 The Council also has close ties to the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]].  Where the Council's aims lead mostly toward the future, the BoFK looks to the past.  <strike style="background: black; color: black">Less charitable scholars, however, regard the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] as the place akin to a grazing field where forgotten Council members go when they tire of the Council's relentless pace.</strike>  In any case, these two organizations together drive the leading trends in scholarly research and discovery.
