The Council of Lords of the Hidden Sith Order was the Governing body of the Order, and controlled almost all of the Order's activities as it acted council acted as the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branch. The Lord High Councilor acted as leader of the Council of Lords, and if he was placed out of action they would have to decide who would succeed him. During the final years of the Hidden Sith Order, the council grew smaller and smaller, until only three councilors were left. This eventually led to the disorganization of the order, as these three could not run the Order by themselves.
