Difference between revisions of "Elendel"

The government of Elendel is a democratic unitary government with a directly elected Executive branch. It'sIts legislative branch has mixed methods of appointment, some hereditary and some elected. A judicial system is known to exist, but little is known of the specifics, apart, notably, from its ability to assign capital punishment.

Primary (and possibly all) law enforcement within Elendel is the Constabulary. Each Octant is headed by a Constable-General, though each reports directly to the Governor. The Governor had the authority to appoint Aradel as "lord high constable", a position which it seems he invented on the spot, as neither the Constable-General, one of his best lieutenants, or his aide had ever heard of it before. They even wondered aloud whether or not the "lord" in the title conveyed peerage, though the Governor lacks the authority to appoint someone to the nobility. The lord high constable was given authority over the other seven Constable-Generals, and did not seem to give up his position as Constable-General of his own octant.
