The Barrowmen

The Barrowmen were one of the oldest Cabals of the Consilium by the Bay. Exclusively dedicated to the cultivation of the Storm Keeper Legacy, they took their name from the coastal Barrows near Heysham. They were created when the peace between Alis Aquilae and the Pendle Witches led to the foundation of the Consilium, at first being known as the Tempestarii.

Over the years they ceased to be simply Acanthus, though their determination to feature one representative or more of every Order never failed them. For a long time the Barrowmen were where the English, irish, and Scandinavians went to enter the Legacy if not Acanthus themselves, but as the years went by the Storm Keepers became among the failing Legacies, alongside the various Tamers, and the role of the Barrowmen was less and less respected.

At their height the Cabal held twenty members; less than a century later they were having difficulty maintaining a full assortment of Orders, and the weather of the Bay began to return to something more typical.

Their last two members were Perseus and Tyburn; at this time it was decided that after almost six hundred years, the Cabal's time was done. Perseus joined Alis Aquilae, from whence the Cabal's founder had come all that time before, and Tyburn remained Lone until his death of old age in 1996.
