Secret History of Conclave

Undated, from Sanvean: The Formation of the Conclave
I'm including my notes on what I remember about the formation of the Conclave. The founder was Enaias, with assorted personnel assisting, including but not limited to: Marit (krathi of nigh elemental proportions), Alkyone (whiran), Lend (vivadu), Dalaran (krathi), Shoka (whiran, Alkyone's apprentice), a green-eyed elf whiran whose name I absolutely cannot recall, and (of course) Gerrol (infamous rukkian).
The Conclave were aided in their formation by Belya, of the Tan Muark, whose plan was to have the Conclave assist in the freeing of Verra. Accordingly, the gypsies sheltered the Conclave on their land, in a shaded cove (currently held by Kurac) and brought them food and various necessities.
February 25, 1999, from Sanvean: The Lattice
Basic synopsis: After the ritual which opened the rift between the elemental planes, a seed of sorts drifted through, an embryonic nilazi elemental. This manifested as a crystal lattice, which started small at first, then became larger and larger as time progressed, beginning to damage the Heart Tree, next to which it was growing. The lattice eventually swallowed Mirabai, Shakra of the Tan Muark, as she was trying to prevent it from doing the same to Vindao'meyo (another Tan Muark witch). The Conclave eventually held a ritual to try to destroy the lattice.
Based on a long and convoluted theory which I will spare everyone the details of, it was basically decided to send someone into the lattice and draw its attention/appetite inward so it would consume itself. Shauvia was sent, with Vindaomeyo and Mira, who had more experience with the lattice (having both been partially consumed by it previously) in mindlink with her, acting as eyes of sorts, after Emon had opened a gate into it.
She did so, and when inside was faced with several objects, each of which represented an entity the lattice had consumed or was in the act of consuming, as well as one representing the lattice, which she had to choose from. She initially picked wrong and selected Vin's object, which meant that the lattice stole part of his soul/memories (it remains to be seen whether these will be recovered or not) and then picked the right one. Meanwhile (there was MONSTROUS lag and spam during all this) outside, the lattice tried its best to defend itself, throwing both attacks in the form of showers of sparks and shades at the people gathered around it. (I was also dropping Shauvia's hps while she was in there at a pretty steady rate, which she noticed once she was down to about 30 out of 216, heh.) Vin and Mira got stunned, and were dragged off and Gerrol picked up the mindlink, which is the only reason Shauvia's still alive. The lattice was imploded, the Heart Tree is saved, yadda yadda yadda.
February 9, 2000 from Sanvean: Sylara's Death
Sylara was killed by Kuroth (blue robe templar, Ministry of War), who had strong suspicions that she was a sorcerer. He'd been trying to track down information about her for a while, and Xeth (mindbender who has died a little previously) had pretty much told him she was. The Kuraci (mostly Kilem) had also been pretty vocal about it. Kuroth grabbed her and dragged her off to jail, tried to interrogate her, finally killed her and lopped off her head to carry around in a bag. Among the items on her body was a key to the Spire in the Tablelands, a key to Lanthil, and a bland blue potion, which he later questioned Yazmeen (Tan Muark) about. Yazmeen saw the head, recognized it, and let Gerrol know.
Demon appears in Lanthil (Tiernan, Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2000 04:38:20 GMT
Condensed because it's late and I'm tired: 
The recipe:
# A disgruntled Nilazi with a chip on his shoulder regarding Vania summons a wek-level demon this evening.
# He instructs the demon to seek out Vania, and to kill her.
# He creates a one-way portal to Vania, and orders the demon to enter the portal.
# The demon materializes where Vania is, and in true NPC aggro form, attacks the last person to enter the room: Vania's friend, Saran.
# In a feat of demonic fury, Saran dies quickly, painlessly, and is probably still staring at his screen wondering what freight train just rolled over him.
# Vania flees into the darkness, and runs around expertly like she was born in the tunnels, and runs directly to safety. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
# Vania shouts for Telvais, Rognu, and a bunch of other names I forget at this time.
# Rognu senses the demon's presence, and dispatches the intruder quickly... however the damage has been done. Saran is still dead.
# Eventually, Gerrol returns from whereever he was to Lanthil, and Vania tells him the story.
# Gerrol and Vania take Saran's elven corpse out and toss it in a brief, yet tasteful, ritual into the sandstorm.

Itchino (Tetrad), an assassin in the Conclave, was killed on Friday, Febuary 2nd by the Templar Ihsahn.
Basically the story (from what I've gathered, and witnessed) is that Itchino shadowed the Nilazi Roustle (Olafson), who works for the Templarate (namely Ihshan), who are trying to use him to get rid of the Sage. She aparantly shadowed him quite a ways, and discovered the he was a Nilazi (watched him cast, etc), and confronted him about it (via him overhearing her talk to a Half-Giant about it), telling him that he was evil, and she had lots of friend who would kill him very quickly if they knew he existed. She then told him that she wouldn't tell her friends about him, so long as he didn't tell the templarate about her.
Of course, the first thing Roustle does (like any smart player/henchman/cronie) is go tell his Templar bosses about this girl who seems to know an awful lot about magick, and seems to have some friends who hate Nilazi. Some of the conversation seemed to be imbelleshed alittle more, with Roustle adding information that Itchan actually probably didn't really know...just stirring the pot more.
The Templars, highly interested in the woman who knows a buttload about magick, and happens to be threatening their pet Nilazi, immeadiately go out an arrest Itchan. They found her hanging out with a tableful of Tan Muark, who immeadiatly started pulling out of Allanak upon the arrest of someone they had been talking to, heh.
At this point, my details get alittle on the hazy side, with Ihsahn slapping an elementalist gem on her, interrogating her, and eventually letting her go and effectivly banishing her from the city (I think). She, of course, decided it would be more appropriate to hide outside of the Traders untill she thought Ihsahn got bored, and left...
This didn't work out as she might have hoped, and she was tossed into prison shortly thereafter. Ihsahn showed up after a while, and started the interrogation, asking who she worked for, how she knew so much about magick, and who her friends where who would kill the nilazi.
At this point, Itchino decides that if she's going to have to sell someone out, its not going to be the Conclave, but the next best thing: The Tan Muark. She told Ihsahn that she was working for the Tan Muark, who hired her to search for the Sage, so they could destroy him...they hired her, since they didn't want to risk themselves. When Ihsahn seemed non-plussed, and unimpresed with the information, she told him about thier 'weird spirit magick, which uses all the elements at once.' Which she'd seen with her own eyes.
At this point, Ihsahn just got bored, cast 'blind' on her, threw her into the arena, and unleashed a Gaj.
