The Conclave, a key political body within the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, existed alongside another council. Its main focus involved matters of religious issues, although it also seemed to wield authority in judicial and legislative domains. The members of the Conclave were gold Ssi-ruu.
Working in conjunction with the Elders' Council, this council participated in choosing the Shreeftut. The two councils, the Conclave and the Elders' Council, were intensely competitive, each vying for supreme control within the Imperium, and frequently, only the Shreeftut's authority averted internal conflict.
