I was invited by Alex Cromme to meet with Cray Fenton, someone who had joined the Society about a year after I left. He was a Freshman at Cabotton University, having been encouraged by Sari Frame in fall 1249 to join the Society. Over the course of the two years that followed, he demonstrated significant talent, with his avatar, Fencrae, having ascended to a significant spellcrafter level in a Legion that has since been divided. However, in December 1251, Fenton boarded the Airship Pirafone intending to land in Linbrae in the Great North and meet with extended family for the holidays.

As everyone knows, the Pirafone did not make it that far. Something went wrong with one of its engines, which blew a hole in the side of the airship and forced it to land in a random field near the little town of North Kemptonin the central province of Nintel. The airship touched down in the field more gently than feared, but the jolt was strong enough to throw Fenton across the cabin chamber, causing him to land and break his wrist.

So he was sent to a local hospital near the crash site, where he met with the Galleston family, whose crop field happened to be the crash site in the first place. Accordingly, they had gotten into a deep conversation about the Third Level Society, in which the brothers, sisters, and cousins, especially Simon Galleston, took deep interest. Between the years 1251 and 1252, they convened in the basement of the Galleston Farmhouse by the crash site and built their own dymensional plane.

Except this was a bit different from the Third Level Society. First, membership of this gathering consisted of solely of Galleston family members and their friends by invitation only. Second, the dymensional plane did not cast a fictional world like Arturia, but a simulation of North Kempton, Nintel, simulating that community's growth rather than casting a plane consisting of quests and conflict.

So Fenton and I talked at length about this. Such a discussion clarified a rumor that was spreading through the Society Caucus that Fenton had started a separate Society, one that gave Fenton somewhat of a reputation for being a controversial figure. There are a few Members who are concerned that somehow this makes Fenton a threat, but like most of the Caucus, I am not concerned.

Moreover, I am happy to meet with Fenton because he is assertive and confident in stature and speech. And he is such when discussing an issue that we have all had with the leadership associated with Dungeonmaster Breen.

Since my return, I've noticed a great deal number of Prefects either overstepping their bounds or not doing enough. At this point, I am not concerned about the Third Level Society fracturing; however, there do seem to be two camps: the so-called "Traditionalists" and the so-called "Progressivists." It started with the Members but has since spread to the Prefectdom, as Members vote in their Prefects. Prefects on both sides have displayed both issues; so no issue, either the overstepping of bounds or lack of role fulfillment, is confined to either the "Progressivist" or "Traditionalist" camp.

In any case, the issue became so apparent in every aspect of Arturian questing that Dungeonmaster Breen called a special Caucus session. They met on 12 May 1252, where exactly 100 attendees, the bare minimum needed for the deliverance of business, composed and passed what was known as the Organizational Prefect Code of Conduct. This piece of paper gives a comprehensive list of role requirements and limitations that Prefects are now required to follow. Amendments to this are proposed by Society Members and take effect pending approval of a Caucus majority vote and the final signature of Dungeonmaster Breen.

Apparently, this Code has been amended over thirty times since last May.

Dungeonmaster Breen did not endorse or propose the Code, but he has, in effect, been enabling it. He has been signing the amendments voted in by Caucus without further question, or so I have heard. The majority votes, by the way, have been quite slim. Therefore, Breen would have had the power to stop these amendments, some of them I admit are quite ridiculous, from going into effect, because his veto would not be able to have been overridden, once again, due to the slimness of the majority that approved them. After all, it takes two thirds of the Caucus vote to override any Dungeonmaster's refusal to sign any given measure.

Also, much of the slim majority that supports this ridiculous Code consists simply of the followers of Sari Frame, toward whom my attitude has changed substantially. Last November, shortly after being re-elected to the Dungeonmaster position, Koby Breen announced that 1253 would be his last year, meaning that, once again, the Dungeonmaster position would be vacant. Sari Frame, that month, came forward and stated she would seek that position, presenting a list of amendments that would make the Code twice the length, basically, as it is now. Carla Wright, who left one year before, was inspired and decided to re-join the Society to work with Frame.

So tonight, I vowed to run against Frame. As Dungeonmaster, I promise to veto every amendment to the Code that I deem unreasonable; if the Caucus disagrees with me regarding that decision, they can simply override me. Moreover, I will undo every ridiculous provision under the Code currently. Doing so will require the majority of the Caucus, but I know that there are some Members who are undecided between Frame and those against her; and they make the key difference in determining the majority outcome.
