A Councillor is Taken Down a Peg

Life, Failure / Mishap

By 1645 SC, The Plumed had established themselves as the rightful leaders (according to them), on the basis of their powerful divine magics, which they had practiced since birth. They formed a council, which was generally respected by the rest of Mumblemack. However some of these Plumed allowed their arrogance to dominate them. Lady Dualla Fetsiver De Cael was one of the councillors who had no real respect for anyone outside The Plumed. She particularly felt that The Circle of the Jewelled Wing were foolish for nuturing their magical bird companions, who she felt had no relation to Gemogha of the Graced Feathers, and who were just taking advantage of the extra food.   These druids grew fed up with her dismissive treatment and disrespect and negotiated with several families of the cliff-nesting birds, who began to follow her, defecate on her, and sit on her hut and caw continuously. After a week of this, and of being laughed at by other members of the settlement, her pride broke and she begged forgiveness. The birds left her alone, but she resigned from the council and was far more subdued in her work. This led to other members of The Plumed becoming more cautious in how they treated the rest of the community, and they were a little more willing to share power, at least with The Scattergrace.
