Lorekeeper

Many mages claim that the Lorekeeper is the practical center around which the cabal turns; after all, it’s the Lorekeeper’s responsibility to ensure mages keep to the cabal’s Protocols. Lorekeepers also embody the living history of the cabal, which has earned them the nickname of cabal “Head.”

Lorekeepers are also responsible for the library of the cabal (however small or big). They make sure that the library’s stores of information are available when needed and not locked up in some individual’s lab.

Some Heads literally are the library, using spells to seal information inside themselves (see “Living Library,” below). This technique is often found among Shamans, and they argue that certain spells and concepts cannot be written down — a living soul must be used to contain it.

Obviously, the Lorekeeper’s position appeals deeply to members of the Mysterium, especially those who follow the Mastigos Path. Mind and Space Arcana can be powerful allies when you want to keep rotes and potent tomes safe.
