So anyway, this is really just a brainstorming thread basically, I don't even have a solid idea of what to actually name the council. As I've explained a couple of times via PM, the whole idea of this is simply to bring together a couple of different and diverse characters and throw them all together and see what happens.
I would that from that point on the council would general it's own self-sustaining story threads based on interactions between the characters.
I kept the initial pool of people I sent invites to intentionally small because I figure we can bring in others at later dates if the idea works at all.
So what kind of input as far as ideas far as naming of the group and what not do we have, the ones I've considered are; The Shadow Council, just "The Council", or maybe something more Esoteric like "The Council of Shadows". The two things I would like to avoid are numbers because this would limit the number of people who could sit on the council at one time (though that would present a whole different story branch if we wanted to go that route eventually right now I'd rather avoid it) and the Force because while some of the members may be Force users it will not be composed solely of such people.
Hrm, "The Order of the Unseen Hand" or "Order of the Invisible Eye" or "Council of the Illuminated" or "Illuminated Order of Revon Thek" (Revon Thek being no one in particular) all seem... appropriately foreboding.
"High Council of Illuminated Elders," Hrm... all of these have a peculiar "Illuminatus! Trilogy" flavor.
"ConsiliumUmbrasIllustrata" or "ConsiliumUmbrasLux" (my latin being rusty) would be "Council Illuminating the Shadows," roughly.
