( 1)Augurius disbanded the original Elder Council when he started using Necromancy and they turned against him. And by disbanded I mean he killed them. So Darius recreated the Elder Council, it is different from before, and that is why it is so small in comparison. So far there are only 11 members, one that each province leader can nominate and one that belongs to the Nelthars, as that was one of the terms of their alliance with Darius. It works kind of like a Parliament/Supreme Court. As in they can function as a court in matters that involve more than one province. They can also vote on laws and other edicts but the Emperor has the power of veto over them. So they have both Juridical and Legislative powers. 2)No you are correct, Augurius mostly ruled with fear. But during the last RP the Colovian Nobles and, to a degree, the Nibenise Nobles were still loyal to him for the most part. Like I said some Imperials did defect to Darius side when he invaded Cyrodiil but he still had to besiege Anvil/Kvatch/Skingrad as the Legion was garrisoning those cities, among others like Bruma, Chorrol and Cheydinhal.)
