The Ebon Council is made up of several of Neriak’s royal houses. The role of the council in the past has been the advisors to the Tier’dal Queen, helping her make decisions on state, diplomacy, and even war when it was needed. It has always served the queen faithfully and loyally.

Tier’dal noble houses find it a magnificent honor and a point of pride to be called to serve upon the Ebon Council. Many houses try to use intrigue and subterfuge to gain entrance into the council, but the Queen has always been weary of such, she only calls those who she deems willing to her cause. She understands that if need be her council will lay their lives down for her at any given moment.

The Queen’s latest consort has woven fine threads of doubt in her mind. Through his subversive measures of manipulations, poisons and magics, he has twisted her perception to the point that she no longer trusts her judgement. In a final humiliating gesture, she has given consent to her consort, and now self-proclaimed King, to rule in her stead.

The false ruler’s first action, upon being granted this power was to disband the Ebon Council. The pretender saw it as a liability, as it held to the old traditions and values. He realized that if the Ebon Council continued he would never be able to see his dream of watching the Lodge of the Dead burn beneath Veeshan’s fire.

After several years, a few loyal subjects have uncovered the King’s plot and have persuaded the Queen that she must once again form the Ebon council, if not for her safety then for Neriak. After much deliberation and persuasion, she has issued her Grand Vizier to once again re-instate the council to aid her in this time of trouble and madness. She has already sent word to her long time ally, Mayong Mistmoore in the far continent of Faydwer, and hopes that the powerful undead master will be able to aid her subjects against the dragons when the time comes.

The Ebon Council now works in secret finding other allies that will aid the Tier’dal Queen and her cause against the dragons. It is their hopes that through their efforts they will be able to dethrone the treacherous King and make certain that the Queen rules her people as she has in the past.

The above is the role-playing version of what our guild is about, and by now you have probably gathered that we are mainly a role-playing intensive guild.
