The Consilium of the Isle

The earliest extant records of the Consilium of the Isle depict a Consilium clearly already in existence for some time; the role of Fer Toshee, a direct equivalent to Hierarch, was clearly at that time held by custom by the head of the Ballaharra Cabal.

These records can be dated by comparison to external references to roughly 1332. There's some dispute with the Consilium by the Bay about which originated first; this appears in part to have grown out of a dispute over aquatic Tass reserves between mages of the Isle and members of Alis Aquilae predating the first official contact between Consilia, but relations have been mostly civil since the Isle's claim to the tass of the waters was officially agreed.

Partly as a result of this grant, partly as a result of intermittent issues with aggressors - Awakened and otherwise - from Ireland, the Consilium of the Isle remains one of only four European Consilia to recognise and appoint the position of Admiral. By tradition, the post of Admiral is seldom held by an Awakened member rather than an inhuman ally.

It is rare to see the Consilium of the Isle attend Convocations, with the position of magi from the island very much being that the mainland tends to be able to solve its own problems; however, relations between indiividual mages across Consilium lines are often strong, with Madoc being among those members of the Bay Consilium who learned their Legacy from a mage on the Isle. Particularly connected there is Gwyllion.
