:The Council Lands were created in Alharth after a group of thirteen wizards known as [[The Council of Thirteen" ]] conquered the region over a thousand years ago. After displacing most of the native populations into neighboring countries through various wars, the Council Lands experienced centuries of peace. At some point during this time, [[Dissenting Five|five members ]] of "[[The Council of Thirteen" ]] were banished from Alharth and the Council Lands. "the [[The Council of Thirteen" ]] renamed itself "[[The Council of Eight]]."

:Throughout One hundred and three years, "[[The Council of Eight" ]] thrived and occasionally replaced members. After [[Torsager the Regent ]] retired, the Council chose to end recruitment of replacement members. "[[The Council of Eight" ]] became "[[The Council of Five]]."

:In recent times, "[[The Council of Five" ]] renamed themselves "[[The Council]]." Four members of the Council remain, although conflicting material suggests at least one former Council member is still alive. While the surviving wizards live in seclusion in the city of [[Statehelm]], the Council Lands have thrived under the control of local leaders.

: At one point in the past, The Council was located at a place called [[Ema]]. <ref> Painting of Ema </ref>
