Inner Council

The Inner Council is the Imperial Cabinet of the Casorian Empire, traditionally the senior members of the Imperial Family, the positions were given to civil servants and members of the military based on the Emperor's views on their work. The Council's original purpose was to see the Sovereign's Ring reach the next of kin of the ruling Emperor, however after the crisis that occured during the succcession of Emperor Henry-Joseph VIII the practise has become null and void. As of his ascension the Council has become singularly the ruling body of officials for the Empire.
