Chosen
Okay, this will need some fact checking before we have an edit war. You say the title is "Grand Cabal of the Enclave", but a "cabal" is a type of organisation, it is not a title for a person. Please re-check this, and perhaps provide a small quote.

And the so-called "Chosen" status. "Chosen" is a very specific status, and generally there is only one per deity, except for Mystra's dozen or so. It used to only be a Mystran thing. Unfortunately, 3rd and 4th editions started making everyone and their dog a Chosen of someone. Also, "chosen" is a common phrase applied to lots of other things that are not necessarily "Chosen". The Emerald Enclave as a whole are called "the Chosen of Silvanus", but that does not make any member a proper Chosen.

English is a vast language, but D&D authors and designers have small vocabularies. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:46, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Myself don't want a edit war, the Grand Cabal title I casually found in the wiki page about Emerald Enclave, I no have more info so be free to delete eventually. Chosen status, from what I read of the book the three leaders of Emerald Enclave were considered together the Chosen of Silvanus. Plus I too know that with the sundering there are a proliferation of Chosen in Faerun. Unfotunally I had no clear answer (and so I cancel their chosen category). It need more analysis about, I now not have time for this, hope not did damage, bye — 93.39.230.146 (talk) 13:02, October 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for getting back to me. BTW, please make an account so we know who you are. :)
 * Hmm, someone added a lot of unsourced lore to the Emerald Enclave article. Generally, if you're not sure of the source of some information, it's best not to repeat it.
 * I'll remove the Chosen status from these three people, as the term "Chosen of Silvanus" is a rather ambiguous title in the case of the Emerald Enclave, given 2e lore. That can stand until someone can clarify the matter or find more evidence. — BadCatMan (talk) 12:15, October 2, 2015 (UTC)


 * Welp, turns out it really is her title, dating back to 2nd edition. I've restored the title. Still a rubbish name though. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:04, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
