The High Council of Twelve is a group of 12 highly qualified noble citizens, helping the Hand of the King govern the Holy Kingdom. Each has a task to perform for which the Hand calls them, they are all appointed by the Hand. None of these 12 paladins is voted in through elections. They stay in their position until, the Hand finds he needs them else where. None of these seats are hereditary. If the Hand dies then from among these 12 a new Hand is chosen, by the 12, in casting a vote. They can not vote for themselves however. A Paladin does not need to adhere to the state religion, (s)he is allowed to be of any Christian denomination, but it has to be a state sanctioned Christian faith. (If a Paladin does not adhere to the Templar Church faith, (s)he can not cast a vote in the choosing of the next Hand.) If the (next) Hand of the king is not of the Templar Church religion, (s)he will not hold the title, Defender of the Faith (Fid. Def). It will go to the highest ranking officer in the faith, until there is a new Hand of the king (Dei Gra Rex) who is also a member of the Templar church, (in that case it reverts back to the Hand.).

only unanimously the 12 can overrule a law made by the hand of the king.
