Council Positions

Brief restatement of vision:
Council of Forfedhdar represents the common interests, unlike (yet similar to) the Forfedhdar Conclave which is the governmental representation (Conclave represents governments, which represent the people. Council directly represents the people, and represents the Conclave.. I hope thats clear :P )

I think election to positions would occur in two stages. First would be nomination to the position, followed by a vote if more than one person were nominated. Either that or selection by decree.

All positions are held equal, but the Seer is the leader of the Council.
