It has come to my attention that people have posted in this guild, asking to become a Wizard, and did not understand why they were turned down.
As of now, all the positions in the Council are filled; we are not looking for anymore Wizards.
The Council is made up of six Wizards:
Mithrandir the White is the leader and head of the Council
Talierin is the White Wizard of the Green
Kementari is the White Wizard of the Red
Elessar is the White Wizard of the Grey
Eomer Dinmention is the White Wizard of the Silver
Aerin is the White Wizard of the Blue.
If you wish to see a list of the different powers associated with each colour, please look at Mithrandir's thread here. (http://www.thetolkienforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=3137)
The powers the Wizards have are not like the flashy special effects you see in movies; no Harry Potter-type wand waving or mystical chanting that ends in huge explosions with a dazzling display lighting the night sky. The magic we use is much more subtle, and it is not limitless.
We do not consider ourselves an elite group, as has been suggested before; rather, it is a necessity to keep the Wizard Council small. Not too long ago, we encouraged others to join under the White Wizards, in effect, become more like the other guilds that exist on TTF. We found that with what would have been a total of 55 Wizards running around on TTF, RPGs would not run as well (those who were in the guild were constantly seeing who had the biggest and best pyrotechnics or what-have-you in battles), and the boundaries that Mithrandir had set for the powers of the Wizards were constantly being overstepped. Therefore, we decided to reduce the guild to only the White Wizards (who had been Wizards since the guild was started) and leave it at that.
I hope this will clear up any questions about the White Council. If you still have questions, feel free to Private Message me. :)
