Council Of Thanes

[Kralek 519]

Council of Thanes

 

In the decline and eventual absence of the previous government, the Triumvirate, the Adunian people have deemed it to be a failure and have so forth conglomerated to abolish this former atrocious state. Under the previous state, the collapse of the infrastructure of Adunia along with the near disintegration of the entire Adunian people occurred due to the negligence of the former government. Henceforth, the Adunian people have decided to reinstitute the Council of Thanes to rule over it’s great people in the absence of a true Lord. Said council will rule over all matters that incorporate and include the Kingdom of Adunia until the Council of Thanes have established a new Lord to rule over the Kingdom, which the members of the Council of Thanes deem to be proper, successful, and competent to rule.

Arnorian, Lord of Adunia takes note.

 

"...Wat. ...I invented this system in Kalos, and it destroyed my country, now they do it by themselves?!"

 

 

"Perhaps with people who do not constantly switch sides and spread lies, this system would work Arnorian."

 

Frederick says, crossing his arms

 

"You need loyalists in a council system, as one councilor can easily abuse such providing system. Just because your reign failed, does not mean all your descendants will. The speaking rubbish of your kind and then claiming to be a loyalist is just Foalian hypocracy, pick a side!"
