NOVUMIST COUNCIL

The Novumist Council is the name of the organizing body of Messengers, Guardians, Seers, Grand Masters, Guild Masters and all the acolytes in all regions. It will be organized as a non-profit that everyone falls under, and under law all finances will be able to be viewed by the public. It is often abbreviated as N.C.

The mission statement of the N.C. is to teach the world through written and oral methods the ways of the old. This means not only religious information but skills that will matter later if and when our civilization collapses into anarchy and a dark age. This information encompasses but is not limited to:

MESSENGER

A Messenger is a top-tier member of the organization whose purpose is to develop the literature and direction of the Novumist Council. Messengers are like board members of a company but with marketing duties. The Messenger rank is not something someone is voted into or where there is a preceding rank requirement. It is a position that can only be invited in to.

Messengers like all ranks abide by certain precepts that dictate the lifestyle they are to lead. They lead by example and practice what they preach.

Some of the duties a Messenger performs are the following:

- Develop the guidelines for guild members to follow
- Create the books and audiobooks
- Create general lesson plans

Some of the duties assigned to a Guardian is as follows:

- Document and catalog learning materials
- Document information from Grand Masters and Seers
- Backup data
- Perform accounting tasks
