Corporation of Gathetoken
Gathetoken is the Chief City of the County of Abgathe. It is administered by the Warders of the Corporation of Gathetoken who meet in the Old Walls Citadel's Great Hall.
Structure
Membership
The 46 Warders are: -- High-Priests of Water and Trade (2)
- Priests of War, Knowledge, Light, Fire, Aethyr, Death* (6)
- Priestesses of Harmony*, People, Earth, Aethyr** (4)
- Guildmasters of Metalworkers, Spicers, Woodworkers, Tanners, Jewellers, Masons and Clothworkers (7)
- 2 representatives appointed from each of the 13 Districts within the walls excluding Citadel (26)
- 1 representative of the High King of Bytyr(1)
** Doesn’t usually appear at the meetings.
The Warders also have the right to send two advisors to the High-King’s court.
Appointment
The High King of Bytyr appoints his one representative at whim.
The District Warders are appointed by the Cotholders of the District - excluding the Religious Institutions. The quaint election process makes their various appointments a major event in the city.
The Religious and Guild Warders are seats granted to the holder of the High-Priest, Priest or Guildmaster roles of the recognised institutions. The appointment of people to these roles are each unique in nature.
The control of the city is a process that is decided by the control of the 46 Warders. Getting the "Right" person elected is a process that is fraught with family and district rivalries, religious controversies and power politics.
