Ok, let's look at this logically. I think we can safely assume that fighters and healers aren't on the Mystic Council. I think we also safely assume that Apprentice Mystics and Journeyman Mystics aren't on the Mystic Council because they still have much to learn about being Mystics. So that leaves Full Mystics and even if not all of them are on the Mystic Council, some of them certainly are. Who else would be on the Mystic Council? Maybe the Ancients that deal with Mystic affairs but they'd probably be advisors or there to answer questions the Full Mystics have. So when Aravir says "Rather, I am suggesting they represent the attitudes of the Council members" when referring to Full Mystics, he is probably more right than wrong.

Furthermore, you should know that you and other Full Mystics rarely say anything in plain speech so to find the meaning(s) requires digging and searching. I see now that this is a form of protection so when someone calls you on what you said, you can say that you never said that. Unless this is an accident, I believe that you know exactly what you said that Aravir is referring to.

So, you have no specifics to offer then? Fine.

I doubt you'd understand because of how you view the Brions and how we view the Brions. You view them as fellow scholars and we view them as dangerous foes and if you can't understand why we have our view then you won't understand why we think that dealing with them is such a danger to Puddleby no matter what they say they'll offer us.

That sounds like a challenge at the very least. Further, my initial responses were specifically to address the comments here by "unregistered."

A challenge which you didn't take up. While that page doesn't have any unregistered, I remember that post. It was made by Ruen and she later said that she was the one who made that post.

Ahhh, what is my opinion then? Pray enlighten me.

I think your opinion is what the Mystic Council's opinion is.
