They were among the first to send researchers to the Island of Dawn when it had first arisen from the sea, for example. However despite not being openly active, the Consortium still had their fair share of power.
Over the years, the Consortium allied themselves and formed ties with the Federation, and often might be seen on the battlefield, though this common sight slowly dwindled as less and less mages would choose the war path. Many chose the paths of knowledge, some chose the path of war, and only a few ever looked into the "darker arts" of sorcery. Most of them loved to discover new magical phenomenon, while others chose the path of harnessing their powers for battle. Over the years, the Consortium slowly strengthened their bond due to their love of sorcery. Each one would be referred to as "Eldest". There were also Elders who acted as the leaders of each faction personally, who were second-in-command to the Council for each faction. Due to the animosity, and inner fights amongst them, there were Councillors elected from every faction and sub-faction (sub-factions had been formed from the main three by this time) to sit on the governing body of the Consortium, known as the Great Council of Sorcery.
Originally three separate orders, the Consortium united only a few years before the formation of the Valkyon Federation, and at first were incredibly wary of each other, not fully trusting after many years of keeping onto separate paths.
