Thunder Bay Council
The Thunder Bay Council are the individuals in Thunder Bay who hold power within the supernatural community of that area. Due to an influx of people seeking refuge from the Carmine Exile, they are unusually strict towards outsiders.
Operations
Practitioners operating in Thunder Bay are expected to participate in the council. All council members will meet for important issues that affect the city, such as warfare, but otherwise only 6-8 individuals will be called upon to participate on any given matter, along with the Lord herself.<ref name="otis-council">"If you were accepted into Thunder Bay for any length of time, we would expect you to participate in council meetings like this. There are twelve families or individuals. We also have four Others who appear sometimes, making sixteen in total. You would be the seventeenth. We try to aim for six to eight council members on nights of less important matters, but we’ll have all sixteen representatives attend for questions of war and circumstances affecting the entire city. Individuals or representatives sent from each of the seventeen.”
“The Lord always attends,” Deb the Storm Chaser told Avery. - excerpt from Fall Out 14.1</ref>
The meeting place for council meetings is in an underwater chamber near the marina. To get to it, you have walk on the reflections of the moon. When you get to the last one, you fall beneath the waves into the room.<ref>They hopped from one glowing disc on the water’s surface to another, out about a hundred feet past the shoreline.
On the last step, as they reached the end, it gave way. Water rushed out and up on either side of them, and they plunged in.
They barely got wet. They went down, balanced on a reflection of the moon, descending into deep water.
The walls of water on all sides of them went out, reshaping into tendrils and other shapes that meant they didn’t hit the people who were standing there. They solidified into walls of parted water forming a loose dome shape, with a window at the top for the moon to shine through.- Excerpt from Fall Out 14.1</ref>
