[QUOTE="Sarellion, post: 2101775, member: 6254"] For my next contribution I work from some stuffe mentioned in post 5. I try to tie it in somehow as People imagine the pillars and so on different now. Post: Eyros has a long tradition of senatorial governance, with occassional periods of despotic autocracy when a particular family or individual gains dominance. Contribution: The senate could be considered the legislative body of the Dominion of Eyros, but there is no constitution detailing a rigid government system. In normal times, the senate passes the laws, serves as a meeting ground of the Pillars, authorizes the grand monarch to go to war and decides about the imperial household. Senators are nominally free to vote as they wish but the pillar doesn´t take kindly to senators who don´t do as they wish. As pureblooded senators can be called back within three months time, a wise senator does as told. Half-orcs can only be recalled if both pillars agree. But there is an unspoken agreement that half-orcs are considered to be affiliated with the -dal Pillar. if the -dal Pillar decides to withdraw a senator, the other one normally agrees. A half-orc can only be withdrawn after the year has passed. The Grand Monarch is doing all the day to day politics and is able to veto laws if not passed by 2/3 of the senate. There are also other privileges and powers who were granted or taken away depending on the grand monarch currently in the seat of power. He is also considered to be a senator of the appropriate house constellation and the supreme commander of all legions. The grand monarch cannot be withdrawn by the pillars. The Grand Monarch is also the moderator in house conflicts if the Senate isn´t able to solve the issue If 1/2 of the Senate is unable to attend the sessions, all debates are postponed until the required number of senators are available. As senators often challenge each other, it happens more often as one might believe. Most Grand Monarchs who were able to rule as dictators were able to control the military and disbanded the senate or just got hold of many senators. Especially the half-orc descendants of the houses are prone to abandon their former allegiances and are often challenged by faithful members of their -dal pillar to remove them from important sessions. Before Agathon´s reforms, some houses could get hold of rulership when the grand monarch was a member of their House, using political dominance in the Senate and the position of the monarch to gain the sole rulership. During the reign of the last two monarchs the system has reached a stable position. The pillars accept most of the monarch´s wishes and the monarch takes care to considerate all Houses wishes. There is alot of political wranglings in the Senate however and alliances are shifting all the time. In this time senators who are master duelists are in high demand and everyone is polishing his combat skills or his rhetorics. As fights in the Senate are increasingly common, the Grand Monarch friendly suggested that the fights should be fists only when fighting within the chamber, otherwise there wouldn´t be enough priests to attend to the wounds of the fighters or senators to attend to the sessions next week. Emperor Ezlan managed to gain hold of the privilege to appoint the imperial judges, got a higher number of masks and so on. His predecessor managed to form an alliance with the Praes Thanatos, who use their huge influence and privileges on behalf of the Grand Monarch. On the other side the Grand Monarch backs up the Praes Thanatos in their political endeavours. The Patriae Sicarii are happy to work withhin this stable alliance especially after having to work with an unstable alliance of houses in the Senate beforehand. So what you think. I thought to include something that the Grand Monarch can pass laws himself as long as the Senate doesn´t veto them or so. This is a rough outline. I am not really sure if it would work so far.
