The Twilight Council seeks to end the Woodland civil war by convening assemblies that govern clearings and limit enemy actions. They gain legitimacy by overseeing enemy buildings and tokens, supported by Loyalists. Assemblies can be Closed or Governing, with Governing assemblies restricting enemy actions and providing victory points.
