Aurzel has made an interesting point in the topic about Marcellus' actions against Shyraide. That perhaps we should have a smaller group of council members to arbitrate such difficult decisions and act on behalf of the greater council. Personally, I agree with this suggestion. This is partly as I believe a lot more organisation is needed amongst the champions of Athesia as we have now grown to the extent that often little is achieved in open discussions, and also partly as a higher authority is needed in some of these situations, and King Kiya has seemed to leave us to govern ourselves. As such, I would like to hear the opinions of the other champions, and Kiya himself. I propose an elder council formed of the heads of each organisation (or at least a representative of each organisation where the head is absent or in an organisation of equals like the scholars colleges). The group would have only the powers that the champions as a whole agreed to give it, and that Kiya approved. I am aware that I am in essence putting myself forward for this group, so I would be particularly interested to hear the thoughts of those that might not be included. Further, should the elder council be even smaller? One representative from each legend perhaps? A group of that size could also greatly facilitate trade and cooperation between the legends. We could also have some sort of scheme whereby the representatives in the elder council are changed out every now and then, or whatever. Thoughts everyone? Markus. |

I believe that the group should be set up based on legends not organisations as some people are not part of an organisation and they shouldn't be excluded because of that. |

We could use the legends meetings before each great gathering of champions to select an elder for our legend to serve for the year? |

Perhaps efforts should be made to have a representative of each region or other-worlder group and of each legend where they could be lap over to achieve both of these things to form a council of seven. |

I think using 2 criteria to select members would make things complicated. better to pick one and stick to it. I could see either working, however the legends are more balanced and less numerous than the regions/races. The real questions is whether you believe someone could be selected from your legend who is capable of considering all of the races, all of the organisations, all of the peoples evenly and unbiasedly to come to the best ruling for every athesian. |

E.g. Dargan for TT and the God Curse Mountains, Markus for the KoTMF and Dark Plains, Varis for Legends of Liadon and the Broken Lands, Asthvan for the Wastes and his organisation, plus one organisation leader from the Fey Woods. Add a few more and we have a varied, representative council made up of all areas and many races. Kel |

Indeed and perhaps your self and roshanna to represent the dragonborn and deva respectively who I'd wager have very unbiased views on athesian politics. Which would leave us with 7 Which is I think about the perfect number for this as the uneven total and being no divisible by three will always end in some majority vote.

I agree with Markus on the subject of having some smaller group to decide things. This year particularly we have had a problem with disunity between people, even within legends. My concern therefore is with the idea of choosing people from legends, with this kind of disunity, especially within the lords (for example). We just need representatives for larger groups, so the idea of a merge between organisations, regions and legends might be the best bet? ((Edit: Actually scratch this, I like the ideas posted while I was typing... Lol.)) Edited by Ceryndra Silverflame, 13 Mar 2012, 16:19.

Hmm... selecting by origin does seem reasonable. 7 seems a fairly good number. |
