The Council is the governing body of the Clave. They are based in Alicante.[1] They write the laws which Shadowhunters and Downworlders must observe. The Council also signs the Accords and dictates decisions for official agreements between Shadowhunters and Downworlders.
Description[]
The Council retains the power to recall any Shadowhunter to Idris at any time.[2] The Council is also responsible for appointing the Consul, among other positions.
Local Enclaves/Conclaves choose representatives to sit on the Council, which deals with matters of immediate import that are not large enough for the entire Clave to become involved. Council-called meetings are bigger than local Clave meetings. They are called most often when grave subjects or concerns arise that would affect the whole Clave.
Depending on the gravity of issues to discuss, attendees of Council meetings may vary. Some may only be attended by select members of the Clave, and some, mostly emergencies, are required to be attended by all active Clave members. Some meetings even have titles, such as the Great Council or war councils, depending on the purpose.
