内阁

The Council is a group of specialized Vassal or Courtier characters that help a landed lord rule its realm.

内阁职位

There are five council positions, each linked to one of the character attributes. Each Councilor has three possible tasks. A Councilor can only perform one task at a time and cannot lead troops while assigned to a task. A Councilor's skill is determined by the Attribute used for its Council position and a high or low Attribute can also cause minor beneficial or bungling events.

Position	Primary Attribute	Tasks	Effects
Chancellor	Diplomacy	Integrate Title	Speeds the de jure drift of a valid title into the realm
Marshal	Martial	Increase Control in County	Increases the monthly Control gain in a County
Steward	Stewardship	Increase Development in Country	Reduces building and holding construction time and increases monthly development growth in a County
Spymaster	Intrigue	Find Secrets	Attempts to learn the secrets of characters in a given Court
Court Chaplain	Learning	Fabricate Claim on County	Gains opportunities to acquire claims on a County

Bishop

Certain faiths replace the Court Chaplain with a Bishop. Bishops control all levies and receive all taxes from all temple holdings in the realm and receive a fraction of the taxes and levies generated by the Bishops of all Vassals. They'll then hand over the taxes and levies to the ruler, scaling with their Opinion on said ruler.

Spouse

If a ruler's spouse is unlanded she or he will take up a sixth Council position and give the ruler an Attribute bonus depending on the task they're assigned to.
