Council of the Gods

The Council of Gods is a gathering of powerful deities that are dedicated to maintaining balance throughout the realms. They are among the most powerful of entities in the multiverse, and their decisions have far-reaching consequence. They are not the only gods in existence, but they are the most well-known to the average mortal.
There are thirteen council seats, corresponding with each month of the year. Meyrin and Yumia share their seat and their month, their convergence marking the beginning of the new year. The process by which the council acts is not discussed with mortals, though over the centuries it has been postulated that most decisions are reached by a simple majority vote.
The council is far from an absolute authority over the world- their only interest in mortal affairs as a group is maintaining balance and preventing threats to the multiverse on the scale of events like the Calamity War, and most still resort to using their mortal agents to orchestrate their private agendas.
== Compact ==
The gods are bound by what has been referred to as the Compact. This agreement keeps the gods from acting directly in the world. The intention of the Compact was to keep the balance of the world, ensuring that the greatest evils did not run amuck, while also keeping the peoples of the world in charge of their own fates.
