The Landsraad

The Landsraad is the name given to the highest legislative body within the Imperial Republic of Shireroth (if the Kaiser isn't counted in). The members of the Landsraad gather in the Landsraad Building in Shirekeep.

The Landsraad

The Landsraad is the legislative body of Shireroth. It is primarily made up of the Counts of the land. The Landsraad is overseen by a Praetor who acts to organize, tally and close votes.

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.

Current Composition

The Landsraad is currently composed of all (lower and higher) nobles of Shireroth. This means that every citizen with a county can vote and discuss matters in the Landsraad.

The older system only allowed the Dukes to vote. While there is a call to reintroduce that kind of composition, it's proposed to stay with the current composition of the Landsraad and introduce a council of Dukes which can veto Landsraad decisions.
