Heptarchial Council
The ruling and legislative council of the City of Golotha.
This is an alliance between the cities wealthiest citizens and the powerful temples of Morgath and Agrik. The Morgathian church dominates the Council and has a free reign in its dark activities. Heptarchs are nominated by their respective temple or the merchants guild subject to royal approval.
