The Small Council

The small council chamber flanked by a pair of Valyrian sphinxes.

The **Small Council** is a small group of advisers which advises the King of the Seven Kingdoms on matters of policy and their areas of expertise. Aegon I Targaryen relied on councillors after being crowned, but it was not until the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen that the small council was formalized.

The council is headed by the king, the only one who can make the council's decisions into law. In his absence the role falls to the Hand of the King or the regent if the king is too young.

The council members are appointed and dismissed by the king as he wills, a right freely used during times of war and strife. However, it seems that traditionally the council consists of seven permanent members, after the Andal traditions and the Faith of the Seven, with reserved positions for:

* Hand of the King
* Lord Commander of the Kingsguard
* Master of Coin - head of the treasury and finances of the kingdom.
* Master of Laws - oversees law and justice for the kingdom.
* Master of Whisperers - the spymaster, and the head of intelligence.
* Master of Ships - oversees the navy.
* Grand Maester - head adviser on matters of lore and wisdom.

Although a council seems to always have these seven members, it may include additional members as advisors.
