Most Consilii are oligarchies run by the most experienced mages. Their dictates are law, although few mages are so foolish as to impose their will upon others without careful thought. If a council is deemed to oppress the members of regional cabals, they can almost assuredly expect a revolt or assassination attempt to set things right. Hence, in practice, most Consilii seem more like representative democracies. In times of calamity or war, however, the council’s word is not to be questioned upon pain of expulsion or death.
