The Council of Six

The Council of Six is made up of representatives from each of the six territories that make up the realm of Elucia. They convene to pass judgement and solve issues that affect the realm itself, and are the seat of power of Alescia.

## Members of the Council

### Elebren Xanvoril

The representative of the Elven territory of Viorwood. Elebren Xanvoril is the eldest of the council and has served on it since it's inception at the Crystal Accords. Eleben brings immeasurable wisdom to the council's preceedings, and often serves as the main voice in its dealings with the public. Though no official position exists as such, the other members of the council defer to him as their leader and allow him to dictate the procedure of council meetings and judgements. Elebren also holds a position within the Elven High Council, but does not lead either the High Elves or the Wood Elves directly.

### Gregar Stormbrow

Gregar is a stern and harsh man, with an extensive military background. He holds both a seat on the council as well as being the leader of the dwarves, and thus splits his time in between Alescia and Fjallgrad, representing the interest of all dwarfkind in both. Gregar sees his role in the council as an opportunity to advocate for a strong defense of the realm as a whole, against threats internal or external, and often only involves himself in extended deliberation with his fellow council-members when these issues arise.

### Tobrin Shadeglory

The representative of the human realm of Eldvale on the council. The humans frequently rotate their representation with democratically elected representatives in the hopes that the power granted by this position does not corrupt that member. As such Tobrin has served on the council for the least amount of time, but brings fresh perspective to many issues. In most issues he advocates for a peaceful approach, but his was one of the votes to convict the party for the Desecration of Abbington.

### Horrich Willighig

Representative of the Gnomes of the Barren Expanse, Horrich busies himself with all manner of technological pursuits, and uses his position on the council to involve himself heavily in the development and distribution of technology brought about by geomancy. Horrich can often seem distracted and inattentive when the council is deliberating on matters that do not pertain such topics that interest, but nevertheless is an invaluable addition to debate due to his blistering intellect.

### Surdil Palat

The representative from Axe Head Bay is an unusual case. Axe Bay is primarily composed of Orcs, who live a seafaring life on their massive floating city-ships. An Orc sat on the Council at its inception, but soon grew weary of the beaurocracy, pomp and circumstance involved, yearning for the freedom that only the sea can bring. As such he was the first council member to give up his seat, and an Orc is rarely seen sitting on the council. In their stead, the Tortles of the Bay represent the interests of the territory, mostly concerning themselves with trade between the territories, ensuring their place in the economy of the realm. Surdil is calming influence to some of the more incendiary personalities of the council, and though she rarely speaks her slow-moving wisdom often is able to curtail an argument before it ignites.

### Thynerius Levistas

Little is known about Thynerius Levistas, especially compared with the other members of the council. The Venerated Republic of Minor Races (or VROM) has several representatives, usually fluctuating between three and five, from each of the races who call the territory home. Due to their fragmented nature, not much is known about the process of becoming one of these representatives, nor which will be appearing when the Council makes an appearance. Thynerius is a Tiefling, and most often appears when the Council involves itself with the occult or criminal activity. He often provides a calm and measured presence to deliberations, and often can provide a sympathetic voice for those who come before the council.

## Former Members

### Ketorolac Ondansetron

Ketorolac is the grandfather of Xophren Ondansetron, and served for many years representing Eldvale on the council. He is still very well regarded by the current council members, though his tenure only overlapped with Elebren and Horrich. He was regarded as a wise and fair councilor, and served several terms before choosing to retire to the druidic circle in Alescia. He is a powerful practitioner of nature magic, and as thus has lived beyond the natural lifespan of a non-magical human. His love for Tieflings caused some controversy amongst his fellow humans, and may have contributed to his decision not to return to Eldvale after leaving the council. He has nothing but love for his horned purple children and grandchildren, and is proud to see them making a name for themselves in the realm.
