Knowing its nature, it wouldn't surprise you to learn there are more. Wizard's councils, however, are attended by only a few - although  there always seems to be one old member you never have seen before. The covenant keeps no record on which member is dead, or passed to final twilight, and the number of magi that resided within its great halls over the centuries is in the hundreds. You can only hazard a guess as to how many are still active.Each magus receives a laboratory and with it a stipend of (Gormenghast-minted) coin, lab supplies, and may call upon the services of the artisans, experts, and grogs of the covenant (with seniority determining underling duties in case of conflicting instructions). Raw vis is not supplied automatically; rather, a raw vis stipend may be alloted in a council meeting, as can other desirable resources. The council is convened on each equinox and solstice, but must be attended only by those the Rex Scorum determines - if you desire to attend one, you must notify him at least a season in advance.Junior magi are often invited to council meetings and various minor ceremonies. They are also frequently tasked with collecting raw vis, or with various missions and problem-solving duties by the senior magi. While you may vote in council, senior magi may veto or ignore your vote... sometimes, according to precedent.You are not aware of the covenant's accounting of mundane equipment, lab supplies, or magical vis and resources. From the neglect of entire wings and the poor maintenance of those used you gather resources are limited. Yet food is plentiful and diverse,  lab supplies never seem in shortage, and all its many grogs are adequately, if inexpensively, equipped. Everything seems to functional, but only barely so  - except, that is, to the food, which is extravagant.In terms of raw vis you believe the covenant has more then adequate resources, and has over the years accumulated vast stockpiles. Certainly you have never heard that the covenant lacked the vis to grant someone any request - objections were always, it seems, made on some other ground.</blockquote>
