Elven Council

In Total War: Warhammer, the  is a campaign mechanic for the Wood Elves faction led by Orion. It is one of the Wood Elves Offices variants.

From Total War: Warhammer II onwards, Orion's faction has been renamed to Talsyn and as of The Twisted and Twilight Update, the Elven Council has been replaced by Orion's Chosen.

Description and strategy
In order to benefit from faction wide positives of creating an office on the Council a Glade Lord simply needs to be given the position after the associated building (which can bring a faction wide bonus itself) is built. One offices does allow forming trade agreements with non-Wood Elf factions and a decrease in local corruption. The trade benefit is factionwide and seems to occur no matter where the officeholder is (though-due to geography-is likely initially limited to Bretonnian factions). The local benefit of decreased corruption only occurs in the province the officeholder currently is in.

To gain access to each council position build each building related to it-a different council position related building can be built in each part of the forest. For example the building that makes available the council position allowing to trade with non-Wood Elf factions can be build in Argwylon. One way to create the full council is to confederate with each of the other factions in Athel Loren and then build the respective building in each location.
