Difference between revisions of "Elendel"

The legislative branch of Elendel is bicameral in nature. Both houses, however, are comprised of politicians called Senators. There are mixed methods of appointment, some hereditary and some elected. One house is comprised entirely of Noble Houses. Whoever inherits any given High Noble title also inherits their vote in the Senate, although they can assign a proxy to do the actual voting. The other house is elected by the people, divided by profession via guilds (i.e., there is a seat for Orchard Growers, and one for Seamstresses, etc).{{book ref|mb7|2}} Term limits and years of service are, at the moment, unknown. It is also unknown if the guild seats are weighted in some way to reflect number of constituents or importance towards the city. It is unknown what allows a group of workers to band together, declare themselves a guild, and gain a seat, or if some arrangement is made for people in niche industries that might not have a guild.
