The Predominant
The Predominant is the Leader of the Congregation of Partricians.
When the previous Predominant dies the Thousandfold Families gather together in a Moot to vote on a new Predominant. The Votes can take days and even months as gaining a majority of electors from the THousandfold Families is no easy task. Once the Electors are gained and the Predominant is chosen their City of residence becomes the new pseudo capital of the Congregation. The Predominant then gains a stippend payment in taxes from each of the voting Electors each year. This stippend is to pay for the combined defense and infastructure projects needed by the various City States, Guild Halls, Temples, Trade Routes, and the like that make up the Congregation of Patricians and the Thousandfold Families that rule them. While the Predominant does gain a stippend in practice, many times they must use force of mercenary or personal army to keep the various personalities in line that make up the Thousandfold Families. This also is to keep them from infighting and petty wars and grievences.
Many Times a weak Predominant has seen the Congregation fall to infighting, only to be deposed and a new stronger Predominant arises to take the position.
