Grandmaster Council

The Grandmaster Council was the governing body of the Shinzoka, and by extension the governing body of Krawvill. The heads of this organization are the monarchs of Krawvill, often affectionately referred to as the Dragon-King and Dragon-Queen, due to the Shinzoka's natural abilities to turn into dragons. Despite the greater number of women in the country, a majority of the Grandmaster Council is male, due to the cultural rules of men and women in Shinzoka society. While this is a trend that has been around for as long as the Shinzoka's gender disparity, the 181st Age saw the council become increasingly male in contrast to the increasing overall female Shinzoka population.

The Grandmaster Council was essentially disbanded after an invasion from the 79th Krippan Empire destroyed Capitol Clazdian and absorbed the rest of Krawvill, effectively erasing the country from the map. Since most of its leaders were publicly executed or made examples of by the vengeful Zaderei, it was not reorganized.

History
The council was formed as early as the time when the ancestral Vartiz first separated into the the different races known today. When these people eventually became Shinzoka, the council remained, although only started to grow more patriarchal as the Shinzoka's gender disparity began to become more noticeable. While this disparity has fluctuated since the 75th Age when the Shinzoka were recognized as their own race rather than as a tribe of Vartiz, it seemed to grow more alarmingly prominent in the late 181st Age after the Great Jalenga War. The Grandmaster Council has been primarily male ever since.

The 182nd Age saw the demise of this organization after Krawvill's invasion of neighboring Krippa was eventually repelled. While the weak and shaky republic managed to stay together, it was the actions of Liberty Tezeru Mežkiel 4 that later inspired the republic to crumble in favour of the 79th Krippan Empire, an entity that would later absorb all of Krawvill and annihilate the Grandmaster Council members altogether, bringing the organization to a swift and untimely end as the country was brought under Krippan rule.
