Often simply referred to as "the Council", the Major Council is comprised of the Unseen Ones and the six citygods.

Very little is publicly known about exactly what sort of interaction and role each of these play in council business and the running of the city. The major council is made up of the citygods and The Unseen Ones - a small group of anonymous figures who deal directly with the citygods. These unknown entities convey the collective will of the citygods to the minor council for enforcement.

Each citygod is an ancient and corrupted cityspeaker, considered the most powerful in their aspect of magic. Each also has a following - called a house - as a source of belief to sustain power.

There is also a Minor Council which is generally referred to by its full name to distinguish from "The Council".
