Investitures Listing

Members of The Fourth Garrideb are assigned Investiture Names based on characters, stories or references found in the 60 adventures of the Canon. Syracusan Members “of the Best Period” and Charter Members “of the Alexandrian School” were allowed to choose their Investiture Names. The charter membership period closed on February 9, 2015, the six month anniversary of the founding of TFG. Members joining The Fourth Garrideb after the charter membership period will be considered “the best of a bad lot” and will have their Investiture Names chosen by our Mycroft, who is willing to listen to suggestions…….

This listing is alphabetical, based on the first letter of the Investiture Name.  Some of these will start with “the” or “a”, so scan this listing carefully.  After the member’s actual name, will be the four letter abbreviation of the story that the Investiture Name is referencing.  If a character appears in more than one story, this abbreviation will be the first story published featuring the character. A listing of the story abbreviations can be found here.
