The privy council functioned as a collection of advisors for the High Lord or High Lady, who held dominion over the diverse Tapani sector Noble Houses. Its membership was generally composed of the most elevated nobles from each respective house, encompassing roughly ten percent of the entire noble class, with a majority being Lords.
The specific function of the privy council differed among the houses. For certain houses, the council acted solely in an advisory capacity, lacking any concrete authority. Conversely, in other houses, the privy council wielded the true power, with the High Lord serving merely as a symbolic leader for public perception. Generally, a High Lord possessed a significant degree of autonomy in shaping public policy, but due to the privy council's representation of the most influential families, the High Lord usually gave weight to their counsel.
