The council strives to maintain peace among the all the territories and the distant lands of Jedok and Om’Buccar. They have been granted legal authority that exceeds any individual great house, but only for purposes of insuring the lords/ladies adhere to the tenants of the treaties. In all other regards, the territories are left to the governing of the great houses. There are two governing groups (courts) within the council, both of which must separately approve any changes to tenants of the treaties or laws of Kaliteth.

-Members of the noble houses will generally wear their house coat of arms in some form as a display of their social status/rank… most often as a metal medallion worn as a brooch or necklace, but occasionally as a tabard, sash, shoulder insignia. Members of the various orders and large businesses follow similar ptactices.
 Ladies of virtue (nobility, of age, vigin, eligible to wed, etc.) must wear a veil across their face when not in privacy of immediate family; any man removing such a veil is committing an insult to the house nearly as severe as raping a woman.

 Far to the northeast, over the Sea of Tæhör, are the distant lands of '''Jedok''' [je-dok]. The people that live in this cold, icy land are strong warriors and survivors, but otherwise live in very primitive ways. They call themselves the '''Vedir''' [ve-dir] but are known to those in the southwest as “Gothard” [goth-ard] (derived from “goat herders”).

 '''City-States'''<br>
 There are five independent city-states in Kaliteth, each having a unique government and society from that of the rest of Kaliteth. Although holding only very limited amounts of land, the success of these city-states, their influence and power, is primarily due to their long tradition of neutrality, serving all the Great Houses equally in business and little else.

−	*'''High Court''': this division of the council is comprised of one designated representative from each of the great houses.
−	*'''Low Court''': this division of the council is made up of highest ranked members of the order, representing the whole of Kaliteth.
−	Aside from the representatives of the High Court, all individuals who join the council do so as members of a sacred order, each swearing an oath of loyalty to the council and the entirety of Kaliteth, forever relinquishing all allegiance to any single house and all future rights of title and land.
