The order of the golden snow
The order of the golden snow is the democratic organisation that is responsible for overseeing both the city of Wintrow and the College of Wintrow they are the only major city to run on this system. The organisation is a panel of prolific men and women who have professional standing in society, they might be professors and faculty of the school, leaders of the guilds- such as the engineers guild, noblefolk and politicians. The election to the order takes place every five years and coincides with the terms of the colleges’ selection for headmaster, of which the order is also designated to either extend the term of the previous head master or select someone new, the current headmaster has been running on four consecutive terms.
At any given time there are around twelve members on the board who all oversee various agendas, meetings for the order are arranged on a fortnightly basis in which all of the board are summoned to the town hall in Wintrow. During this time all of the important matters are attended to, in order for an action to be taken all members of the board must be in agreement with no veto or abstain. Due to the black and white nature of decision making burocracy is a slow machine hindered by its own importance. In the event that they have been summoned by King Arvid thew will elect four amongst them to attend.
To say that the board is representative of the people of Wintrow is a stretch as there is a specific form of person who is invited to join again and again these are people who are charismatic, wealthy and ideally from nobility. Their job is to protect their interests first and the interests of the people second. Wintrow isn't run badly across the board but it is run complacently and change is at times frustratingly slow.
