Parliament of Strigifell
We might not be the strongest in terms of military power nor magical prowess... But people forget how lethal the truth is in political situations.The Parlaiment of Strigifell is the leading figures of Strigifell, responsible for upkeeping the essentials of the city itself. With their base of operations being the glancing spire, they rule over all major political decisions made within the city's walls and its neighbours.
Council of Owls
Assignment
Each member of the parlaiment is chosen through a vote of the rest of the seats. If two thirds agree upon the chosen member, they can be assigned to the table. Once assigned, each member serves for life or early retirement. Though in the several hundred years that the city stood, only a handful of them have retired rather than die during their periods. In a similar manner, the votes makes it difficult for anyone of non-syrinx decent to sit amongst them. Hence why in the public word, the parliament often gets called "the owl's nest". In recent years, such exclusivity of other races leads to debates with non-Syrinx citizens of Strigifell.Those that keep secrets
In association with the city's notority for gathering information, its parliament is responsible for also managing the exchanging of such knowledge. Not everything will be given or taken from every individual, at least not without a proper reason. Besides the usual decisions made by most heads of cities, the Parliament also ensures the regulation towards the Telltale society working amongst its borders and outside. In the same manners, they often make deals and affiliations with many of their neighbours at both sides of the mountain. Organisations that provide details about the world in exchange for assistance by the Parlaiment, though such alliances can be paper thin. For as much they are willing to protect powerful people, they might as well weaponise their knowledge about them. Hence why few truly trust them even if their work in close affiliation.
