High Council

The High Council is the legislative and ruling body of the Kretingan Order, a convoluted mess composed of representatives from each member nation. Most representatives are Dukes or Princes, though others are simply well respected warriors who have been given a seat. This haphazard manner of governance makes leading the infantile nation through a war for existence difficult, as each man wants something different and there is truly no higher body to oversee the war effort. The man with the most say is the representative of Kretinga, known as the High Councillor. His votes count for thrice as much as any others, and his word is usually well respected enough for other representatives to simply listen. This is not always the case, however, and the High Council may bicker for days on end while Kretingan armies are crushed by the Sons of the Flame.
