The T'orrud Cabal is Darujhistan's council of senior mages, functioning as the city's principal magical authority and one of its informal governing bodies. Its members are among the most powerful practitioners in the city, drawn from various disciplines and backgrounds, united by their shared interest in Darujhistan's independence and their collective responsibility for its magical defence. The Cabal operates through consensus and deliberation - a governing style that reflects both the temperaments of its members and the political realities of a city that has maintained its independence through careful management of competing interests.
