The Council of Nine are an organization of powerful spellcasters who most agree are central to the control and stability of the entire world of Otan.  They certainly possess a powerful influence in [[Ortalyk]], where their apparent principal headquarters reside, the [[Towers of Eriquat]]. 

== Membership ==
As the name suggests, there are nine principal members of the council, however six of them are shrouded in secret.  The three human spellcasters who's exploits are known throughout the world.  The three known principals are:

* [[Shardenzar]], a sorcerer and the apparent Grand Vizier of the Nine
* [[Nickar]], a wizard of global renown
* [[Zoranthar]], a warlock of legendary infamy

== History ==
Before the creation of the council, several wars had raged in Otan, with [[Nickar]] and [[Zoranthar]] on opposite sides of the conflict.  Regardless of the intent of either side, the constant state of war threatened to bring extinction to all of Otan.  It was [[Shardenzar]] who intervened to bring about the [[Concord of Kala Astanals]], in which [[Nickar]], [[Zoranthar]] and leaders of the major races of Otan agreed to cease all major conflict.
