  The Silent Ones are a guild of mysterious spellcasters who hail from the Sheldomar Valley in the Flanaess.
  They are an eldritch order of ascetics dedicated to uncovering and safeguarding ancient secrets of magic and
  arcane history.  The Silent Ones are nominally servants of the Keoish throne, however, no actual authority
  can be exercised upon them by that crown that is not explicitly given to it by age-old writs.  The Silent Ones
  still enforce certain prohibitions against the use of powerful sorcery in the Kingdom.  (See Living Greyhawk
  Gazetteer, pgs 162-163 or The Living Greyhawk Journal, issue four, pgs. 10-21) The character named below
  is requesting full membership into this order and is currently serving a probationary apprenticeship, lasting a
  total of 52 TUs.
  Instructions to the Player: You are required to have the judge fill out one of these forms for every event in which your
  apprentice character participates.  You must fill out the Player Information, then provide the form to the judge before play
  begins.  You are also responsible for providing the judge with a suitable envelope in which to seal the completed form, and for
  returning the unopened envelope to your Triad.
  Instructions to the Judge: Please fill out the your sections of this form, then seal the form in the envelope provided by the
  player of the apprentice character, and sign across the seal.  Return the envelope to the player.  You are free to discuss the
  character’s play and the evaluation with the player, but should not allow the player to see the completed form.  While a
  completed form is ideal, please fill out as much as time permits, nobody will hunt you down if you do not have time to
  complete the form.  Comments are especially helpful.

  Forbidden Knowledge and Lore
  The aspirant is legally charged by the Keoish throne and by the Silent Ones to secure any “dangerous” knowledge, spells, or scrolls, or
  magic items.  For game purposes, this includes (but is not limited to) any information available on a Knowledge skill check with a DC
  over 25, or an Arcana skill check over 20.  Grounds for confiscation include (but is not limited to) anything that gives a bonus to
  Knowledge (Arcane), Spellcraft, any evil religious artifact, or anything that contains information before the reign of Tavish the first.
  Additionally, spellbooks or scrolls that are of questionable origin, or contain non-standard spells, are to be confiscated.  Additional
  information and instructions may be given in the text of the scenario, but as a rule of thumb, any confiscation that detracts from the
  enjoyment of the overall game for the other players should not be allowed, and the judge has the final say in all matters of confiscation.
