Votannic Council
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
A Votannic Council is the governing council of a Kindred of the Leagues of Votann.[1]
These Councils' authorities extend beyond civil matters, and also command a Kinhost in the event of war. This body consists of the most senior and respected heroes of a Kindred, such as High Kâhl, Brôkhyr Forge-Master, Chief Strategist[3], Evaluation Monitor[3], and the Kindred's Lord Grimnyr. The Votannic Council is normally gathered for only the grandest conflicts, usually when the entire Kindred or their Hold face direct peril.[1] In the past, it is said that High Kâhls managed all the affairs of the Kin as the sole decision makers, but Votannic Councils have replaced them in this role.[2]
