The 6 gnomish senators are listed to be all members of the Praes Thanatos. I think the Praes Thanatos were envisioned to be 90% necromancers at least.Contribution:Debate in the senate is often interrupted by duels. All requirements for a duel are fulfilled in the senate. A special circle is the dueling place where combatants meet. Xirian dal-Taljik ty-Mulcibe of the Draconic Legacy is the current High Priest of the High Chamber and one of the few priests able to cast spells from the 9th veil. He and his staff of priests takes care of the wounds of the senators. Kyatha dal-Malarn ty-Zhal is the current Head Judge of Violent Debate. The Head Judge is the most accomplished duelist of the senate and the judge of duels.Rules for Duels are modified in the senate. The Head Judge is allowed to declare one duelist the winner before his opponent is unconscious, if he is clearly superior. If the senate disagrees the grand monarch or the speaker of the senate can declare one the victor. If only one of the dueling houses disagrees, they can challenge the head judge to a duel and nominate one of their own as duelist. As Kyatha has won all her challenges during her term as head judge, this is only done if one of the houses wants to teach one of their own senators a lesson. The gnome senators are rarely challenged to a duel. It is considered bad manners and foolish to beat up a necromancer. If there is a point of debate the necromancers are expected to use their wits instead of their brawn. A Praes Thanatos senator got the right to nominate a champion in their stead but they consider it as option of last resort. All gnomish senators are proud of their debating skills and would rather back down than send in a champion. Only if the cause is important enough the Thanatos call in one of their Cestii bodyguards.</blockquote>
