Council of Seacliff

The Council of Seacliff was the governing body for Seacliff Castle, and was traditonally headed by the Lord of Seacliff Castle. There were only nine members of the council serving at a time, but it is unclear how members are chosen/elected. Seats were usually given to the commander of the Knights of Seacliff, the Head Magi of Seacliff Circle of Magi, and the lord of the castle. Those that were of noble birth usually found themselves on the council, but it was not completely uncommon for a commoner to be elected.

Overview
One term on the council was six years, with no limit on how many times you could be re-elected. Those who had more experience and who had served more years on the council, usually held more power. Held every fortnight in the Conference Chamber of Seacliff Castle, the council usually discussed minor issues that were not noteworthy. On rare occasions, the council acted as a judicial like entity, but that was rare and usually just handled by the lord himself.
