The Citadel Council emerged from the immediate aftermath of the Collapse. In the chaos of New Vance City’s early days, when survival was a moment-to-moment struggle, the remnants of the pre-Collapse city government, alongside key community leaders and former Solar Guardian members, coalesced within the fortified walls of the old city hall. They understood that without a centralized authority, the city would devolve into a chaotic free-for-all, leaving its inhabitants vulnerable to both the shamblers and the predatory factions that emerged. The Council's initial actions focused on securing vital resources, establishing basic security, and creating a framework for a new economic system. They recognized that the old world was gone, and that a new order was needed, one that could adapt to the harsh realities of their post-apocalyptic existence. This foundation cemented the Citadel Council as the de facto authority in New Vance City.
