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, 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.
