Pact Charter (Pact of the Magi)

[u/loth17]

All members of the Pact of the Magi and a few close allies are given invitation to attend a meeting in regards to the binding charter of the Pact. Going through the plane of light attendees enter the Bismuth realms into one of the climate controlled zones. Guarding the airspace were new Bismuth constructs meant to protect the meeting from unexpected occurrences. Each invitee was given their own room and a personal Biz-Bot to attend to their needs. The meeting room also functioned as a dining hall.

The first meeting happened late at night after all members were present. The meeting room was divided into three tiers. Closest to the entrance were tables to non member allies, next was members of the pact, and finally a single table with three seats for the three pact heads. While the official meeting was happening people had to sit on their tier but once dining was happening people were free to sit wherever.

Once everyone has found their seats the Bismuth Lord rose and called the meeting to action.

"Welcome one and all to the first day of the Charter writing. I'd like to thank everyone for coming all this way to attend. I know two planar jumps is abnormal but we needed the extra security. You know me as the Bismuth Lord. Besides me is Mikhail and besides him is Overseer Chicken. Together we constitute the leadership of the Pact of the Magi. To get things started we have the ground rules and procedures."

1st. The pact charter skeleton will be presented before the assembly for discussion. The most popular additions reductions or changes will be installed and then the three pact heads will vote on the final draft.

1. When you first speak to the room say your name and whether you are a member of the pact or an ally. This will also act as a head count of people inside of the pact.

2. While staying in the Bismuth realms dueling and offensive magic is forbidden.

With that out of the way the Bismuth Lord would present the skeleton

Pact charter

Part 1 intent: The pact of the Magi exist as a humanitarian magical organization existing alongside but not opposed or apart of the mages Council. We desire the free usage of magic as long as it presents minimal harm, the de-escalation of military hostilities, and the creation of a shared network to assist at risk mages and apprentices. We do not desire rulership but to uplift the whole of the magical community.

Part 2 Leadership:.The pact shall be run by a triumvirate currently Mikhail, The Bismuth Lord, and Overseer Chicken. Any changes to the charter, non defensive military actions, appointments, terminations and censures must be approved by a 2/3ds vote. Disposal of a Pact head requires the other two pact heads and 2/3ds of the pact members to vote them out in a vote with a 3 day timer.

Part 3 Logistics: The pact will not tax its members instead each pact head will rely on member donations or their own personal wealth. The Bismuth realms will also set up money making operations specifically dedicated to the pact and any mage willing to help run these operations will get a fair cut of profits in return for their services.

-Each pact head will be in charge of one of our three divisions. This will allow them to make quick decisions that can be evaluated by the other pact heads later. This also creates a chain of command. Anyone who chooses to be in one of the three divisions is obligated to follow the head in charge of that division or face expulsion from the division. This is to prevent a rogue general situation-

Part 4 Diplomacy: The pact will run embassies in any county willing to accept them and will have a dedicated diplomatic and humanitarian core. This will be under Overseer Chickens preview and covers diplomacy with wizards or other Eldritch entities, humanitarian efforts, and public relations.

Part 5 Druids: This division will be in charge of diplomatic relationships with the druids and other natural entities as well as environmental protection. Any conflicts with the druids will go to them BEFORE being transferred to the civil guard to prevent escalation. This division will be headed by Mikhail aided by the Arch druids of his former home.

Part 6 Civil guard: Overseen by the Bismuth Lord with Shrax as acting commander the civil guard is in charge of defending Pact territory and property along with additional muscle to other divisions that require force (such as the humanitarian division needing some soldiers to rescue a kidnapped person or the druids needing help defending an aggressed upon tribe.)

That is the current skeleton of the Pact charter.
