I'm a unique position in this rewrite to rename one group of entities who suffered a name-similarity problem.
In the main milieu, the characters fight a coalition of what I'll call [Coalition Wizards]
Much later they fight the world's ruling council ... What I'll call [Council Wizards]
This term-similarity has been dogging me for decades, but I'm in a position to finally change the second one,
For now, Council was changed to Tower. It works because the council meets in a tower. But it's a bit weak. Thoughts? Invent a foreign-sounding word? Steal from the Bible (wizards of Gilgamesh)?

I'd plug your above paragraph into one or more AIs and see what they come up with. Gemini has been pretty good with helping me name a few things.

Edit: Tower Wizards doesn't sound ideal. It doesn't suggest anything about what they are/do in the story.

Wizards of Gilgamesh sounds pretty cool. Along those lines - Dark Lords of Babel. Sons of Molech.

Search "Pagan God's of the Bible" or similarly. Or search cities names.

Re: etc3

"Alliance" for "Coalition"?  Use two words for one of the descriptors?  Eg. "Kleenex Council"/"Council of Kleenex" which can be shortened to the unambiguous "Kleenex"?
