- The Privy Council was a group of advisors to the High Lord (or High Lady) of Tapani sector Noble Houses. The council was typically drawn from the highest status nobles within each house. This comprised about ten percent of the noble class of which most were Lords. The role of the Privy council within each house varied. In some houses the council was an advisory body only with no direct power. In others it is the power behind a figurehead High Lord. Typically a High Lord had a fair amount of authority to formulate public policy but since the privy council represented the most powerful families the High Lord normally took their advice under consideration.

There also existed a Privy Council in Tortall. It had the power to pass laws in the third century in the Human Era and Gershom of Haryse, the Lord Provost, had enemies in the council who permanently tried to infringe his powers. Thus they passed a law in 245 HE making it more difficult to use truthspells for interrogation, forcing the Provost's Guard to use torture instead. Accordig to Beka, Lord Gershom would also need the council's approval to "mount an operation in Port Caynn" and in her reckoning it would take him days to get said approval.
