g. Nobles-Equestrian shall be granted two votes, and Nobles-Civitas shall be granted one vote. The Patron of Kalir has no votes but may overturn or support a Council decision regardless of the votes provided that his powers are not limited by a previous Council decision (i.e. impeachment).
What's a reasonable new system? Remember, we still want there to be tiers, it's not like we're building an egalitarian society or anything. :evil

Sufficient?

That's 2/4. We need one more to make it official. Iskander, show yourself! Or Aryeztur...

Iskander, Aryeztur & Harald ought to be expelled if they fail to show up to vote for this. Just a thought.

I'm not a Jarl so I cannot vote on this. :document

Okay, an Iskander is having permissions difficulties (that's Ari's department) as well as Harald being un-jarled.

So basically the Jarl of Parvatvana is a dead man. Happy days.

Not especially - but the need for a public crucifixion has passed.

Once the Steward has declared the vote over, the change shall be assented to.

Vote is over, crisis averted. Although you are perfectly allowed to preside over the Council yourself, Your Grace.
