The Council of Terra was an Imperial institution created in early M31<sup>1</sup> and lasting until [[Roboute Guilliman]] reformed the Imperium.<sup>2</sup>
Created by the Emperor shortly after the [[Ullanor Crusade]], the Council was created as the governing body of the Imperium whilst the Emperor worked in the vaults of his palace: to attend to matters of state and would aim to create and uphold Imperial Law throughout the newly conquered Imperium, including the controversial Imperial Tithe. <sup>31</sup>
It was superseded by the [[High Lords of Terra|Council of High Lords]] after the [[Horus Heresy]].<sup>42</sup>
==Members of the Council of Terra==
* Chief Custodian [[Constantin Valdor]] of the [[Custodian Guard]]
* Leader of the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica|Divisio Astra Telepathica]]
* Leader of the [[Administratum|Imperial Administration]] <sup>51</sup>
==Controversy==
The Council of Terra attracted controversy during its time; from its inception, the Primarchs were deeply unhappy about being denied a place on the Council, after their position on the [[War Council]] which had been ruling the Imperium for the majority of the [[Great Crusade]]. This contributed to the feelings of abandonment in the Imperial military.<sup>61</sup>
The Imperial Tithe faced staunch opposition from the Warmaster himself, who felt it would cause unrest and even rebellion in some newly compliant or unstable areas of the Imperium.<sup>73</sup>
