Council of Commons

In the Aeon of the Champion story series, the Council of Commons refers to the lower house of the Aeht Dom, Grevalon's bicameral deliberative body, with its counterpart being the Council of Arcanists. The chief function of the Council of Commons is to serve as a counterweight to magocratic rule in the city-state, and give non-magical persons a voice in the affairs of the nation. It was formed some time after the Council of Arcanists and its high council, the Council of Seven, as the ruling magocrats feared a repeat of the Rune Revolution against magic that had ripped Anthromor apart so many years earlier.

Trivia

 * The Council of Commons is a reference to the UK House of Commons, which, despite being the 'lower house', has more practical power than the House of Lords.
 * The high council of the Council of Commons is, confusingly, also named the Council of Seven. It was later renamed the Hepartite Council.
