From their floating castles above the village of Arcanix, the powerful spellcasters of the Arcane Congress delve into the greatest secrets of magic. The studies of one group of Congress wizards have led them to believe that the draconic Prophecy, when fulfilled, will lead to cataclysmic destruction, not transformation. The only way to avert the future cataclysm, these wizards believe, is to destroy parts of the Prophecy as they are discovered—or better yet, prevent them from being revealed in the first place. This is the purpose for which the Mosaic Committee was formed.
The Mosaic Committee, named for the decoration in its secret meeting chamber, realizes that its mission puts it at odds with most of the world’s dragons, as well as the rest of the Arcane Congress. But most members of the Mosaic Committee are powerful wizards totally dedicated to their cause; they genuinely believe that they’re forestalling the end of the world. The stuffed dragon heads mounted on the walls of the Mosaic Chamber bear silent witness to the committee’s power and effectiveness.
