Correct the reason for the bring in of the whole
brotherhood if the Council can not desided is because
of the 72 years it took for a new archmage be crowned
after the fall of Bega, and even then the Archmage at
that time had to take power by force.

The Lex Magus Rudimentum allows members of the Council
to be appointed as the Head of the Robes, the Warlord,
and the Lord Ri'Magus (Principle of the Mirish
Universtiy).

Their are three robe colors in the Brotherhood.  Black
for Sorcerers who have passed a certian age and
experience level.  The Red robes tend to be the
younger Sorcerers.  The White Robes, being the most
resently created, are the Sorceress.

Each Robe has a head that sits on the Council.  These
must have passed the Lex Magus Rudimentum.

The Magus Rudimentum needs to passed by thoughs who
would become memberrs of the Council.

Their is a test that must be taken to become a member,
but most people go through a period of being an
apprentice.  I am still working on the exact training
methods for the Brotherhood.

Yes to beome members of the Brotherhood they must
become citzens.  Since they have a potential to become
in the goverment.

I am working on more of the details for the test:

The Magus Rudimentum is a test of skill, knowledge,
desion making.  These test are given two Council
members and the Lord Ri'Magus of the Mirish
University.

The Lex Magus Rudimentum is given by the head of the
Sorcerers robes and the Lord Ri'Magus.  It is also a
test of Skill, knowledge, desion making, also is
leadership, and loyalty.

The Archmagus Rudimentum Imperium is given by the
Archmage in the Temple of Miracradsa located on the
Acropolis in Mirabalpur.  None know exactly what is
tested on.  None speak of their test.  It is to
thoughs who pass a Holy experience.
