others of the Council.
