Minor Council

The Minor Council attempts to enact and enforce the will of the collective Major Council through rapidly-changing laws, announcements, and regulations.

The Minor Council also gives formal judgment on disputes between citizens or corporations. A court hearing may be requested by anyone, but most are ignored. In some cases, a citizen may even face punishment for requesting a court hearing over something deemed particularly petty or suspected of being anti-Council.

​The Minor Council and its attendants also oversee any Council-directed processes and establishments.

The Minor Council is made up of various organizations known as Courts. Many of the Minor Council's tasks can be seen as the public works of Nodd - tending to the city as a whole, rather than the spire itself, as much as necessary to keep it running.

The courts are sections of the Council Spire, and usually refer to the buildings through which citizens can access related services.

​Court of Analysis

Responsible for exploring and documenting the world and its magic.

Court of Architecture

Responsible for anything related to buildings, including housing. Organizes and enacts The Pruning.

Court of Ceremony

Responsible for any Council-organized events and ceremonies.

Court of Discipline

Deals with anything relating Nodd's legal system.

Court of Induction

Ushers new citizens into the city and provides them with a brief invasive probing, both physical and mental, as well as an orientation seminar explaining the workings of Nodd. Their job has become much more interesting since the arrival of outsiders, as previously there were relatively few non-citizens who wished to enter the city and become a citizen. Often, a mage from the Court of Analysis will be on site, standing by to document new outsider species.

Court of Information

Responsible for all the Council’s bookkeeping. Contains information on all citizens, organizations, magic use, and almost everything else.

Court of Medicine

The Council's hospital.

Court of Resurrection

Responsible for reviving citizens.

Court of Sanitation

Responsible for keeping the city streets free of corpses and garbage - at least enough to allow passage.
