I'm making my way around all the threads and cutting and pasting info that pertains
to govt. Managing this info overload will be quite a task.
But I have to say I'm liking the richness and depth of all this.
Good work in this thread.

Elven, reclusive, lives on an island with ancient ruins, could be older than Mor's End itself (in which case he would be a Venerable elf: > 350 years). The Wiz9-13-17 could be different versions of the same concept, or different concepts altogether.
We also need a Sorceror with a total of ~5 character levels (interesting and effective multiclassing preferred), a conniving Wiz5 who wants to become head of the Guild, and a nicely min/maxed (I said nicely!
) Wiz4/Mnk1 or Wiz3/Mnk2 burly librarian.

Couple of comments:
- Workers Senate has been scrapped.
- Do we need the "City Councilman from foreign lands"? How do you see this one? Representative from Kul Moren?
- Mages Guild needs a representative
- Fishers = silkfishers and silk processors/weavers/clothiers/merchants?
- Representative of the military? Or just an advisor?
- How does Lady Kelvin control/lead the Council? Does she or the Castellan sit on the Council? Head of the council?

The Conniver - Maybe this guy can be the one with secret ties to Sabrian Melchazier (though the Conniver thinks its' only Philip Dusaine). He's made an deal with Sabrian to get the funds to do this with. Wheels within wheels.... this could get complicated.
With regard to Sebastiano - I was reluctant to make him part fighter, since he should be able to handle pretty intensive magical duels. However, if he's well-built, and has several well-chosen wands, he could probably be as useful in this role as a high-level wizard. I'm not really sure what the most effective way to combat rogue spellcasters would be - without using prestige classes, or just making him a monk.
I can do the build for Oakheart if you would like, not much of a min-maxer, but I'd probably pump up his unarmed stuff ok. He's probably very well-trusted by the other mages as well - they've all given him their books.
Lastly, I think Cor Mahael should fit outside the demographics. He's an old elf, and lived in an uninhabited, swampy, ruin (before Mor's End) in a great big tower. I don't think he really counts as a 'city-derived' character, and so its safe to make him a little more powerful than most mages in the city. With that said, I think the scaled levels are a very good idea - he can be very powerful if the PC's start off high-level, or just be a handy wizard (9th is probably more than handy I guess) to leave the PC's work at low levels.
(P.S.)I think we should refer to the Wizard's Guild by something else - Arcane or Mage replacing the term wizard. The way it is now, the sorcerers are actually as active a the wizards, making it sort of odd to call it the Wizard's Guild.
(Edit - few little errors.)

Perhaps something a little euphemistic? I always loved the "knitting circle" in WoT.
How about "the arcane club"? They'll have to have the comfy leather club chairs and a smoking room of course. Alestra Silvyn would be considered an upstart by the older members, upsetting the "good old boys" system. Definitely something the Conniver could play into.

Cool idea. Maybe the name could be something more pretentious, however, like 'The Mor's End Society of the Arcane,' with some suitably grandiose motto underneath it. I like that Alestra is a bit of an upstart - and perhaps she and Sebastiano have occasional quarrels - he represents the old guard.
