"Often, our world is lifted elsewhere. Many come. Many go.
To them, I am little more than a lantern glow. Those who
dawdle before us smile at the prince’s boyband charm, or
the carpet’s swirling curlicues, but you, you stop. You peer
at the cold coal that birthed me. Your eye meets mine
and at last, the gaze is complete. Tell me, what do you see?"
-To Meet The Firebird's Eye
Supernal Meaning

The Firebird: In Slavic folklore, the Firebird's tail feather serves as a call to adventure. The summons to a quest both disastrous and rewarding. The pearl of wisdom in its beak may be gained at the cost of sacrifice, departure, loss, and suffering. Coveted, yet reviled.

Recruiting
Are the Firebirds Recruiting?: Yes. We're a Moros, a Mastigos, and a Thyrsus short at present. Other Paths may also apply.

What do the Firebirds do?: They protect the integrity of the Consilium and the safety of the Veil through directed intercession in the media, in the affairs of the police and government, and in extreme cases through force of arms.

What are the Firebirds looking for?: Preferably, we choose our numbers by Path. Candidates should have some level of aptitude in social engineering or spycraft. Status merits, social merits, or the ability to acquire them. Alternatively, a proficiency with discrete violence, an ability to use magic subtly to desired ends, and an overdeveloped sense of ethics.

What do the Firebirds have to offer?: At present, not much. Their members are scattered across Russia and Europe, and are presently fleeing a crackdown by the FSB.

Services
What can the Firebirds do for non-members? Despite their present lack of infrastructure, the Firebirds are uniquely positioned to apply their talents in civil society and government. They are inveterate information gatherers, and not too shabby at wet work, either. Once they've established a safe house in the city, this will change.

What territory do the Firebirds publicly claim? At present, none. They're still gathering their disparate members and seeking new recruits.

Logs
Protocols

Great Rights

The Firebirds openly honors all five of the Great Rights.

Right of Crossing:

We're reading all of yours while we figure out where we're posting ours.

Right of Emeritus:

We serve the Diamond, its Consilium, and its Consilium's Convocation. We know its Lex Magica. We exhibit deference to its officers. We protect its membership.

Right of Hospitality:

We're reading all of yours while we figure out where we're posting ours.

Right of Nemesis:

We are unaccustomed to the standards of this consilium. If you want a duel, we'll duel. If you want a fight, we'll kill you. We'd rather talk than do either.

Right of Sanctuary:

Stay out of our affairs, we'll stay out of yours. Mess with out property and claims at your peril.
