The Landsraad is the name given to the federal legislative body within the Imperial Republic of Shireroth (if the Kaiser isn't counted in). The members of the Landsraad gather in the Hall of Oratory of the Palace of Zirandorthel in Shirekeep.
About
The Landsraad is the federal legislative body of Shireroth. It is nowadays primarily made up of the nobles of the land, with some commoners thrown into the mix.
Leadership
The Landsraad is overseen by a Praetor who acts to organize, tally and close votes. Members of the Landsraad are known as Landsraad(wo)men or Lords/Ladies Elector.
The Prætor presides over the Landsraad in all matters. The Prætor is authorized to appoint a deputy prætor to assist the Prætor in matters that shall be delegated to the deputy. The Prætor may choose to appoint more than one deputy praetor, provided that in such instance there must be a hierarchy between the deputy praetors.
The Prætor may not vote unless to break a tie. Similarly, the deputy prætor may not vote when presiding unless it is to break a tie.
When the Landsraad has no Prætor in office, the Kaiser (or the Ruling Steward) or zir appointed deputy prætor presides, provided, however, that the Kaiser (or Ruling Steward) or zir appointed deputy has no vote except in ties in those proceedings.
Origin of Name
The word "Landsraad" is ultimately from the Danish, meaning 'council of the land'. It was imported via the Dune novels by Frank Herbert. In Dutch, a recognised language within Greater Audentior, it has the same meaning as in Danish.
