A single term in the council runs for five years. The council is responsible for appointing magistrates, arguing the law, along with interpreting and setting into practice the tenets of the Horizon's constitution, otherwise known as "The Longform Decree."

Every year the Council of the Horizon appoints a single member as it's public spokesperson. This position is known as "Speaker of the Council."
