Welcome everyone to the new offical New York Institute Downworlders Counsil. 

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the first ever meeting of the Downworlders Council. I know us all co-existing has not been easy given our past histories together but still I hope that with this new council formed we can truly learn from one another and make our world a better place. Each of us represent our people to the best of our abilites be us Shadowhunter, Warlock, Vampire, Wearwolf or Seelie... We all have a purpose here. To bring forth the change and unity we so desperatly need for in these trying times we must all stand united. I thank you all for making the journey here and putting your trust in my plan. Together I know we will achieve great things. And may the angel watch over us all. 

Thank you gentelman

Hello my lovlies Magnus here, 

I am pleased to welcome you all along with my pretty boy co-founder to the first ever Downworld Council meeting at the New York Institute. It is with great pride that we started this council as a way for all of us to air our feelings, questions and concerns in a safe envornment where we can discuss them as gentelman without fear of retaliation from others who opse us working together.  Over the many centuries that i've been alive I've never been a part of a collective diverse group working towrds a comon goal. Peace for all. We all have our duties to our people but that being said I agree with Alexander that working together is truly the best way to ensure our survival. I know this will not be easy as we all are very oppinionated...but for the greater good I do believe this will work. I would like to thank my incredibly brilliant daughter Darcey for gracously allowing us to asseble such a fine group of men in this sacred space. I so look forward to working with you all. 

With great love and respect, 

-Magnus Bane High Warlock of Brooklyn
