Master of the Dying Light
To become a Master of the Dying Light — which should not be confused with the similar title of Master available to all Dragons — a Journeyman must present a Master Thesis to the collective body of Dying Light Masters known as the Twilight Council. The Journeyman must defend her thesis, which will be rigorously questioned and challenged. This is a closed session in order to protect whatever secrets the Journeyman may have uncovered while preparing her thesis, but word of a truly poor defense has a tendency to spread and can mar a Journeyman’s reputation for decades. At this rank, the Sworn has the authority to make overall policy regardingthe scholastic efforts of all Dragons. The political ramifications of this are obvious, as a petulant Master of the Dying Light could ride a junior Dragonwho personally displeased her, forbidding her to pursue those things that she most desires to explore. To stir things up more, she could later permit another, more favored Dragon to undertake the work forbiddenthe previous individual. This kind of activity is certainly frowned upon, but that by no means stops it from happening with frightening regularity.
