Skimming through The Veiled Prophet, I came across information on the mage council. (I really should buy the e-book version of this, it would be so much easier to use ctrl+f).
(I'm typing these quotes out, by the way, and I couldn't be bothered typing not-as-important information so the quotes will be short)
The mage council consisted of one chosen member from each of the dominant clans, which numbered seven. There were lesser members from the next seven smaller but still powerful ones below those, but they had no vote.
....
The current leader of the council - the bearer of the title changed with each new moon in order to maintain fairness - stared down from the high platform where he and his counterparts sat and, in a voice cracked with age, demanded blah blah blah
....
Something about "Prince Ehmad" (though he would be dead now, as this happened 3000 years ago)
....
They call Uldyssian's kind 'Ascenians' for their skin tone and homeland (white southerners)
....
This part's awesome:
Blood splattered the chamber everywhere, so much that it pooled in many spots on the floor. The screams died down, becoming sobs from here and there... and then silence.
...
At last, the dread spirit located his prize - or two, to be exact. One was a mage, a part of the council, in fact. His life was passing swiftly, but Malic put a hand to his gory torso just where the heart - partially visible - was beating its last.
And I'm done. Couldn't find anything more interesting around those few pages, so I gave up. Plus I'm starving.
Apparently Lilith first disguised herself into Amolia (one of the council member) to introduce herself to Uldyssian, in p.38 of Birthright she tells Uldyssian about what could be Amolia's past.
There was violence, the burning of a minor temple... it was somehow found that... my family had some tie to it...
Accused without true proof, my family was nevertheless stripped of everything. My father and mother were dragged off, never to be seen again! My brother was sent to the dungeons and my sister forced to wed one of the Cathedral's most prominent supporters!
I think Amolia was a wasted character and could have been a lot more important, oh well you can't have everything.
and my sister forced to wed one of the Cathedral's most prominent supporters!
I love Lilith's sense of humor
EDIT: I think "Lylia" also told Uldyssian she came from a Mage Clan but I haven't found it... yet.
EDIT2: Still looking up for more info on the other members but there isn't that much about them
Another two of them are named Nurzani and Kethuus (p.114)
