Regency Council of Keoland

The Regency Council of Keoland, more often known simply as the Council of Keoland, is the current ruling body of Keoland. The Regency Council was assembled in response to King Kimbertos Skotti's sudden illness. After several weeks of sickness that no Priest or Cleric could find the cure for, King Skotti collapsed at his throne after a long day of court. Barely responsive, King Skotti was declared incapable by the Court Physician.
Several of the members are high-ranked lords and powerful merchants who stepped forward to nominate themselves. It's said these members called in almost every favor they had, and were all named as members of the Council. Those that they saw as barriers were quickly removed, either by random and frantic "resignation" further "sickness" and even "tragedies."

Structure

Lord Speaker

The Lord Speaker is the lead member of the Regency Council. All votes, decisions, and propositions must go through the Lord Speaker. Without support of the Speaker, no decision or vote may be brought to the Council. The Lord Speaker also sits on a Regent's Throne during Court, and hears concerns/complaints from the populace. The current Lord Speaker is Alexander Valkin.

Council Members

There are five members of the Regency Council. Each was nominated by members of court and elected to their post. The post serves until the member resigns, dies, or is voted out by the rest of the Council. The post may also end once a monarch is able to return to the Keoish Throne.

Lord Brunwyn Stoneshatter (Male Dwarf)
