However, currently none are truly active. It remained in existence as a honorary name for its members after the refounding of the chantry. Today only Tiberius de Wrang remains, and he seldom mentions his membership. Other formal cabals have been the Brothers of Iron, which were active among the Guild of Vulcanus to gain influence over the mining and refining of iron and lumber, the Societas Ultima Thule, which was involved in exploration and Ordo Ascleipos, which sought to heal and cure the sleepers. Today none of them remains, although they could theoretically be formally reinstated if there were any interest.
Informal cabals are however very active, and many mages are members of several.
This group is dominated by the Magister and the Forcemaster . The members are loyal to the old rules, and wants to make the others adhere to them. They generally regard the Alderman and the Politicians with distaste, and grumble about how the Convivo was better organised in the good old days of Prahler. They regard the addition of the Guild of Bacchus as a mistake, and are very suspicious of the Virtual Adepts. This group consists of the mages involved in political manoeuvrings, both inside the chantry and outside.
