Conclave of Lys

The Conclave of Magisters is the governing body of Lys, held by thirteen of the most powerful families in Lys. Though no one family holds more than three seats in the Magistrate, there have been several families in history that have held more than four seats at one time.

The Conclave decides the judicial, economic, and production policies in Lys. The seats are held for ten year terms, barring illness, or being voted off the Conclave. If one is relieved of their duty early, they may further appoint their successor, as to prevent rampant corruption.

The seat is otherwise elected, from a lower council of nobles within the city. Every freedman gets a chance to vote, but are heavily discouraged not to do so, leaving the nobles instead to vote for who they believe might best suit their interests.
