Welcome to the forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Unfortunately, all the council members except the orc (Kroxy) and the wizard (Zandalor) are dead.
And I don't think you do ever leave the wastelands (have to wait until DD2)
So really you're right, and don't worry, no-one is going to shout at you in this forum.
