The Consulate Court
The fifteen hallytyr that make up the Consulate Court were,
until the Sundering, comprised of the rulers of Ios in the
absence of the gods. Ostensibly they still are, though some
have been devastated to the point of all but nonexistence,
and the Consulate Court now struggles to govern a vastly
changed nation. Tracing their lineage back to the days of
Lyoss, each of the high houses was broadly in charge of one
aspect of Iosan society. In addition to the five Great Military
Houses, ten others were in charge of everything from trade
and commerce to construction and agriculture.
The political leader of each house received the title consul and served on the Consulate Court, representing not just the interests of the house itself but all of Ios. Each house also had a narcissar, though after the War of the Houses, most started using the humbler title of incissar instead—taken from the titles of the gods Lacyr and Ossyris, respectively, who were in charge of the house’s military assets. These roles were usually separate from the consul, though each house has reacted to the events of the Sundering in different ways, with some political leaders also taking direct control of what remains of the house’s standing army.
