Talk:Frostgate

Empire

New Covenant - Capital City of Empire (Population: 20,000)
- Capital of the Empire. Nationwide government is centered here. (Diamond District.)
- Also has a city council and government like other cities. (Other District?)
Orok's Basin - Port City of the Empire (Population: 10,000)
- Center of The Expeditionary Force led by Cecil.
Concordia - New Covenants Sister City (Population: 5,000)

Severnaya - Head of State. Most powerful person in government, but not iron fist ruler.
- Macro Management
God-Blood Prefect -Severnaya's Assistant - Runs Empire when she is away.
Parliament - Representative body that does primary legislative duties. Has some overrule power on Severnaya and Severnaya has veto powers over it.
- .1% of Empire Population is Represented in Parliament. (35 Members at the start of the story.)
- In addition each City's City Council serves on Parliament. (15 Members at the start of the story.)
- Grows with the size of the Empire. Beginning size of 50 members.
- Severnaya has tie-breaking vote. Prefect can vote if she is on leave of absence.
City Council - Group of 5 political leaders who govern each city state in the Empire. The council has chief executive power in the city, some city wide legislative powers (such as banning birds from the city), and judicial overrule powers.
- All 5 members of the city council serve on the nation wide Parliament.
Magistrates - At least one per city as a law keeper. Chief judicial officer in city.
- Can appoint deputy magistrates with approval of city council.
Would Severnaya want there to be some sort of secret police? Something like the all seeing eye?

Trade and mining based economy with main resource being the mining of ore and feathersteal.

Not sure how religious of a city Severnaya would like this place to be, my guess is the population would worship the local gods by default. Given our Celestial orientation my guess is we have some worship to The Celestial Incarne and maybe the Dragons.
Not sure if there should be a religious leader or not, if one of us took up that roll my guess is Chronus is most suited for it.

Talk to Chronus about a Sorcery Academy.
Former Air Dragon Shrine - possibly sight of Sorcery Academy.
