The Council of Kings

In the ninth episode Brennan describes a poster on a wall of the City of Chimneys saying that all able-bodied and willing subjects must report for the draft, because active compulsory military service is required to defend the glorious city and serve the Council of Kings NA E9·02:08:58. Murph asks who the Council of Kings are, and Brennan says stuff like the Council of Kings seems somewhat new to Rosamund, who realizes it is not ancient history NA E9·02:10:34 NA E9·02:10:44.

In the tenth episode the Baron of Bricks tells Rosamund that anything they require from the outside world, one of his kings can get for them NA E10·00:31:08. When Rosamund asks "You have kings?" he answers "Kings need weapons." and "Five at the moment, but more soon." NA E10·00:31:46 NA E10·00:31:54

In the eleventh episode Brennan says the party, going through the Baron's desk, finds that five kings have joined the Council of Kings, and the one with by far the most correspondence is the Mer-King NA E11·00:23:20. The others are the Tsar of Snowhold, the King of Apogee, the Naked Emperor and the Mouse King NA E11·00:24:20. In the twelfth episode Snow White says the Baron of Bricks and the Council of Kings are working for terrestrial aims and wish to conquer this world NA E12·00:26:36. She also says the Council of Kings in this world works in tandem with the fairies NA E12·00:46:37. In the thirteenth episode Brennan recaps that the Mer-King is part of the Council of Kings NA E13·00:05:40. The Mer-King cries "The Council of Kings banishes you to oblivion!" before the Dogfish swallows him NA E13·00:14:44 NA E13·00:30:22.
