The Consortium
The Consortium are the unofficial "council" of Gunvorton. A group of concerned and thoughtful citizens who oversee the small place. Of course, Gunvorton is becoming much bigger, much more economically vital to the whole of Scalvoris. They make the decisions, as a group and of course Shania is the head. She, in fact, requested that the Consortium be set up when she was unanimously voted in to the role of Council Member for Gunvorton. It would be important, she said, that people did not take her word for things - that there was a democracy.
In fact, she insisted on it.
So, the Consortium was born. A group of individuals, all of whom worked for the good of Gunvorton and all her people. The members of Gunvorton Consortium are unknown to anyone outside of the place. In case there are visitors who might spot them, when they make their way to their Consortium meetings (held every three trials), they wear hood-like cowls over their faces, over light green identical robes. This is done to protect them, from the various bad influences and negative groups which undoubtedly exist out there.
Who Gunvorton Consortium are is a secret, but the Cabin where they meet is well know. Built just for them by the loving hands of the Gunvorton citizens, the place is a plain wooden building. Inside it is a single round table with seven chairs. There are hooks on the wall for the six robes and hoods to be hung, and Shania's coat, and other than that the place is bare with the exception of a small side-table with a box on it and a pile of parchment and writing implements on it. There, anyone can make a suggestion for the improvement of Gunvorton and her people, or a plea to the Consortium. They read them all and respond to each.
Shania is looking for a new head of the Consortium as her role in the Council is proving too much for her. Until a person comes along who fills that role, though, she's staying put.
