Hi all, i have played skaven for a while now and amnd currently half way through "the loathsome ratmen" when something hit me, i dont know what the council of thirteen is . I believe they are the powerful leaders of the skaven race, at the top of the ladder as such while the lords of decay are at the same level but i am unsure.if anyone can clear this up a little for me i would be most greatful, by the way it is likely to be obvious but i am talking about the Council in Warhammer fantasy not on this forum Any replies will be much appreciated Dan |

The members on the Co13 are the Lords of Decay. It's like their honorary titles. | ||

the CO13 members are mostly the leaders of the most powerful clans. Which means they are the strongest rat of all. IIRC, lords of decay are those who were originally CO13 members, a very very very very very long time ago. Before the first civil war I think. Most of them died, though I think some are still alive. Talk about longevity... |

*nods* and the thirteen are: The Horned Rat The leader of the order of Grey Seers Leader of clan Eshin Leader of clan Pestilens Leader of clan Skryre Leader of clan Moulder The leaders of the 7 strongest warlord clans [I believe that Warlord Gnawdwell of clan Mors is one of these?] I think there is a list of the actual rats currently in the Council of 13, and the seat number they occupied... somewhere... <_< |

And when they 'vote', one member can veto the opposite's vote (ie, 1 veto 12, 2 veto 11, etc...). And don't forget Seat 13... The Horned Rat. Pillz |

Skavenguy: The original Skaven leaders were known as the Grey Lords, not the Lords of Decay. According to Fantasy Roleplay background, there still are two Grey Lords alive and on the council to this day. (some 3000 years after their ascension.) | ||

Errrrr I am not sure that Mors is on the counsil. While a very powerful Warlord clan, I believe they are still considered a "risng star" eyt to acheive counsel level. MR |

Thanks guys, much appreciated. im glad thats been cleared up its much more clearer to me now.so when morskittar says they can veto the others vote, does this mean say for example Lord Kritslik can basically get the final word on topics they discuss? Very much appreciated, cheers Dan |

Clan mors is indeed on the council, if I remember right, they were once the most powerful clan and were the grand poobah in the leadership department. They’re lost their top-rat status now with the 4 greater clans taking control, but still hold a lot of influence. |

scriv is right. ![]() And how vetoing works: When voting, and one rat doesn't want to vote, he can abstain AND make his opposite seat's vote not count. The opposite seats are: 1-12 2-11 3-10 4-9 5-8 6-7 And seat 13 (The Horned Rat) Gets the final say. ie, a new policy is being voted on. Morkskittar decides not to vote, but also decides to verto his opposite's vote. So, Kritislik's vote doesn't count. Pillz |

*about skaven not warhammer ;)* I think the council has been summed up well...
I really encourage you to look up the book of the rat in our link section. Its got alot of little details. You just have to ignore the small details about warhammer fanasty roleplay as that might confuse you... but its a great referance. |
