Bog Council

The de facto governing body of The Bog, The Bog Council reigns predominantly over The Darkwood Area. While others have attempted to claim supreme control of The Bog in the past, its staggering size and peculiar demographics make this nearly impossible to do. The Bog Council has retained power as a result of being assembled from local leaders and prominent figures, as well as never overstepping its position as far as Bog Folk are concerned.

Function
The Bog Council has mostly used its influence to enforce guidelines and standards for autonomous or sovereign states within The Bog. Representative government, in whatever form it happens to take, is relatively common thanks to The Council. Rudimentary human rights are also commonplace as well.

History
The Bog Council was unofficially formed after The First Great Bog War, when the leadership at the time was unified under the ad hoc “Bog War Council”. After the fighting came to an end, the majority of the council elected to remain assembled to maintain stability within The Bog, on the consideration that large transitions of power took place during this conflict. At the onset of The Second Great Bog War, it was the council who ensured an unsteady victory for the Bog Folk as a result of their ability to coordinate intelligence and resources between regions much more effectively.
