Their Greatest Contribution

“

Emet-Selch appears to be deep in thought.

— In-game description

Emet-Selch

Not that I or anyone else would be able to make use of it even if we knew... But it irks me to discover that there is an entirely different form of energy -- and no one told me.
That personal annoyance aside, Hermes's' knowledge is undeniably impressive. Given that there are none among the Fourteen who specialize in the celestial, he would be a welcome edition.
Assuming he can be persuaded to join, that is. I still can't understand his hesitation...

"Why did you join the convocation?"

Hytlodaeus

Oho, you wish to know why Emet-Selch was chosen for the Convocation? I should be glad to share the tale!
Ahem. It began when...

Emet-Selch

Not. Another Word.
Lest you've forgotten, we're here to learn about Hermes. Not me. My misspent youth is not your concern.

Talking to Emet-Selch right after picking up the quest.

"I want to learn about the Convocation"

Emet-Selch

Hmmm... If you would accompany us, I suppose you should at least now that much.
The Convocation of Fourteen is a governing body that determines myriad policies. Our goal is to ensure that all is right in creation, that our star may know a brighter future.
As the name suggests, the council is comprised of fourteen offices, each of which is heald by an individual chosen for their surpassing abilities.
Depending on the office, one is required to either be an authority in a certain field, or possess skills that would facilitate the performance of their stipulated duties.
The former category includes Mitron, specialist in aquatic life; Loghrif, specialist in terrestrial life and husbandry...
Halmarut, specialist in fungal and plant life; Emmerololth, specialist in medicine and healing...
And Lahabrea, specialist in creation magicks, who has brought forth phantom beings of the highest complexity.
As for the latter category, there is Altima, advocate of the arts; Igeyorhm, champion of enlightenment and rhetoric; Pashtarot, preserver of discipline and order...
Emet-Selch, keeper of the aetherial realm─or “Underworld” in the vernacular; Fandaniel, pursuer of extant phenomena...
And Azem, traveler of the world and counselor to the people.
...What? Should I be revealing such details to you? Don't be silly. Even children know this much, and you would do well to remember it all.
