Cabal 1: Hermetics

Cabal 2: Other Mystics

Cabal 3: Technomancers

Size of the realm would be determined by Cathy and her cabal. She makes the bubble

Probably paid half and half between Norse and Kana Cabals, Since Kana has to fill it

"Fortifications"

Mari would do Psychic Emanations, Energy Fluctuations, and Climate

Derek would help Kana out, and be in charge of lifeforms, along with Westin

Cara can put put Ars Mentis charms (she'll have Prime 2 by then) for the gateways or chantry house itself.

The next major all characters downtime, maybe

You probably SHOULD put one together for the Olympics

So the Trads have a forward base

Having your own realm is a sign that you've arrived

Cabal Construction Process Thought Experiment

• Owing to a lack of thousands of minions, any motif with a city will have no inhabitants. Ruins are still okay but will need help becoming truly overgrown.

Possible Appearances

Laputa-like construct floating in a void at the point where magic and technology become indistinguishable. (The Kana preference)

Poignant Questions

1. What is the purpose of the chantry?

A cooler, snazzier alternative to sanctum safehouses for most of the chantry's purposes.

Forward Traditions base for Winter Olympics.

Demonstration that Tempus Spatium has "arrived". ie. It makes our q-peen bigger.

2. What does it look like on Earth?

Put some neat entrance/aspect ideas here.

3. Any realm inhabitants?

Not at this rate! So lonely... :(
