No idea how Mab will react. They are officially married. And what monsters to invite. Skipping them will be as dangerous as inviting them.

Not with Cristos. It's like the principle with American presidency that no one will run for more than two consecutive terms. Then FDR did. As a result, the Constitution was amended. The gerontocracy of the Senior Council is a rule until it isn't. And everyone gets a vote except when they don't. That describes just about every democracy I've ever heard of larger than what we would consider a small town.

Not the oldest available but they only had to ask one other to decline so no fundamental breach.

Ignoring the seven laws there is no constitution. Only a bunch of flexible traditions.

In a real democracy the people or their elected representatives can propose laws an vote for them on their own initiative. They are the ultimate power not a bunch of gerontocrats.
Everyone gets a vote is not enough to make a democracy. It is also about what is done with that vote.

--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 17, 2020, 05:16:59 PM ---No I think that the placard announces things to the world...
--- End quote ---
Is that just speculation, or is there some information out there on that?
I was thinking the placard might have something to do with Naming -- either summoning the being whose name or title is written on it, or perhaps binding a multi-mantle individual into one of her aspects.
