The Council of Seven, also known periodically as the League of Seven, are the magically assigned leaders of the seven races which were considered the most intelligent at the time of the formation of the Council, with influence stretching across the entire series despite periods of inactivity.

Background

The Council of Seven is a unified council made up of magically-chosen representatives from each of the eight races created by the seven gods, minus the demon race; humans, dwarves, elves, lizards, imps, orcs and wizards. Although wizards are not in themselves a race, as their members come from those of the other races, the Council of Seven was so called as it "was easier to say than the 'council of six races and mishmash of magic users'".

Although the origins of the Council's first formation cannot be confirmed, it has been in existence since Anno Rivellonis, as the party forming the Order of the Source Hunters. They were next recorded in existence in 611 AD as the League of Seven, with Ruben Ferol, the wizard leader, taking the lead during Chaos' assault on Rivertown and Stormfist Castle. At that time Dylan Ferol was council member of the humans, Jemthorn of the elves, Ulf Twohut of the dwarves, Grondtha of the lizards, Zakx of the imps and Go-Dar of the orcs. This council sacrificed their lives to seal Chaos back into hell. Ralph succeeded Ruben as the leader of the wizards, although already in constant battle with the Sword of Lies for control over his mind. The replacement council members for the other six races are not recorded, and the only other recorded member from the 7th century is Zandalor, however it is not known if he immediately replaced Ralph or there was another wizard member before him.

The council itself wasn't reformed after the passing of the members of the last council in the mid to late 600's, making Zandalor the only remaining living member of the Council in 1218 AD. Council members themselves are appointed through the magic of the scrying stones in the Council of the Seven, seated within the Tanoroth mountain range. During the reformation to prevent the resurrection of Chaos in 1218 AD, Mardaneus was appointed for the humans, Bronthion D'Anthalis for the elves, Antx for the imps, Kroxy for the orcs, Goemoe for the lizards and Eolus Thunderstorm for the dwarves. During Lucian's ascension to Divinity, Janus Ferol struck at the Council's meeting place and eliminated all but Kroxy, who played dead and Zandalor, who was rescued by Arhu. Since Lucian's ascension, there has been no record of a further formation of the Council.
