The Raven Council
Structure
The council is composed of eight members elected from the populace of Bjergvagt. Theoretically, any freeman of the town is eligable to run for council seats. In practice, only individuals notable due to wealth, spiritual endorsement or martial prowess have the prestige to successfully campaign for election.
Council Elections are held every five years, with every seat at stake. In the event of the death or retirement of a councillor, an election is held for the individual seat.
