Community:Council of ZU

The ZU Council of United Wise Men (UWM) (not to be confused with the BA Council) is a coalition of timeline theorist operating out of ZU's theories form.

The 1st Congress of United Wise Men
The First Congress was founded by LOZ Historian over the summer of '06 in a response to the growing popularity of the so-called Split Timeline. At first, the coalition consisted of himself, silver arrow, Master of ALttP, ZeldaGamer21 (now known as Sentient), HeroOfTime5, and the newbie timeline theorist LionHarted (now known as LexLionHart or Lex). This ragtag bunch of theorists gathered together to formulate evidence for what is now called the United Wise Men's timeline, and their theories have stood, relatively unchanged in terms of game order, until the announcement confirming the Split Timeline. Since the group's inception, they have also recruited a theorist who calls himself Dark Link, and have established a group of junior theorists called the Hylian Knights.

The 2nd Congress of United Wise Men
Due to the sudden retirement of the group's founder LOZ Historian, Lex was promoted as the leader of the group. A new theorist known as Raian was called in to fill the open position in the United "Seven" Wise Men. Prior to this Raian had been in charge of the UWM sub group The Hylian Knights. However, recently Lex decided to cut down his time devoted to ZU. His banner was given to Daphnes, who was a Hylian Knight, and is now a Wise Man, and LOZ Historian reassumed the leadership position to fill the void left by Lex. Dark Link had gone inactive from timeline debating and his banner disappeared. Vaati received his. All the other Wise Men still hold their banners and make their daily visits to the Timeline Section. With Raian now a Wise Man, Uncle Meat has become the leader of the Knights. However, there is a new Constitution by LOZ Historian up, that states that for every 10 Hylian Knights, there will be a new "Chief Knight" to help maintain control. Lex announced that he will resume work with the Wise Men on a minimal level as an Executive Assistant and returned briefly to ZU before electing again to return to his temporary ZU/IM hiatus for personal reasons. At the moment he is not sure when he will resume regular activity at ZU.

In the wake of recent timeline revelations, the course of the Wise Men's activity is sure to change drastically, along with a massive overhaul of hierarchy. Whether or not LOZ Historian elects to remain active is in question. Lex has drifted toward a marginally more neutral position, and most of the rest of the Wise Men and Knights have elected to follow a New Child Story Theory.
