That's essentially correct. It's modeled after the Icelandic Althing, if the Icelanders had kings.
It's essentially a law court for disputes between clans, at which the king takes as much notice of political factors as legal ones.

The tribal council (or ring) is involved in the day-to-day business of the tribe. The exact composition is somewhat flexible (i.e. there doesn't *have* to be a Thunder Brothers seat), but it's traditionally 13 members.
