Military Council of Netehdrez
Small Council
The Military Council of Netehdrez has the especially daunting task to take care of the only above-ground entries of the Mori'tarna as well as train the future soldiers that protect the drow of Mori'tarna from all the outside threats. This mission is not an easy one and the death of last Mother of Moonlight, Nathafayna Moondancer, has made the council only more restless.
Structure
Structure of the Small Councils in Mori'tarna
As Matron Councils must deal with several topics, Matron Councils accept four Small Councils among the most prestigious Houses that influence the area. These small councils are devoted to matters of Clerical nature, Arcane, Commerce, and Military. Clerical Council is considered as the most prestigious one and Arcane Council as a close second. These councils can make minor decisions on their own and are responsible for drafting proposals and investigating matters for the rest of the Matron Council considering their specific topic of expertise. Twelve member families sit on each Small Council.
The same family can have a seat in multiple of these small councils, and even have a seat in both Netehdrez and Zaetron Derraz, but never in the same Small Council. It is not possible for the same family to have two seats in Arcane Council, for example, even if those seats are in different cities. I order to have a seat in a city; the house must have at least some of its members living and working in said city. Different metrics are used to count influence for each of the Small Councils, but among the drow of Mori'tarna, those families able to hold seats for extended periods are considered nobility. They have a very specific pedigree and wealth, and the seats can stay in the family for generations.
The member families are ranked by their influence, making the most powerful one the holder of the chairwoman title and most of the votes of their Small Council. Higher the ranking, more authority the family has on the decisions, making several smaller houses rally behind bigger ones to get their voices heard.
Public Agenda
During the cold war with Empire of Islenor, Netehdrez stood as only obstacle between their foes and the Holy City, and even in this time of peace, this attitude has not left the city, as it ties back to oaths the first Mother of Shadows gave to Mother of Moonlight.
Besides the typical duties of the military force, Military Council of Netehdrez is responsible for the Thalack Nost, great headquarters of Yanta Menohtar, which trains the fresh soldiers in to force of nature they are known as.
Basic functions of the Military Council
The ruthless nature of Underdark with the dark Llothian past of the drow have made the the Children consider order and and security very seriously. Military Council works as the board of the regional segment of Yanta Menothar and function as main law officials in smaller criminal cases were whole of the Matron Council is not required. Military Council makes assessments about public security, troops and their arms and other practical factors like methods, practices, and supplies.
Member families of the Military Councils have large presentation of the members of their house in Yanta Menothar with significant titles, together with large involvement to arm, train and otherwise upkeep that force. Because of the dangerous nature of involvement in the Yanta Menothar, Military Council tends to be more subjected to member changes than the other Small Councils.
