Opening (live prose):
The success of the First Council created a new foundation for their society, but it also revealed a new challenge. The decision about the river was a powerful precedent, a demonstration of their ability to synthesize opposing views. But what would happen when a disagreement was not so easily resolved? What would happen when the core values of the Actors and the Seekers came into direct, irreconcilable conflict? The elegant solution of the council was a process, not a universal answer. They needed something more fundamental, a principle that could guide them through future, more difficult, debates.
Non-WOW; echoes bump. Standing held one hundred and seventy-seven.
