'''The Council''' is the name for the regovernmental leadership of the human-branded organized country of the [[Council Lands]], which occupies the majority of the [[Alharth]] continent.  === Known Members ===* [[Jarmanger]] (Leader of The Council and Savior of Humanity)* [[Councilwoman Irasce]] became a member during the time of [[The Council of Eight]]. It is unknown if she is still a member.=== History of The Council ===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 [[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. At one point in the past, The Council was located at a place called [[Ema]].
