The Inner Circle

The Inner Circle is the ruling body of The Iron Ring and is made up by the highest ranking members of the society. The ranks that give a seat in the council are Lord Preceptor and Preceptor. A Knight that is given an honorary seat is refered to as a Praetorian.

Each member holds one vote with the Lord Preceptors vote being the deciding one in case of a draw. The number of members in the Inner Circle has varied through the centuries, with some Lord Preceptors ruling alone, refusing admittance; and others that have expanded the circle to the point where an individual had little power. The first forsaken to hold this title was Abraham Tremayne, who is responsible for re-forming the Inner Circle together with the society itself after the tragic events of the Scourge. He was followed by Antus Draconus, who was slain during gilnean border squirmishes. Currently the seat is empty.

Admittance to the Inner Circle demands that you are a Forsaken of noble blood that has served with distinction as a Knight of the order and a patron in the circle recommending you for elevation. This is then put to a vote. The members of The Iron Ring that holds a seat in the Inner Circle in the post- cataclysm era is: Abraham Tremayne, Mestopheles Runestratum, Ivar Darkslade, Alleric von Reeste, Shavrash Aramaine, Kadien Raventhorne and up until his death, Antus Draconus.
