The Armistice, as provided by NotABear/MrQBear!
Long ago, most, if not all of the council members were locked in an endless conflict, constantly attacking and defending each other's lands in an effort to become the one true ruler of the In-Between, a large set of pocket dimensions connected to each other. Eventually, the war came to an end, signaled by the coming of the First Visitor. The First Visitor, being helped by something referring to itself as 'The Council', worked it's way through the warring territories, soundly defeating the leadership of each, and bringing them to kneel before themselves. Their combined might was then turned towards a singular goal, a goal which has been lost to the depths of history. After the First Visitor had accomplished what they came to the In-Between for, they led the rulers of each dimension, some old, some new, to a chamber, known as 'The Council Room'. This tiny dimension sits between all the dimensions and somehow acts as a kind of hub world for them all.
Today, each dimension gets a say in the council, although not all of them exercise this right. Only a handful truly believe in the story of the First Visitor, and others still simply don't care. Without the danger of war, most dimensions are happy just to stick to themselves, and the ones that do care, tend to send a Councilor in the form of a member of their dimensional number. The Council position is largely one of an honor guard, that was used to facilitate communication between certain dimensions... however, with the appearance of a new Visitor, not only is there something for The Council to do, but a few dimensions have sent councilors of their own, curious to see what may come of this. . .
