Dragon Eye Hall
Dragon Eye Hall has stood for as long as any records among the Awakened suggest they might have. Their earliest mention is part of the Consilium's Accords, when the fourth Draco Cruentis named the Watchers of the Dragon's Eye as their spymasters and silent watchmen. For much of the Dark and Middle Ages, the Awakened of Dragon Eye Hall weren't even permitted to dwell in London, as a means of keeping their loyalties to the work of the Hall and not to whomever they might befriend in the Consilium proper. This ended in the early Renaissance, when the Councilors of that time took advantage of a surge in their power over the hierarch to alter that trait, among many others. Today, the old crumbling keep about two hours by train outside of London, still serves the caucus house for the Guardians of London. But make no mistake, the Guardians of this caucus are well-situated in London's consilium.
Dragon Eye Hall maintains connections in the cutting edge of burgeoning intelligence communities that many other Guardians have taken notice of and infiltrated the world over. They are spymasters and secret police par excellence, and they are ever watchful. Rumors say that sometimes members of the Consilium disappear for days at a time when the Guardians have a few questions to ask of them; those that return always claim to have been called out of town on personal business, however, so this remains no more than a rumor (albeit one that most Awakened in London take to be some version of the truth).
Dragon Eye Hall's caucus has a great many old and lingering traditions that demonstrate their pedigree. The spiritual and esoteric aspects of the Guardians are in full bloom here, and a part of its traditions and systems of operations, rather than being restricted to personal endeavors as is often the case with so many younger Guardian caucuses. It is notable that the Guardians of London are not the only Guardians that belong to this caucus: Guardians throughout all of southwestern England are members. Moreover, the Hall also maintains a small population of long-term spies planted in other consilii around the world, and at any given time those mages might arrive here to deliver the results of their missions and prepare for the next one.
Caucus House: Dragon Eye Hall
Dragon Eye Hall • First Floor
A great old house, there is an extensive history of Pemmington House, as this crumbling structure is known among Sleepers, and all of it false. In previous days, the Pemmington family acted as the local gentry when it came to dealing with the locals in the small village (also named Pemmington) below the hills on which the great house is situated. In truth, this family is a bloodline of proximi, magic-wielding hereditary Sleepwalkers in service to the Guardians of the Veil.
By and large, the great house remains unoccupied, save by the Pemmington clan, and one or two Guardians at any given time. The Order sees no need to protect it, for when no Guardians are in residence, it is an entirely ordinary structure, without any magics, or Awakened treasures, that need guarding. Members of the caucus are always guaranteed a bed and meals should they require them for any length of time. Indeed, it is not unknown for Guardians who are abandoning one long-term Masque to come here for a few months in order to scour that cover life entirely before returning to London in a new identity, ready for continued service to the London Consilium.
