The Council of Nine is an organization of powerful spellcasters. The Council was struck to bring about the end of the Grendel War and unite the adversaries Nickar Nurzat and Zoranthar Zhanat to bring about the end of a global conflict. There is little other information about the group is not pure speculation, however, most leaders and administrators who have had contact with the Council contend that the Council of Nine has a appointed itself to maintain control and stability of the entire world of Otan.
The Council certainly possess a powerful influence in Ortalyk, where their apparent principal headquarters reside, the Towers of Eriquat. The construction of the towers were sanctioned and largely paid for the Ortalyk Tzar, Batil Zhurek, who is considered by many to be the founder of the Council, although he is not a member.
Members[edit]
As the name suggests, there are nine principal members of the council, however six of them have been shrouded in secret. Three of the members are well known in Otan. These three are revered and powerful spellcasters, who's exploits are known throughout the world. They are known to be the founders of the group.
The three known human(oid) principals are:
- Shardenzar Sardarbek, a sorcerer and the apparent Grand Vizier of the Nine.
- Nickar Nurzat, a wizard of global renown.
- Zoranthar Zhanat, a warlock of legendary infamy.
The other six members have been shrouded in secretly until very recently and are decidedly non-human. The reason for their inclusion on the council is unknown to anyone save those on the council themselves.
Recent eyewitness accounts from third parties, which have involved various degrees of magical scrying have confirmed that the other six members are indeed non-human, possibly non-Otani member exists.
There are three four-armed members:
- Asa Atimaji, an aquatic version of the so-called Sewochi race, he is a vocal member of the council and the only non human to have taken a liking to human wine. He is rarely scryed without a cup in hand.
- Zenido, a near opposite of his aquatic colleague, this scaly reptilian Sewochi is very reserved with his opinions.
- Kireni Zenibi, with more of a chitinous exoskeleton that his peers, he has a lighter countenance and bearing than his cohorts. He has wings folded onto his back and often makes it clear to his peers and the council that he'd rather be flying than engaged in council politics.
Lastly, there are three insectoid creatures who make up the balance of the council:
- Lw'gn'kho - is a white insectoid creature who dresses in the manner of a humanoid spellcaster.
- a purple insectoid
- a black insectoid
