Tulkonist Council

The Tulkonist Council is the leading organizational authority on Tulkonism. All denominations ultimately yield to the Tulkonist Council, in official or unofficial capacity. For most of its history, the Council has been in charge of tracking and training the Tulkon, while also acting as an authority on important dates and central tenets within the diverse religion of Tulkonism.

After the Immortal War, the Tulkonist Council became a political and military power, and was one of the central powers of the Keghotogh Crisis. This military branch is known as the Tulkonist Army, and sometimes as the Spire after their headquarters at Yaaamemon's Rock.

History
The Council was first formed by Tulkon Nyrota in 140 AT to find and train subsequent Tulkons, as well as act as an authority for the religion of Tulkonism. The Council would be made up of ten delegates from various countries. The Tulkon would hold an unofficial position within the organization, as many Tulkons were not Tulkonists themselves. The headquarters of the Council would move to the birthplace of every Tulkon once their status was revealed.

During the Iloisa Conquest, the Tulkonist Council was banned from the Iloisa Empire for its anti-Imperial sentiments. After the Empire fell, the Council was allowed to build their headquarters in Crescent Bay, Usybork, the hometown of Tulkon Ytinise.

After the 40-Year War and the death of Tulkon Yaaamemon in 1152 AT, the world entered the 300-year Era Without a Tulkon. During this period, the Council remained active, and was responsible for keeping adherents in the absence of their religion's central figure. Epodora's confirmation as the Tulkon in 1521 AT was met with great celebration by the whole world.

Tulkon Gal Adodume appointed her close friend and King of Norte-Muldox, the immortal Amorim, to the Council to be the official trainer of the Tulkon, a position he would serve until his death in 2421 AT. Amorim would become a saint in some sects of Tulkonsim, as he trained a full cycle of Tulkons.

In 2876, Orcanth King Zetopa killed Tulkon E'Acoradi when the latter learned of his plan to take over the world. Prior to the assassination, Zetopa's government had spread anti-Tulkon propaganda, which also concerned E'Acoradi. The propaganda campaign doubled in intensity after E'Acoradi's death, and Zetopa also claimed to have ended the Tulkon Cycle. The propaganda combined with the apparent death of Tulkonism's central figure led to huge global public pressure that eventually lead to the Tulkonist Council's disbandment. After the end of the Immortal War in 2905, Tulkon Vonha reformed the Tulkonist Council and granted it greater autonomy, making it immune to public pressure. This greater autonomy eventually allowed the Council to form the Tulkonist Army, a private military force that would become the greatest on the planet. The Council also built a new headquarters on Yaaamemon's Rock. Tulkon I'Ladas became the first Tulkon to have an official position within the organization as the leader of the Army, which led to some extremists to worship the Council itself.

When the Keghotogh Crisis broke out in 3095 AT, the world's countries were unable to interfere due to the conditions of the Onor-Ynofora Codes. However, the Council was not subject to the codes, and was able to send the army to Keghotogh City. When chaos broke out between the different players of the Crisis, the Army created a temporary truce to find the missing I'Ladas.
