The Landsraad is the highest and oldest legislative body in Shireroth. Presided over by the Prætor (currently Tinker Sprocket, Count of Machinaria), 13 imperial electors meet in the Hall of Oratory in the Palace of Zirandorthel in Shirekeep to make laws, elect the Steward, and make important resolutions. Compared to the Adelsraad, the Folksraad, and the legislative powers of the Steward, the Landsraad is the most powerful body of them all.

Members

Members of the Landsraad sit in order of rank with the Prætor having the position of honour. When not presiding, the Prætor sits on his personal seat. There are some seats vacant for new members or for visiting guests.

Landsraad Rule

The Landsraad has at various times in Shireroth's history (briefly) ruled the country in lieu of the Kaiser, usually when the Golden Mango Throne was vacant after the demise or abdication of the Sovereign Lord of Shireroth and the Landsraad was in the process of electing the next Kaiser.
