The High Council of Wylun: What Is Known

 The High Council consists of representatives from all nations that are part of the Wylun Alliance, meeting several times a month in the city of Elektis, the capitol of Rin.

As of Year 1291, the current nations and their representatives are:

Ordinatus Scientia Councilman Master Anodil Shanurethof the Ordo Domitus 

Ordinatus Scientia Councilwoman Master Yeveldah Nyeth of the Ordo Aegis 

High Councilman Lord Tannis Brightburn of Meskaria, High Lord of Meskarian Council

Her Majesty Lord Kierrenn Tieba Lightmarsh, The Queen of Rin

High Councilman Lord Cinder Emberhorne of Reolus

High Councilwoman Dame Yaillin Bannock of Emrik

High Councilwoman Master Forrisahnia Mythohlver of the Merchants Guild

High Councilman Master Uhri Thunakinathi of the Artisans Guild

High Councilman High Cleric Halvren Greyforge of the Temple of Silvus

High Councilwoman Lady Alev Khalyd of Eryphienne

High Councilwoman Lady Santhra Pemma of Halrick

High Councilman Master Engineer Lord Khorrin Henstok of Merrick

High Councilman Lord General Laorin Ironmoor of the Wylun Alliance

High Councilwoman Lord Admiral Atsu Vannari of the Wylun Alliance

High Councilman Lord Master Finneus Drellkin of Osmen

Observer Emissary Antada Mirraz Yasir of Samia, formerly a High Council member, but was removed after Samia swore fealty to the Arkhounian Empire.

The Council Building is basically a giant cathedral; the chamber is huge and oblong, with a giant domed ceiling. Raised podiums/stations around 2/3 of the perimeter for council members; each is walled off and leads to private council chambers and includes space for support staff to move through.

Open floor space decorated with a map of Wylun. This is magical, and can zoom/pan, convert to 3d topographical, displays political or geographical info, and can display changes over time, back to just after Moonfall. This is a recreation of the system in Ophir used by the old Council Of Therash

This open floor is where witnesses and supplicants are called to speak their piece. While the remaning 1/3 is gallery seating for court emissaries, scribes, and influential folks with an interest in the proceedings. The sessions aren’t exactly open to the public, but access isn’t impossible to gain. All the truly sensitive discussions happen behind closed doors, in closed sessions.

The building is guarded to hell and back, after a recent upgrade to security a couple years ago. Weapons are not allowed in the chamber; Ordo Aegis supplements the Elektis Guardsmen. Multiple checkpoints to scan for malicious magics, intruders, weapons, etc.

Each of the council podiums includes speaking stones to ensure all can be heard. Most council members regularly have an assistant or two stationed behind them to provide information or suggestions.
