Council of Man
Nochka Puhrum
The Council of Man was originally made up of the twenty oldest men and women of the settlement of Noch. While it is believed to have existed in some sort since the beginning of the settlement, it comes into its own as a true leadership around 3400 pre-sc.
The Council's duty was to provide spiritual advice and guidance, as well as see to the daily needs of the growing population of the village. The dense population and growing boundaries of the village, at the time more than a thousand structures large, prevented most from finding food bearing plants. The Council organized parties to journey out to generate and gather food enough for the population.
It was also the Council's duty to oversee the fertility rituals to ensure pregnancy. They did this by using their natural Daemon ability to use the Anon (Magic). These elders learning to manipulate their power for use on the womb at aid in conception. An ability not without risk, as it resulted in mutated children as often as it did healthy babies at birth.
Obscure religious texts claim at some point, best guessed to be around a century after it is formed, several Aggel took up positions in the Council. An action embraced by the Nod Noch, who see these celestial beings as wiser and more divine than daemon. Within a generation the entire Council is made up of only aggels. It was these aggels, known as Aggoles that started the Aggelomachy.
