Anyone know what it is and where it can be found?
Sounds legit....
But seriously, we probably won't know what is until the final Season of the Shackles scenario is released. I'm thinking there will likely be a printable card on that file and an option to have real cards created via DriveThru.
I don't think a Wrath loot card would work. Every player who completes the Season of the Shackles earns the Councilor's Ring, so one per set wouldn't be enough.
I believe I saw pluvia's proposal in an official post.

I believe Tanis said they were looking at it being available through DriveThru, which would make one per set irrelevant as an issue. I certainly don't see them requiring using any payment (outside of a general release product like a base set, adventure, or class deck) to get your card. As an option, sure, but I can't see any reasonable distribution method that doesn't include it being part of a physically released set.

I believe what I remember Tanis and/or Vic saying is that the ring will be part of one of the PDFs. Players can put it in their deck any obvious, appropriate way they can think of. They suggested either cutting out a copy of the card and put in in a sleeve with another card or proxy it (much like we do with villains and henchmen in OP) with a card that could not possibly be in your deck (like maybe one of your class deck's Adventure 6 cards during early levels and a basic B boon from the Wrath box at higher levels).

I hope it's more than that. That requires people to buy the adventure or find someone else willing to print them a card. I'm really hoping it's a Wrath card, or included with subscriptions, something. Some way that people can get a good quality card without having to go through a secondary service like DriveThru.

Why would they need to buy the adventure? Do you mean the OP Adventure to get the PDF print out? If there's that much of an issue with coordinators not giving printouts to those who finish the Adventure Path (which would be pretty inconsiderate on their part, in my opinion), I'm sure Paizo would make the image of the ring available for free after the season is over. And if nothing else, coordinators during the Season of the Righteous should keep a copy of the ring on hand for proxy purposes.
Personally, I don't see any more accessible way for an actual quality card to be made available other than via DriveThru. Since the Councilor’s Ring doesn't work like other loot in OP, there would need to be 6 copies of it included in Wrath for that route to work properly all the time. Sending it out with subscriptions would mean you're forcing players to subscribe to get a good copy of the card when you're supposed to only need one Class Deck to participate in OP. Paizo could send a physical pack of the cards to stores participating in OP similar to how Mogmurch was first distributed, but players would be dependent on having access to such a store and the card pack would eventually run out. So either pay $0.50 plus shipping (or less if they do it at-cost or something) for a real copy of the card, or proxy it. I don't really see any other reliable avenue for the ring.

I didn't mean only offer it in the sub. DriveThru and the PDF are good, I just think there should ALSO be a way to get it just by buying the usual product.
I disagree that you'd need six copies of the card in Wrath. Just because they let you use a card from a main set doesn't mean they need to give you enough to run a full party using that card. You don't build the set for OP, you build OP around the set.
This blog post says the Councilor's Ring will be released as a PDF. I couldn't find any other official statement. I wouldn't be surprised if they also made it available for purchase on DriveThru.
