The Current Structure of Government
It is with great pride that I, High King Torbjorn, have reinstated the Assembly of years past.Also referred as the “Thing”, “folkmoot” or “witan”, our Assembly is comprised of the elected officials of each earldom throughout our vast and proud nation. In the interest of “modernizing” in our views of democracy, we have modeled this electoral system in a way that extends more political freedom to the citizenry; a first for them in many years.
It should be of note that only the Assembly - not the people directly - may decide who bears the mantel of High King, and that these “elections” shall only occur upon the High King’s death. We may be transitioning back into an age of political freedom, but we will not surrender or traditions.
