Grand Magister / Steward of the Realm Tylos Gorm' – Closest adviser to the King up until his death and adviser to the Kings father before him he is one of the most respected men in the Kingdom of Coraza and is master of the Imperial College. After the death of their king the High Council voted Tylos Steward of the Realm.'  Before being elected Steward of the Realm he was also a member of the High Council, his old student Borovis Caldwel now sits on the council in his stead.

Major General Julius SaltAn older man of about 40 who gained the title of Major General through martial prowess instead of by nobility. Raised in the northern highlands of Coraza he is a large bitter man whose stature resembles the bedrock of the mountains he sprung from. He is one of the members of the High Council.

Lord of Coin Lady Shyl von HoffA noblewoman from the Western spanse whose husband Lord Varguss von Hoff held the seat of Lord of Coin until he died of a voracious illness five years ago. After his death the Lady von Hoff has efficiently taken control of the seat and kept the country running during and after the war with Fel'Mahar. She holds the loyalty of the majority of the Noble houses in the West.

Archmage Zemoc the FirstHis seat is always left open, a legendary figure from the history of Coraza, said to have personally taught the first five Great Kings of Coraza as well as rising The Lords Tower himself through sheer will. During The War of Fangs the Darklord Hriss laid an assault upon the capital city Coraza (the country was named after the city) and broke into The Lords Tower, and after one entire day of cacophonous battle The Lords Tower exploded at its midpoint and neither Zemoc or Hriss was ever heard from again.

Master of the Keep Grori GundersonA Dwarf as dour and gruff as they come, his family line has always been the Master of the Keep if history is to be believed, the original having been personally selected by Archmage Zemoc in the times of the 2nd Great King Yuenwald. The Keep of the King has never been successfully assaulted under the watch of the Gundersons', the closest attempt being Darklord Hriss's assault on the city of Coraza during the time of the 5th ,and last, Great King Neunos. The Master of the Keep Is also the head of the city guard and therefor technically holds authority over the Major General on matters within the City of Coraza.

Man of Many Robes Kell DathusA younger man newly appointed to the High Council, Kell Darthus speaks for the voice of the Holy Quarter where the churchs of the many faiths of Coraza are located. Many regard the Man of Many Robes the most trying and least respected seat on the High Council, as trying to mesh the wants and needs of many conflicting religions together into a useable plan is nigh impossible.

Supreme Judge Edmund RoriA brutal man who seemingly only know or cares for the Law of Coraza always voting in the direction most likely to maintain order within the Kingdom. He is head of the court system and the guards throughout the Kingdom as well as the Silvered Swords, the special police of Coraza.
