Silver Assembly
The Silver Assembly is the governing body of the Northern Canton of the Kirinal Concordance Zone. The Northern Canton or Zone is most commonly called the Silver Slice. Made up of a grouping of mages, artificers, scholars, influential houses, and merchants, the Assembly administrates the affairs of the Canton, Tower Town, the Northern Gate, and Chagroth's Tower.
As the home of the Orrery of Worlds and the Navigator of Worlds, the Assembly holds great influence over the other members of the Concordance.
Members of the Silver Assembly
When the Concordance was first formed, these nations and organizations united together under the direct leadership of Chagroth Durinhelm. All of these groups were founded by the Navigator of Worlds or tied to him in some manner. They carry on in his name as he leads the great work of choosing the Manifest every dawn.
- The Duchy of Silver Range
- Carved from the wild Silver Range in the previous millenium by Chagroth, this mountain realm contains the home of the leading Maharlitech research center in the world: Magus Valley.-
- Wizard's Peak University
- The world's preeminent school of magic was also founded by Chagroth in the Silver Range. That Duchy grew up around the university to house and service its students and staff.
- The Royal Duchy of Taristrae
- The home of the Sovranty of Lozar's capital, New Kirinal. This Duchy sits at the mouth of the Kirinal River and is the main destination for goods heading south out of the Zone.
- The Barony of Greystone
- The ancestral home of the Lords of Greystone who were Chagroth's main agents in the time between the Kirinal Catastrophes.
- Kingdom of Corgi
- This small border nation sits between the Sovranty and their traditional rivals in Ta-Arma and Borthakar. It is ruled by descendants of the Lords of Greystone.
Structure of the Assemblage
Each member of the Assembly appoints a representative, by various means, to speak for them. Together, the Assembly deliberates on internal matters pertaining to governance of the Northern Canton. They also choose a "Silver Chancellor" from their number who sits on the Council of Eight, the governing body of the Zone.
The Assembly meets monthly to deliberate, debate, and conduct government business. Chagroth himself stays out of their business as he is preoccupied with navigating the world along the Great Wheel. Although he has no formal role in the Assembly, they have been known to bow to his will if has to take an interest in matters of the Zone.
Influence and Relationships
Within the Concordance, the Silver Assembly usually finds itself most closely aligned with the Kirinal Council (Western Canton) and the Oath of Anam (Eastern Canton). These other two Cantons represent the bulk of Lozar within which the Zone is located. They usually agree with the Tortoise Conclave and Thaya's Vindicators on most, but not all matters. They have a non-hostile rivalry with Winter's Voice and are often completely opposed to the High Table and the Magister's Dominion.
