The Council of Anchorage are appointed officials representing different aspects of Imperial interest: civil unity, military stratagem, research and development, magical pursuits, commerce, and religious affairs. They collectively report to Emperor Curidros Eridia or his delegate.

Their base of operations is Fort Eridia in Targosa and each have assigned rooms and studies.

## Known Members

### Civil Unity - Viceroy Ambrose

The leader of the Council, the Viceroy is an eccentric figurehead of the Imperium and its interests. There to greet all newcomers to Anchorage, he instills hope and inspiration to his working class citizens. Primarily seen in Fort Eridia, he tends to address the population on a monthly basis in the Commons. He is seen working closely with Scribe Declan and refers to him for most matters.

Public opinion of him is still undetermined.

### Magical Pursuits - Master Dorrangray

A wizard and scholar of Imperial renown, Master Dorrangray is a generous and fatherly figure for many young students within his academy. A bookworm by all means, he had already been an accomplished professor and prolific writer prior to him accepting this position within the Council.

Not known to be a fighter, but his magical expertise is unquestionable.

Public opinion of him is favorable, belief that his interests align with the general populace.

### Commerce - Baron Poe Vilstigen

The pompous and arrogant master of coin, the Baron's reputation of voracity and greed precedes him. The Vilstigen Family is well known throughout the world and has the ear of the Emperor himself. Despite this, the Baron had made a name for himself through the revival of the avulum and residuum industry, acquisition of several trading companies, and the development of the Imperium-wide monorail network. His face is plastered onto advertisements and posters in every city and he has his fingers in hundreds of different enterprises. His next venture is on Targosa and to expand the Vilstigen family influence to new lands.

He is often not seen without his two bodyguards: Pawnbrook and Shilling. He is also known to employ other underlings.

Public opinion of him is unfavourable towards the working class, respected by aristocrats, and beloved by his family. Union-busting tendencies, enjoys to line his own pockets at any opportunity, and is not afraid to let his subordinates get their hands dirty to better his own position.

##### Rumors

* Highly manipulative despite his appearance. Is always willing to cut a deal, but has yet to not come out on top.
* His bodyguards are of very similar build and appearance to the other elite guardsman seen accompanying his siblings, thoughts that they may be artificial, like a golem.

### Religious Affairs - Bishop Kopilger

The pious and reverent Bishop of Anchorage, Kopilger has served many years as an acolyte and cleric of the Church of the Six. She feverishly works to better the standing of the Church as a way to give back to the institution that had saved her life. Whether this is literally or figuratively, it is not known.

Public opinion of her is indifferent, she is pleasant enough but people may have issues with her 'zealotry'
