Council of the 7

"The Council of the 7" is a powerful governing body that holds absolute control over the law and religious practices in the city of Felious. Comprising seven influential individuals, the Council functions as the ultimate authority in matters of governance, justice, and spirituality. The name "The Council of the 7" is derived from the seven moons that adorned the celestial's home world, serving as a symbol of the Council's unity and power. The seven moons that once adorned their planet serve as a powerful symbol of unity, strength, and cosmic influence. By adopting this name, the Council seeks to embody these qualities and cement their authority over Felious. The connection to the celestial's home world also emphasizes the Council's connection to the divine or otherworldly forces, enhancing their perceived legitimacy and elevating their status among the people.
The Council's primary role is to enforce and interpret the laws of Felious. They establish a comprehensive legal framework that governs the conduct of the inhabitants and ensures the maintenance of order within the realm. Any individual who violates these laws is subjected to the Council's judgment. Once caught, the lawbreakers are apprehended and brought before the Council to face the consequences of their actions. The fate of those who are found guilty rests solely in the hands of the Council. The Council members possess the authority to determine the appropriate punishment for each offense. In cases where the transgression is severe, the Council may sentence the offender to death. Such grand spectacles, where the convicted individual meets their fate, are organized to showcase the power and authority of the Council before the citizens of Felious. These public executions serve as a grim reminder of the consequences that befall those who dare to challenge the Council's rule.
Aside from their role in enforcing the law, the Council also holds sway over the religious practices in Felious. They control the only sanctioned religion in the city, overseeing its doctrines, rituals, and belief systems. The Council's religious authority grants them immense influence and control over the spiritual lives of the people. They have the power to shape the religious narratives, dictate the worship practices, and ensure the adherence to their established doctrines.
