Council for the Duchy
Council for the Duchy
Elwynn has the Council at Eliria, Kildare has the Seanad, Yardistan has the Diet. What does Brookshire have? Nothing. Therefore, I suggest that we create a council for the duchy. I want a good name (not Council, Seanad or Diet). A small prize will be awarded to the Brookshirian with the best suggestion.

Also, Straylight doesn't have anything either.

Corey, if you stun me with a perfectly brilliant proposal I might make an exception. And BTW, you did name Lakhesis, so don't complain.

Re: Council for the Duchy
Synod perhaps? I've always found that word nifty.
Or maybe...I'll want to save that one in case Ari ever wants to make a council in Straylight.

Too religious for me. Synod is used in the Swedish Lutheran Church.

Yeah, it does kind of have a religious overtone...

Re: Council for the Duchy
Well... technically so does Kehl. But it's obscure. and I don't care!
Re: Council for the Duchy
Never heard of Kehl. Therefore, it's okay.

Kehl is good because if you use it here it won't become a Lower/Baronial Chamber of the Landsraad.

Yeah, I've kinda given up on the lower chamber of Barons in the Landsraad.

Re: Council for the Duchy
The Midraad?It is Dutch(kinda) for Middle Council.
Re: Council for the Duchy
So, I've decided. The name of the new Brookshirian council is THE KEHL!
For the time being, access is restricted. There is a Charter for Brookshire on the way that will regulate who gets access to the Kehl.

Re: Council for the Duchy
Will this charter have the things we discussed?
Re: Council for the Duchy
We could do with a logo for the Kehl, I'm happy to make one if you want, just tell what sort of logo you want.

Yes, it will.Erik Mortis wrote:Will this charter have the things we discussed?
I would like something that incorporates elements from the Brookshire flag with elements that describes the Kehl's role, which will probably be both legislative and judicial. If you make me a design I like, there will be some Erbs in it for you.Kingsbury wrote:We could do with a logo for the Kehl, I'm happy to make one if you want, just tell what sort of logo you want.

Re: Council for the Duchy
That reminds me, the Landsraad has judicial power second to the Kaiser... I don't think we've ever used that power.
Re: Council for the Duchy
I hope you mean the Arbiter. If not, I don't see where in the laws the Landsraad is granted judicial powers.Erik Mortis wrote:That reminds me, the Landsraad has judicial power second to the Kaiser... I don't think we've ever used that power.

Re: Council for the Duchy
Maybe that was one of those traditional things... Before the Judex the Kaiser did all judicial stuff, but the Landsraad had the power to hold trial. Then the Landsraad made the Judex, granting judicial power to it. Then the Arbiter ended up in the Charter, but the Judex still gets its power from the Landsraad, since the laws for the Judex are in the Lawbook, putting the Landsraad above the Judex.

Re: Council for the Duchy
Why not have a coat-of-arms including the flags of all Baronies of Brookshire? That'd be relatively simple, I suppose.I would like something that incorporates elements from the Brookshire flag with elements that describes the Kehl's role
Re: Council for the Duchy
That would be more appropriate as a coat of arms for Brookshire I think. The Kehl will primarily be a legislative and judicial body, and I want that to show in the coat of arms. But, the coat of arms/flag could include a baronial coronet.

Re: Council for the Duchy
I'd suggest you run major Landsraad votes through the Kehl, so that constituent Barons of Brookshire can decide what the entire Duchy's vote on important matters can be. Then the Ducal representative- yourself, Mi'Lord- can pass that vote on to the Landsraad.
More democractic that way

Re: Council for the Duchy
Um? Democracy? Not in Brookshire. The Kehl is free to make its view known on Landsraad votes by passing a resolution. I might even wait to get that input. But the Landsraad vote is mine and mine alone. The Kehl is primarily for internal duchy matters.Maksym Hadjimehmetov wrote:I'd suggest you run major Landsraad votes through the Kehl, so that constituent Barons of Brookshire can decide what the entire Duchy's vote on important matters can be.
