A Collective History Vol. 5
"As a child, I'd heard my parents weave stories of their home, Istan. Early on, I suspected 'Bryn might be a djinn. No one in the Collective has ever seen him outside his projected form, and it's become sort of an in-joke for new recruits to speculate wildly. It IS a handsome projection, and yes, I'd asked, and no, he was flattered but uninterested. His loss." — Journal of Fourth Veil, Nemah
In the weeks following, after the charr invasion of Kryta was routed by the White Mantle and their masters, their occupation of Kryta began. The remaining mesmers decided they would not abandon Kryta to its new regime. There, Adelaide, Velise, Gauvain, Nemah and Obryn would form the first inner council of the Mesmer Collective, a fledging network of spies and informants that would serve Kryta in the formative years of the Shining Blade and, later, their own kinsfolk in the Ascalonian settlement. In time, the Collective's numbers would grow. Individuals with ties and connections to larger Krytan towns would form the first outer council and, eventually, the first members of the Shroud.
The truth of King Jadon's disappearance and death remains a secret to this day, known only to a privileged few outside of the Collective. Even after Queen Salma reclaimed the throne, the young Mesmer Collective deemed it best that the truth remain buried, worried that Jadon's death under the protection of Ascalonian diplomats would rouse suspicion and undermine the burgeoning trust between the new Ascalonian refugees and the Krytan people.
