Graybeard Clique (CTD)

A Graybeard Clique is a type of Unseelie Clique.

Overview

Graybeards love political manipulation. The contacts they have, and the backgrounds they draw upon, determine which pieces are kept on their “side of the chessboard.” They rarely gather in the same place, however, as this would implicate their associates.

Many graybeards deal with the problems of balancing their mundane lives against their obligations to the Kithain. Only a few manage to attain wealth and privilege through political manipulation or supernatural talents. (After all, trying to Soothsay the stock market doesn’t always work as you might expect.) The most fortunate reside in freeholds, and Shadow Court freeholds require masterminds to keep them hidden. Their webs of communication have to suffice for keeping them informed, but they also are rarely surprised when cliques of wilders or childlings stop by to crash for awhile.

The first goal of the Shadow Court is to understand the world of mortals and shelter those who cannot live in it. Graybeard cliques excel at achieving this goal.
