Entropaean Council Structure

Most Entropaean cities have multiple magical councils.

A typical council is based on one to two magical dimensions, usually including either dark or light. A few example councils include:
 * The Second City Council of Ordered Light (a.k.a the Second City Primary Mage Council), which at one point included Winston, Stella, and Sandoval.
 * The Second City Council of Ordered Darkness (a.k.a the Second City Primary Warlock Council), which has included Adrian, his ex-partner before him, Nora, Winston's elder brother, and Bastion.
 * The Neihgaughkraighe Council of Cold Chaos, which Norm joined after leaving the Second City seat as Nora.

Most councils have three seats. The seats do not indicate a ranking of any kind (though arguably the Leader must deal with more publicity) and are usually taken by personality and preference. They are defined as follows:
 * The First Seat (usually called First Warlock or First Mage), a.k.a The Leader. This position is held by both Winston and his elder brother on their respective councils in Second City.
 * The Second Seat (usually called Second Warlock or Second Mage), a.k.a The Keeper of Spells. This position is held by Adrian and, at first, Stella in Second City, before trading with her brother. It is also held by Norm in Neihgaughkraighe.
 * The Third Seat (usually called Third Warlock or Third Mage), a.k.a The Logistician. This seat is held by Nora and, later, Bastion in Second City. Sandoval starts as Third Mage as well, though his ADHD makes the day-to-day of this particular position extremely difficult. Eventually, he trades with Stella.

Trivia

 * First Seats are usually preferred by idealistic, imaginative, or enterprising persons - or anyone who enjoys leadership and isn't afraid to speak up for themselves and the council as a whole.
 * Second Seats are usually preferred by investigative, creative, or cerebral persons who prefer to work behind the scenes. An excellent memory and a love of reading helps.
 * Third seats are usually preferred by concrete, resourceful, and practical persons who likewise don't mind working behind the scenes. It helps to be organized and reliable.
 * Three-seat councils are mostly done away with in the Entropaean future, in favor of city-wide United Councils that operate more like congresses.
 * Neihgaughkraighe does not divide its councils by dark and light as often as most other cities. For example, the Cold Chaotic council has included various combinations of warlocks and mages over time.
 * Most councils have traditional colors and ceremonial costumes, such as the white garments of all cold councils in Neihgaughkraighe.

""
 * Nora is hesitant to tell anyone that Norm took the Second Seat of Neihgaughkraighe, since Norm has never shown himself to be the pensive type. However, both are extremely motivated to prove themselves and eventually use this to gain respect for Norm as a whole person.
