Smurf Magocouncil

The Smurf Magocouncil was the governing body of the Smurf Empire in the Aeon of the Champion story series, up until the ascension of kings during the period of Mythos.

The council was made up of members from the Smurf High Caste, expert practicioners of magic. The six members on the council met every so often to deliberate and decide upon policy. However, due to the egoism of the members involved, the council slowly became inefficient as it was crippled by indecision, often leaving the commoner smurfs unsure as to what lay ahead of them. This climaxed in a brief secession from the Empire by Archmage Seshmedi, which was eventually resolved with the creation of the office of King Smurf.

Most Kings Smurf ruled with the consent of the Council, but when Dan'Ariz ascended to the throne, he restructured the government so the monarchy was over the head of the Magocouncil - permanently. This granted him almost unlimited power. From the first among the magocrats he selected Hamwan to be the First Grand Vizier Smurf, resulting in Grand Archmage Kounjin becoming leader of the Magocouncil.

The Magocouncil was once again thrown into controversy when Seshmedi plotted to assassinate Dan'Ariz and take the throne for himself; he was exposed by Manius, who replaced him on the council, and Seshmedi was imprisoned under the ruins of the Three Tusks Dam.
