The ruling body of Endspire, composed of powerful groups bound together by shared control rather than shared trust.

The Council of Chains governs Endspire through a delicate balance of competing interests. Each seat represents a powerful faction, guild, or political bloc.

Decisions are rarely unanimous—but always consequential.

The Council functions less as a unified entity and more as a managed tension between powers.

Core principles:

• Balance prevents collapse
• Power must be shared to be stable
• No single force can control Endspire alone

The Council is both the stabilizing force of the city and the source of many of its tensions.

Citizens depend on its existence, even as they distrust its motives.

• Individual council members vary by era and influence
