We do this together or not at all. It has been proposed that this page be merged with Isu Authority in Eden, under the article: Isu Authority in Eden. Discussion to this effect can be held on the former article's talk page. |
The High Council was a group of Isu responsible for bestowing the titles of "Father of Understanding", "Mother of Wisdom", and "Sacred Voice".
History[edit | edit source]
Little is known about the High Council, other than their actions at several particular points in time.
On day 24 of 2161 IE, the Council gave the order to create humanity in an endeavor known as Project Anthropos, asking for "animals of great strength but limited sense" to do labor the Isu either could not or would not do themselves. The Council tasked their current Capitoline Triad with the different aspects of said creation, with the Father of Understanding Yaldabaoth managing production, the Mother of Wisdom Saklas managing design schematics, and the Sacred Voice Samael in charge of recruiting top Isu scientists and philosophers for the project.[1]
Centuries later, when soldiers came to arrest Loki for the murder of Baldr, he told his lover Aletheia that he would appeal to the Council,[2] believing he could justify his actions by informing them how Odin had wrongfully imprisoned their son Fenrir for crimes vaguely prophesied to happen.[3] Some time later, Aletheia informed Loki that the High Council had stripped the Mother of Wisdom Juno of her title for revealing to Odin the secret of the supercomputer Yggdrasil and giving him a sample of its necessary catalyst known as "the Mead".[4]
Around the same time, the Valkyrie Hildr, serving as the Chief Guardian of the Eden Ring Station, learned that the Rings of Eden initiative and, by extension, the Station would be shut down due to the project being unable to reach completion before the Great Catastrophe. Furious, she went to appeal to the High Council but never returned to her post, and so the project was shut down as planned.[5]
