• Councillors: Lady Bai leMaistre-Kao, Lord Marik, Lady Safiya, Lord Cyrus, Lord Adoven & Lady Pipre.

Each member of the council is a full lord. Those who control a town take that as part of their title. Those without towns (Adoven, Pipre, Andalon) all hold the title of Lord/Lady of Tusk.

Lesser Nobles, such as Swordlord Yitis and Lord Falke, hold the title of Nobile and are consulted on important matters, although they are not a formal part of the council and do not have a vote. There are quite a few of these minor lords, mostly less successful founding PCs or junior members of the great families.
