Lore: Council of Lyons

"This council's main goal is to ensure the peace and stability of Osea"
The Council of Lyons, is a group of various lords, regents, duke's and duchess from across the lands of Drangleic. Every once a year they meet in Angelholm's council chambers to preside over political matters of the land and to ensure what laws are and should be necessary and of course, laws that are unconstitutional. Plus to hear civil court matters that people may have.

This council was established after the death of the High Queen. Without any royal blood to rule the throne, a various group of people gather together and formed this council, with the facade that they have royalty in them, when in actuality they are just regular common folk, eventually word got out and soon, a power struggle of common folk and royal alike occurred but only for a brief time till Eden Oda officially recognized them as equals. As she states, "This council was created by the common man, while we of our noble birth fought against each other for scraps of land. Today! on this day! the caste system is no more, we are just about as equal to a farmer and a shopkeeper rather than some god or ancient hero".

The people who sat on this council are elected for life positions, and are appointed personally by the ruler of Drangleic.

If stalemates were to occur, then a special session called "Conclave" was to be held against the two factions. One pro group and One con group while the king or queen presides over the meeting along with her advisers and the Lord Chancellor in a locked room within the palace as they debate over the issue once and for all. With the leadership of Eden Oda, Conclave rarely happens if not at all.
