Tribrenen (tree-brehn-in)
The Tribrenen are three metal humanoids that were created around 185 years ago to run the city of Kort so the other people could focus on crafting and inventing new technologies. Each was created in the image of a different humanoid race, but with odd features and quirks that the gnomish creators thought would be funny.
The three members of the Tribrenen share executive and legislative power in the city, though each has their own purpose and specific job under that. They are aided in their policy creation and enforcement by a large team of bureaucrats whose entire purpose is listening to citizens and trying to come up with solutions to their problems. Once a solution is drafted, the Tribrenen discuss it and apply their individual experiences and "lenses" to its study before voting whether to adopt the new law or policy. It only takes two of the three votes to pass something, though things not passed unanimously must be re-assessed each year until they are either removed or become satisfactory enough to receive unanimous approval.
Marshall is the public face of the Tribrenen and the one responsible for enforcing the city's laws, as well as conducting speeches and other ceremonies. They are charismatic and relatable, having been designed as an orator and great leader. They were modeled after the tiefling race, though they gnomish creators thought it would be funny to give them a mullet and mustache. Marshall is loved by the people of Kort - as are the other Tribrenen - and takes their role as "The Face of the City" very seriously. Clark is responsible for writing and issuing permits to various crafters and businesses in the city, as well as documenting the history of the city. They work very closely with the city's bureaucratic corps to draft laws and make them airtight and understandable. The permits and writs for the city of Kort all come from Clark, who is able to embue a bit of magic in each one to verify legitimacy and proper ownership. Clark was modeled after an elf, though the gnomish creators gave them a flamboyant goatee and the fashion sense of most nobles. Arguably the most unique and interesting of the Tribrenen is Abbott, who is the legal and religious representative. Their main job is overseeing the judicial happenings of Kort, which includes presiding over appeals and serious criminal trials, as well as reviewing lower judges' decisions periodically to ensure fairness and determine promotions or raises. Abbott also oversees the temples and workshops of the city, as both are deeply tied to the religious framework of the city. Though Abbott does not have a dedicated deity, they closely align with both Eamon, who represents order and justice, and Zyntrani, who represents creativity and craftsmanship.
