The council of The Nine

Their membership is largely secret and they are the hidden law-keepers and makers of Theros. They maintain their identities behind magical masks and enchantment, none know the true identities of any of them. The subject of who are on the council is a common topic of noble conversation, and some consider it a game to discover their identity, a game made more confusing by the fact the Nine themselves set their own rumors afloat. What is known is that each member of the nine are appointed from each of the nine nations of Theros and they concern themselves only with the creation, dissemination, and enforcement of the broader laws that pertain to the entire land of theros. Each of the nine serves for one year, at which time they are either replaced or remain as a member of the council. Since their identities are kept secret even from the other eight know one is sure when or if a member has been replaced.
Some speculate that the council is located on an island that it to the southeast of the land of Amphrym that many have named Melnos which is a portmanteau of the gods of Mesha and Kelnos, Justice and Law respectively.
