The Vigilant Gathering is an ancient cabal whose primary goal is to thwart the development of human technology beyond an exceptional threshold of advancement.
History
The group was formed immediately after the Tribulation and is comprised of Aelda
Organization
- active agents (short term, long term) comprise semi-autonomous cells of 2-5 people
- dormant agents
- Braided Souls (humans cultivated to align themselves with the objective of the Gathering)
Controversies and Resolutions
Aeldan jurisdictions turn a blind eye to the Gathering and its affairs so long as the Gathering honors a set of agreed-upon rules; namely, the Gathering:
- may not interfere the political autonomy of the Aeldan government
- must petition the local Aeldan jurisdiction for approval if its affairs might threaten relationships between its allies
- must restore any political imbalance or damage created by its actions
The Ulmeth Consideration
The Gathering has been embroiled in a centuries-long war with the lords of Ulmeth. Over the course of its existence the Gathering has assassinated multiple targets within Ulmeth who sought to expose the group to the wider world. These cases are unique in its history
