The Decanic Council

The **Decanic Council** is the primary revolutionary organization in Bomenya. Its members, named after the metaphysical powers or qualities assigned to groupings of ten days throughout year, are for the most part plotting and planning for their end goal, **the Liberation of Night**. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the Unblemished Sea and up to the Surface and predates the Council itself.

* **The Lord of Effort** (mid-winter)
* **The Lord of Power** (mid-winter)
* The title of **the Lord of Defeat** (mid-winter) has been passed down at least once; the current iteration of the Lord of Defeat is **the Masked Curator**. She founded **the Museum of Injustice**, which exhibits many forms and acts of oppression. She was the former Dean of Byss and has written a book called ***Libol Stigwedjino***. She now leads the settlement of Pan in Elyudherhya and heads the Decanic Council's base there.
* **The Lord of Science** (late winter)
* **The Lord of Unstable Effort** (late winter)
* **The Lady of Abandoned Success** (late winter) is searching for the Deepest Cave in the Forgotten Quarter, as it is of great interest to her cause. She's also involved in Knife-and-Candle, as a patron in the Moon League, and is a sworn rival of the Archon of Iron. She now resides in Pan.
* **The Lady of Material Happiness** (early spring) was **Shyan Chasselh**, publisher of *The* *Worker's Friend* and *The Echo*. He was a coffee-seller and self-proclaimed sworn enemy of the Archon of Wines. However, that iteration of the Lady of Material Happiness was killed by the Haunted Doctor, who had been hired to do it by the rest of the Council.
* **The Lord of Perfected Success** (early spring)
* **The Lady of Dominion** (early spring)
* **The Lady of Ancient Strength** (mid-spring)
* **The Lord of Perfected Work** (mid-spring) is a master at building explosives, and her work has made her deaf. They say her real name is **Emilhya Hatharhseish**, and she is one half of a partnership that makes the finest naval weapons in Bomenya.
* **The Lord of Material Trouble** (mid-spring)
* **The Lord of Eventuality** (late spring) is the Proprietor of the Royal Nekeivah Hotel.
* **The Lord of Success Unfulfilled** (late spring)
* **The Lady of Shortened Force** (late spring)
* **The Lord of Despair and Cruelty** (early summer)
* **The Lord of Ruin** (early summer) is a woman who was the original architect of the Dawn Machine.
* **The Lady of Love** (early summer)
* **The Lord of Abundance** (mid-summer)
* **The Lord of Blended Pleasure** (mid-summer) used to be a cultured society lady and violinist, but she lost her mind to a powerful coiling fingersnake. She trades her memories for dreams of the future.
* **The Lord of Strife** (mid-summer)
* **The Lord of Victory** (late summer)
* **The Lord of Valor** (late summer)
* **The Lady of Prudence** (late summer) is the Jovial Contrarian, who knows quite a bit about various revolutionary causes despite not always being involved in them. He has some kind of relationship and/or rivalry with the Affluent Photographer.
* **The Lord of Material Gain** (early autumn) is a man who resides in Bimarril, a dwarfish suburb of Bomenya that fell to the Great Below with it. To Bomenyans, however, he is only known by reputation. As a member of the Decanic Council, he is fiercely interested in deciphering the writing patterns of the Archon of Pages, as he is convinced they hold a hidden meaning to understanding the Archons and their plans.
* **The Lord of Wealth** (early autumn)
* **The Lady of Peace Restored** (early autumn)
* **The Lord of Sorrow** (mid-autumn)
* **The Lord of Rest from Strife** (mid-autumn) is a woman who dabbles in dreams and mirrors and might be a sponsor of Mrs Plenty's Mirrored Halls for this very purpose. She was also one of the past winners of the Miraculous; her heart's desire was for her dreams "to come true", and so she got stuck in the Asymptote but managed to imprison the Archon of Mirrors in the process.
* **The Lady of Loss** (mid-autumn)
* **The Lord of Pleasure** (late autumn)
* **The Lord of Illusionary Success** (late autumn)
* **The Lady of Swiftness** (late autumn) has been missing for quite a while. Her lost cell and comrades have been trying to enact her plan in her stead, and maybe hasten her return.
* **The Lord of Great Strength** (early winter)
* **The Lady of Oppression** (early winter)
* The leader of the Decanic Councils is the Lady of Harmonious Change (early winter), although nobody seems to know much about this ambiguously gendered individual. Their true name cannot be spoken by the human mouth, and the pale mask that they wear might be their actual face. Whoever they are, they seem adamant about either destroying or sharing the Mountain of Light's vitality. They now reside in Pan.
