High Council of Imperium

The High Council of the Empire (Magonian: Concilium Altum) is a legislative body that represents the magical (Theurgarum), religious (Hierophantarum) and state governments (Principum) from the 89 constituent states of the Empire. The High Council was established in 452, at the beginning of the First Electivate, as the consolidation of religious, magical and human powers for the governance of the Empire. Its power was gradually reduced during the Second Electivate and, beginning with the rise of the constitutional monarchy in 1720, the High Council was demoted to a supportive legislative body.

The members of the High Council are appointed by the Concilium Principum, Theurgarum and Hierophantarum to act as the representatives of their constituent state by their council. Therefore, each of the three councils appoints 1 representative per constituent state, establishing a total of 267 members of the High Council. The titles of the members of the High Council vary according to the council from which they come: High Commissioners (Principum), Deans of the Theurgs (Theurgarum) and Hierophant Counselors (Hierophantarum). The term of the members of the High Council is defined by their councils through state committees (Theurgarum and Hierophantarum) or the length of term of the state governments (Principum).
