Council of Seven Scepters
The Council of Seven Scepters is a union of the highborn giants ruling from the tallest spire of Jovatthon. It convenes annually for one week. Each giant civilization is represented by one giant, except for the cloud giants who have two kings on the council, to serve and keep the rulers of each city-state in check.
Already threatened from the fast-breeding humans and vengeful lowborn, the last thing the highborn desire is infighting. When the council meets, its members deliberate on how best to maintain peace and prosperity between their kin.[1][2]
Two of the seven thrones have remained empty for generations: Hillqueen Ovam'mura of the hill giants refused to surrender her scepter when her people were banished, and the Scepter of Wodensdottr has remained technically unclaimed since the demigod Woden abandoned the storm giants after the fall of Tempestar.[3][2]
