: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 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 Torsagar 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.
