The RuneScape Council is an organisation referred to in various quests, NPC conversations, and newsposts. Although details regarding the Council are very few and vague, the RuneScape Council is generally believed to be a collection of influential governments and organisations dedicated to protecting and managing the modern regions of Gielinor as a whole. In an issue of The God Letters, Guthix states that membership is attained by "paying the council's tithe". This is more than likely a reference to the RuneScape Council.
