User blog comment:Dragonfighter1/Relationship between Wesen Council, Royals and the Verrat/@comment-1509826-20130426190214

As far as I undestand it, the royals ruled europe, and that included the wesen who lived in europe, and so on, considering the physical prowless some wesen have it seems quiet likely they would want them under there control, as soldiers or guards. The council I think is more Wesen based, purely for wesen, simply to maintane there freedom, and allow them to live amongst humans, as they are more humans than wesen. The Verrat as far as I understand it was started by the royals, after they lost most of there power to try and keep the the wesen under there control.
