The Living Council is the group of ministers that help the High King make decisions.
Purpose[]
The Living Council was assembled during High King Eldred's time to help him make decisions. It has calcified into a group difficult to oppose. The individual ministers don't have raw power, although many are formidable, as a collective it has the authority to make many smaller decisions regarding the running of the kingdom. The kind of small decisions that, taken together, could put even a king in a bind.
The Council is skeptical of King Cardan's youth and confused by Queen Jude's rise to power. They believed Jude to be a weak and silly appointee of a weak and silly king until learning just how dangerous she was while Cardan was under the curse.
