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 to The Underchambers, public punishment, and execution. All Council Pawns and Knights inherently belong to the Court of Discipline.

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.
