Council of Surket

The Council of Surket is a group of 17 individuals who govern the city of Surket. Each member of the Council represents one of the 17 districts that make up Surket.

History
The Council of Surket was formed by Ozymandias when he guided the 9 tribes who followed him out of the Crimson Desert. The Council was comprised of the chiefs of each of the nine tribes, and originally only had 9 people on it. They planned and built the original city of Surket, and were constantly at odds with Ozymandias as he attempted to expand his empire. The original Council is most famous for murdering Ozymandias, each one stabbing him multiple times before he finally collapsed dead.

After the death of Ozymandias, the Council appointed his son Xerxes to be the new emperor. They were instrumental in shaping the new title of emperor to suit their needs. The Emperor of Ozymandium would govern the nation, but the Council of Surket would control the city.
