View source for Ever-Fruiting Council of Grains

The Ever-Fruiting Council of Grains, often referred to by its simpler colloquial name the [[Board of Harvests]], is a division of the [[Bureau of Humanity]]’s [[Department of Universal Human Affairs]], home to the gods of the food grains cultivated by mortal societies across Creation. Originally, these gods of plant and seed were found under the [[Bureau of Nature]], but successful maneuvers by [[Wun Ja]] and [[Agralzo]] in times long passed poached those gods en-masse due to their close links with human agriculture. When many gods in Universal Human Affairs were subsequently tempted away into the [[Bureau of Heaven]], the close entwining of the purviews of grain with mortal life meant the gods of grain received little lobbying to join the exodus. They thus remain a potent force in Universal Human Affairs, and often coordinate with the gods of the [[Culinary Conclave]], though they have enemies as well… particularly their former colleagues the plant gods in the [[Bureau of Nature]], whose purviews the grain gods encourage mortals to eradicate in order to clear fields and paddies for the spread of grain agriculture. 


The current Satrap of the Council is [[Ovin-Bareth]], Prince of Grain, god of [[Wheat]], a position granted him by the [[Unconquered Sun]], though it is well known that most of the other grain gods have ambitions to take his place.
