The High Council of the king of Attellaria is a group of appointed people, chosen by the king with input from his other advisors, whose job is to keep an eye on the pulse of the country - financial, military, political, religious, and so on.
This council consists of:
High Councilor Restarl Inglaris
Weatherly Ashton, of the wealthy Ashton family. In early 1165, he was revealed as a Tiamat spy, and will be tried. If found guilty, he will be executed, and his soul trapped and imprisoned in Asgard. It is not currently believed that the entire Ashton family shares his guilt, or that any other members of the family knew of his actions.
Malcolm Pickering, of the wealthy Pickering family
Porter Craig, of the wealthy Craig family
High General Artorion de Rue, commander of the Army
High Priest of Odin Hrafnar
The council has an even number of members, so the king can cast a deciding vote in case of ties.
