The Ether Council is the ruling body of Rovakhit, formed of augurs who base their decisions and actions in the patterns they see in the stars and auroras. Though autocratic in nature, the Ether Council is generally looked upon quite favorably by the people of Rovakhit, as they have led the nation to great plenitude through their divination.
Each individual on the Ether Council holds their position for life - new augurs are only raised to the role upon the death of their predecessor. Each augur is chosen by the others on the Council from amongst the augur-shamans within the broader population. Their exact criteria for the position is shrouded in mystery, but historically the Council has seemingly had a preference not just for skill in divination but also for a history of travel and a lack of familial ties.
The Ether Council remains secluded from the broader world within the Observatory of Horns in Rovakhad, and therefore their decisions and prognostications are acted upon by others in their stead. They pass their decisions down to the ortka, figures who rule each city and outlying region in Rovakhit, themselves appointed directly by the Council. Under them are the ortka-sha, effectively a combination of mayors and judges responsible for keeping order and ensuring prosperity within their domains.
