Conclave of Myr

The Conclave of Myr governs the mercantile city, and is comprised of fifteen magister seats currently held by eight of the most wealthy families of Myr. Throughout history, parity has reigned, and no one family has ever held more than three seats in the Magistrate.

The Conclave decides the judicial, economic, and production policies in Myr. The magister seats are held for for life, or until voted off by the Conclave. If one perishes, falls gravely ill, or is relieved of their position, the Conclave votes whether to allow the seat to be claimed by a family successor, or to allow the freed citizenship to elect a new magister.

Freed citizens elect new magisters through voting factions that represent markets of trade, religious faiths, or cultural groups. Often these factions incorporate multiple interests within their ranks.

The Conclave
Fifteen seats represent the Conclave, with the Prince-Admiral as it's uncontested head. As of 438 AC, several families of old blood, as well as some that have found prominence within the last few decades sit the council. The fifteen seats are filled by:

The Prince-Admiral
Once solely the commander of the city's military, in light of recent events, the position of Prince-Admiral has evolved into a more despotic-type role with sole command over the city's military, economic, and social affairs. Traditionally the position is filled from the ranks of the wealthy magisterial families of Myr. As result of the changes to the position, the Prince-Admiral no longer suffers the checks and balances that their predecessor used to, yet even so, as consequence of the position having quite recently altered so drastically, as to whether the official elected to it serves for life or until otherwise removed is yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the last two Prince-Admirals have both been relieved of their command via their own passings.
