The leaders of the pre-sundering people of Etheirys.
“The Convocation of Fourteen is a governing body that determines myriad policies. Our goal is to ensure that all is right in creation, that our star may know a brighter future. As the name suggests, the council is comprised of fourteen offices, each of which is held by an individual chosen for their surpassing abilities. Depending on the office, one is required to either be an authority in a certain field, or possess skills that would facilitate the performance of their stipulated duties. The former category includes Mitron, specialist in aquatic life; Loghrif, specialist in terrestrial life and husbandry... Halmarut, specialist in fungal and plant life; Emmerololth, specialist in medicine and healing... And Lahabrea, specialist in creation magicks, who has brought forth phantom beings of the highest complexity. As for the latter category, there is Altima, advocate of the arts; Igeyorhm, champion of enlightenment and rhetoric; Pashtarot, preserver of discipline and order... Emet-Selch, keeper of the aetherial realm─or “Underworld” in the vernacular; Fandaniel, pursuer of extant phenomena... And Azem, traveler of the world and counselor to the people.

“I feel my soul turning. Slowly but irrevocably. And the power I wield begins to seem terrible... But this is right. It is right.

Elidibus
Emissary of the convocation's will.[2][3]
The Elidibus is the Convocation's representative to the public, similar to a real-world political ambassador or public relations agent. Just as the Convocation is meant to embody what is best for the star and it's inhabitants, the duty of the Elidibus is to speak and act in a way that exemplifies the goals and beliefs of the Convocation. Members of this role, as far as evidence provides, must also don the "white robes of an advisor" and be prepared to make decisions from a position of true impartiality that remains uninfluenced by personal beliefs or emotions.

For while the rest sat in Amaurot, its holder was charged with gaining an intimate knowledge of the wider world. In the course of [his/her] duty, [he/she] traveled the length and breadth of every land, and befriended countless folk"

ELIDIBUS: "The decay first took root where the currents were weakest. Yes...a conclusion drawn by him. Fandaniel. Not the him of here and now, but as I knew him. Long, long ago... Having shed light upon the phenomenon, he dedicated himself to devising a countermeasure. Were it not for his knowledge of the celestial, we would never have made the connection─and thence forestalled the Final Days." - ↑ Lorebook object found within dungeon "Akademia Anyder", VISITOR'S GUIDE: "Did you know that the original Halmarut, a man lauded for countless advancements in the field of phytobiology, was an avid landscape gardener? He was famed for botanical labyrinths of intricate design, the foliage of which he sought to protect from voracious pests with the inventive application of creation magicks─a recreational project said to have led to the evolution of the world's first carnivorous plants. Students of his research later expanded upon those early techniques, and successfully developed an extended family of ambulatory flora. If you, too, wish to set down roots in this fertile field of study, hearken you to the Words of Halmarut and submit your application to the Akadaemia."

It is here that many ichthyologists seek to follow in Mitron's footsteps, and engender sea creatures characterized by traits both unique and beneficial. “Diversity is the key to a robust star. The ocean is the soup of life, and we must endeavor to enhance its richness.” Such were the words of Mitron, and they guide our research to this day."
