    A Chat With Our Discord! A mage actual play wrap up. Two years, three story tellers (Rudy, Alex and Greg) and 27 characters later we've run a game where the entire Alaskan Consillium Council were PCs!

    Two years, three story tellers (Rudy, Alex and Greg) and 27 characters later we've run a game where the entire Alaskan Consillium Council were player characters! But didn't start that way! • Amy became our first PC councilor when she replaced NPC Councillor Alexi who was fed to a True Fae by Drozdov, a Seer working for Father • Tante Corr was then replaced in turn by the acanthus Styx when the Archmage Lumen resurrected Styx but not Tante Corr. • In that same resurrection: the Adamantine Arrow Vizier became Obrimos Councillor replacing the deceased NPC Uncle Sam who had been killed by the White Lady. • L'Hasa (aka Dragon aka Suki) donned the mantle of Moros Councillor in place of NPC Lore who died in the Battle of Fort Greely. • Ammonite of the Loonies (a "Nameless Order") supplanted the NPC Thyrsus Councillor Ángángŭjuk who had abandoned the Consillium in their time of need. • Mastigos Daeva was resurrected, but not by Lumen. She still took the seat of NPC Mastigos Councilor Beholder who she had worked closely with before zeir untimely death. • Lorna, a transplant from Scotland, was called to be the Acanthus Hierarch replacing NPC Hierarch Arnaq There were lots of little shout outs to players who didn't make the Augate Wrap up like: Gabriel who played Scan, a Free Council Mastigos Aidan who played Tempus/Hemanubis, a time themed Mastigos Horne who played Two Moons, a Silver Ladder Thyrsus Seth who played Asrai, An Obrimos Free Councillor / Seer Archmage and Amaryllis teller of London who played Tante Corr, Mysterium Acanthus who became the Left Handed Eigenharr in league with the Death Strand. Thanks to all of Augate for your exceptional storytelling. It was such an honor gaming with you all. Players in the games socials for more exploration!
