One of the two ruling bodies of the city of Magnimar the Council of Ushers is in theory the most powerful organisation in the city, unfortunately its glory days have long since passed. The Council of Ushers began as a group of fifteen of the wisest and most powerful men of the city of Magnimar, unfortunately since then it has bloated in a group of one hundred and seventeen people that includes, greedy merchants, power seeking sycophants and decadent nobles. Despite its generally corrupt nature there are those amongst the Council who only want to help their fellow citizens but their voices are all too often drowned out by the petty squabbles of their fellows. The Council of Ushers is based within the Usher's Hall in the magnificent Capital District of Magnimar.
