After becoming a demigod, Isaac had learned a fair amount about the Demigod Council. It had originally been convened by demigod wizards, and all its members were demigods, though the demigod wizards of that era had still only been Third-Tier High Wizards. Its duties had been simple: guiding the development of the Wizard Civilization.

Once, any major decision in the council had required the approval of over ninety percent of its demigods. Later, as their numbers increased, that percentage had slowly fallen. Everyone had their own ideas, after all. Even if powerful beings tended to think alike on many matters, they were still separate individuals, and differences inevitably emerged in the details.
