The Landsraad
The Landsraad is the legislative body of Shireroth. It is primarily made up of the Dukes of the land, but over time has come to include the Barons of Shireroth. At one point Counts were also allowed into the Landsraad but this is no longer practiced.

The Landsraad is overseen by a Praetor who acts to organize, tally and close votes.
