So to echo the post on dios, with the chancellor dead and no other leadership present and 2 members, is scion going to be rebuilt from the ashes or dismantled?

I ask because I'd like to roll a scion.

Answer: I (personally) don't know.

My return question: Will you consider your character a failure if you don't get into Scion? If so, I wouldn't roll a Scion.

If you have a cool role in mind, then I submit that you should roll up a character, play your role and if you get into Scion, great. If not, be flexible enough that you could go in a different direction and still enjoy your character.

I know that's not the theory-crafter's cup of tea; many people roll with a specific build in mind. That's the best answer I can give you at the moment.
