Political System

Political System : Each Realm has its own method of selecting a High Lord; some may seem more primitive, while others may seem quite progressive.

Carna : Election; popular vote from city/town representatives.

Lamehn : Independently chosen by Clan Leaders of the Merchants Guild.

Sharq : Chosen by current High Lord. Method different every decade.

Mushaal : Monarchy.

Dashaan : Election; popular vote of all realm residents.

Shamaal : Arcane Trials, hosted by the Mages' School.

Sifar : Unknown, even among the candidates, takes place in the jungle depths.

Each of the Seven Realms has three political representatives, including the High Lord. When Empire-wide bills and laws are put to a vote, it is between those 21 representatives to decide.

The three representatives of these realms that do cast these votes are the High Lord, and two Margraves selected by him from among his Vidame.
