When the Guide is satisfied that their student is ready, they are given a full license and their first destination. This ends the Order’s direct interference in their travels and duties, as it is on the Dream Consort to find their own path. From there the Dream Consort is expected to find their own business, set their own prices, and make sure to pay certain amount of their income. In return the Order provides help to those faithful, as well as cover any medical costs that might occur, and the continued use of the Order name which holds great weight within the Vigil. | When the Guide is satisfied that their student is ready, they are given a full license and their first destination.

Those that have deeply disrespected a Dream Consort or the Order, those that have hacked the internal network and breached the privacy of the Order, or those Dream Consorts that have heavily neglected in their duties receive a Black Mark in the Dream Consort network. This means the Order will no longer conduct business with that person, or aid them in any way shape or form. Black Marks are not given for light reasons, and go through heavy review before they are applied. Repeals are only given to truly unique and outstanding circumstances. | Those that have deeply disrespected a Dream Consort or the Order, those that have hacked the internal network and breached the privacy of the Order, or those Dream Consorts that have heavily neglected in their duties receive a Black Mark in the Dream Consort network.

Where Dream Consorts go, they must take it upon themselves to aid in those that seek help in spiritually healing. As the Dream Consorts are wanderers with few Schools dedicated to their Order, they tend not to stay in one place for too long. Often when they have felt they can help all they can, they move on to the next destination. Whether this is found in their dreams, or they are reached out to by another Consort, varies from case to case. | Where Dream Consorts go, they must take it upon themselves to aid in those that seek help in spiritually healing.

While others may practice it outside of the Order, Dream Consorts have had years of practice honing their body, mind, and soul to be able to perform it at its peak. A Dream Consort can perform this meditation with as many as they feel they can handle at one time while still maintaining their duty, however, it is rare to have more than two clients at a time. |
It should be warned that interrupting Ahni Meditation midway through, or purposefully keeping a Consort from their appointment is heavily frowned upon by the Order. While a Black Mark will not be given, word will be sure to spread of the misdeeds conducted. | It should be warned that interrupting Ahni Meditation midway through, or purposefully keeping a Consort from their appointment is heavily frowned upon by the Order.

Dream Consorts are taught at the beginning of their training with their Guide, to love their body. That their body is a gift and the single object that cannot be taken or stole from them. It is through this that some Dream Consorts take it a step further and choose to be nude wherever they go, only to don on clothing should the environment call for it. If a Dream Consort should have to put on clothing to protect against the weather, or to be more presentable to the company that they are meeting, then it is normally bright, flavorful clothing that matches their skin, eyes, hair, and/or horns that they choose. However, exceptions are often made in this department as there is no official uniform for the Dream Consorts. | Dream Consorts are taught at the beginning of their training with their Guide, to love their body.
