==About==

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.

The word "Landsraad" is ultimately from the Danish, meaning 'council of the land'. It was imported into Shireroth via the ''Dune'' novels by Frank Herbert. In Dutch, a recognised language within [[Greater Audentior]], the word Landsraad has the same meaning as in Danish.
