Council of Scholars

The Council of Scholars is the official governing body of the Sindryl race, and holds the ultimate decision within all matters involving members of the species. The Council is comprised of eight individuals, all of noteworthy scholary progress and/or achievements, as befitting of an octopedantocracy.

The Council is re-elected every century. A previous councillor may be eligible to join the council again, provided they have left a gap of at least one election. Individuals are elected to be on the council by the council itself: the general public have no control over who joins the council.

Generally, a councillor will take up an apprentice to fill their space once the council is re-elected. It is not a requirement for a councillor to have an apprentice, nor is it a requirement for the apprentice to be chosen to fill the councillor's spot come Election Day. Ultimately, the councillor will decide whether their apprentice has the appropriate knowledge and mindset for the job, and if they do not, another suitable candidate will be chosen.

Apprentices are usually chosen within the second year of a new council's reign. Apprentice applications are open to all Sindryl, excluding those under 30 years of age, and members of the Sindryl sub-species 'Fa'Sindryl'.
