The Council of Covens
The Council of Covens was a council made up of two members of each prominent coven in Morytania. The purpose of this council was to create a meeting area in which covens could discuss political events in a peaceful and organised manner and vote upon future progress.

The following covens had seats at the council:
 * House of Varré, represented by Olrun Varré-Nourom, Hawke Varré, Klaus Nourom.
 * ​The Vaeyl Coven, represented by Charo Vaeyl
 * The Draculea Coven, represented by Alucard Draculea
 * The Foryx Coven, represented by Lothorian Foryx
 * The Nourom Coven, represented by Taralani Nourom, Felson Nourom.

Shortly after the formation of the council, the Draculea and Foryx covens were barred from having seats and their leaders condemned as outlaws due to their assassination attempt on Klaus Nourom.

The council dispersed due to it being unneeded once the civil war broke out.

Current Political Map of Morytania
The following is a list showing which areas are governed by whom:


 * Slayer Tower, the Vaeyl Coven
 * Castle Fenkenstrein, the Draculea Coven
 * Port Phasmatys and Mort'ton, the Foryx Coven
 * Burgh de Rotte, Haunted Mine, and the Barrow's Town, the Nourom Coven

(Due to the Dominion's disbanding, and their leaders leaving World 42, the clans 'claimed' lands have been left empty and abandoned.)

Let it be noted that when the city of Darkmeyer was released on RuneScape, the community of '42 Morytania decided that the entire region of the Sanguinesti would henceforth become 'unclaimable' to the public clans or groups. Thusly, that order is still in effect preserving that as Drakan territory. Along the same lines, Morytania is NOT a Player Owned Kingdom (POK), and as such, the NPC House Drakan itself presides over all the others, who 'maintain' its land. Having studied the past, the Covens have decided such is to remain this way to prevent future full-scale conflicts.
