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 to Nodd's legal system.
Court of Induction
Originally part of the Court of Analysis this court was branched off into its own entity as outsiders began arriving in larger numbers. The novelty and perceived importance of this happenstance, as well as the number of creatures needing induction, necessitated this shift. Prior to outsiders only those who were born outside the city and found their way to it would be inducted by what was then still part of the Court of Analysis.
The court 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. Often, a mage from the Court of Analysis will be on site, standing by to document new outsider species with particular interest.
Court of Information
Responsible for all the Council’s bookkeeping. Contains information on all citizens, organizations, magic use, and almost everything else. This court also was where the arcanet technically began before Omnillian technology and ego bracers made it widespread and easily accessible by every citizen.
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. The court has two major headquarters - one in the Council District and the other in The Omasum.
