The Temenos

The Temenos is an organisation with branches across various European Consilia, one group of which was particularly active in the Preston Consilium as a cabal of the same name, now defunct. It appears dedicated to work on the Awakened soul, its properties, and how best to utilise it.

As Pauli found, it is also heavily involved in soul trade through the use of smuggled Soulstones.

History
Members of the Temenos have been active since the early 1990s in Preston, where the organisation really gained steam in one of the Consilia most open to Left-Handed activity.

Connecting with several other groups around Europe including the Vinci Consilium and the Bull Ring Estate, the group has spread and exchanged research, with their claim when challenged being that they're finding ways to hasten Awakening, progress their members in the wisdom needed to Ascend, and to unlock the secrets of the Lie, ultimately subverting the prison.

The organisation suffered a blow when Lance exposed certain of their activities in Preston, drawing the attention of both de Molay and the Grey Mouser, though Sator interceded in official activities. It is doubtless recorded somewhere in Sator's archives what was provided to de Molay which bought him off; however, the Grey Mouser never gave up her own investigations, and it is speculated that this is why Sator and the Mouser clashed from that point on.
