Council of Venice
From The Secret World Wiki
| Council of Venice | |
|---|---|
| Type: | PvP, PvE |
The Council of Venice, formed from the Dragon, Illuminati, Phoenicians, and Templars, monitors the secret world.[1] Whether the Council also includes the Orochi Group or the faction currently only referred to as 'The Rising Tide of Change' is unknown.
The Council holds dual functions; to keep the secret world from erupting into public and to monitor the "gentleman's agreement" between the factions. This agreement allows the Dragon, Illuminati, and Templars to carry out their secret war by designating both the locations and rules.[2]
[edit] Systems malfunction
On August 26, 2011, an event occurred revealing a possible compromise of the Council's security and issues with the Phoenicians. Some of the evidence, relevant to the Council is attached.
During this systems malfunction, evidence of sub-groups from within the Council were discovered. From the warning message there is a reference to COTROE, a reference to the Council of Three; assumed to be members of the Dragon, Illuminati, and Templars. In the email that provided some explanation; we learn that in addition to Council seat holders, there is also the "Circle of the Secret War" which has at least one protector.
On August 27, 2011, leaked emails were posted by The Dark Places at murex.wikidot.com (1, 2, 3). These emails introduced the Phoenicians, Elias Berbera and Dr. Elissa Hanna, and the Council-Consul Sienna. It must be noted that Sienna and Monticiano are both from the same geographical area in Tuscany Italy that has links to the House of Borghese.
