The Trader Council seems to be the highest judicial institution among Traders. The council consists of five judges. Two of the members are land-Traders, two are sea-Traders and one is a mimander, or mage. The council is known to meet at Nidra Island off the shore of Sotat. It decides upon important matters like if someone is declared trangshi or if someone's luck is cleansed. The council also keeps the large logbook in which the names of all Trader families, vessels and companies are recorded.
