The Archonic Council

[Monkee 7369]

 

Preoccupied by the burdensome tasks that lie ahead as the Snow Elven people recover, it is fitting that delegation is implemented wherever possible, and so a measure of the bloodlines’ ancient power shall be restored to them. It is thus that the Archonic Council is called to formation.

Signed,

Vytrek Tundrak

Prince of Fenn

 

Composition

The Archonic Council shall consist of a Saneyir for each Snow Elven bloodline (and Fennic High Elven talonii, Fennic Dark Elven clan, or Fennic Wood Elven seed) considered by the Prince/Princess to be organized and numerous enough to deserve representation.

 

Each bloodline/talonii/clan/seed invited to the Archonic Council shall have their Saneyir appointed by their Archon; this Saneyir must be a member of the bloodline, and can include the Archon themself.

 

The Archonic Council shall include a Saneyir to represent those without a bloodline, to be elected by citizens without a bloodline.

 

The Archonic Council shall also include the High Vigilant of Wyrvun as a Saneyir to give representation to the Order in Fennic Law.

 

The Archonic Council shall be overseen by the Halerir of Fenn.

 

 

Elections

The Saneyir of the Bloodless shall serve one term of four years, whereupon a new election shall be held at least one year in advance of the end of the term.

 

Only citizens of Fenn who do not belong to a represented bloodline/talonii/clan/seed may vote for the Saneyir of the Bloodless, or assume candidacy for the role.

 

Candidacies may be announced at any point until voting begins.

 

The Halerir of Fenn shall be responsible for managing elections.

 

 

Powers

All powers of the Archonic Council are delegated by the Prince/Princess. The Prince/Princess may overrule and/or veto decisions made by the Archonic Council at any time, as well as unilaterally perform the Archonic Council’s duties.

 

The Archonic Council shall, unless overruled, hold authority over the law - to include adding laws, removing laws, modifying laws, and passing judgment over Section 1 of the Legal Code.

 

The Archonic Council shall act as an advisory body to the Prince/Princess on all other affairs of state, and may thus pass decrees urging the Prince/Princess to action on such matters.

 

 

General Procedure

All decisions of the Archonic Council shall be decided by a simple majority vote. Abstentions shall be excluded from the overall count necessary for a majority.

 

Each Saneyir shall possess one vote. One individual shall not possess more than one Saneyir role.

 

The Halerir shall possess no vote, and be tasked with mediating discussion and calling annual meetings. The Halerir may not also simultaneously be a Saneyir.

 

Any Saneyir may call for the Archonic Council to convene, and the Halerir must convene them within one year of the call.

 

A Saneyir may be sacked by their Archon at any time.

 

Each Saneyir may appoint another of their bloodline/talonii/clan/seed to temporarily stand in their stead for a given meeting, to exercise the full powers of a Saneyir.

 

The temporary stand-in for the Saneyir of the Bloodless must be qualified as a candidate for the post.

 

If a Saneyir fails to show at more than one meeting in a single four year term, even when appointing a temporary stand-in, it shall be at the discretion of the Halerir to dismiss them from the role on the grounds of neglect.

 

Absent a Saneyir or stand-in, a bloodline/talonii/clan/seed shall have no vote.

 

A tied vote shall be settled by duel, subject to the laws on dueling, whereby each voting bloc shall appoint one of their Saneyiran as a champion. If a voting bloc cannot come to a majority decision on who the bloc’s champion shall be, they forfeit.

 

 

Legal Procedure

The Halerir (or an appointed deputy if unavailable) shall preside over trial procedure.

 

Trials before the Archonic Council shall see the offended party list the alleged crimes of the accused and make their case, to be followed by a defense from the accused.

 

Evidence may be presented, and Saneyiran may ask questions of prosecutors, defendants, and/or witnesses as they see fit.

 

When prepared, the Archonic Council shall openly debate, before voting upon a verdict.

 

Thereafter, the Archonic Council shall debate punishments. When ready, a Saneyir may propose a complete list of punishments via motion, to then be voted upon by the Archonic Council. If no penal set can pass the vote and gridlock is reached, defined by an hour of debate without resolution, the Halerir may unilaterally enact punishment.
