The Consult is the cabal of sorcerers, Nonmen, and darker things that survived the death of the No-God in 2155 and has labored ever since to bring about his return. It consists of Erratic Nonmen, the surviving members of the Mangaecca, and the two last Inchoroi. The goal of the Consult is to reduce the number of souls in Eärwa below 144,000, which they believe will sever the connection between the World and the Outside and prevent the promised eternal damnation of their souls.
