The Forum
The Forum is the primary governing body of The City, formed from representatives of The City's various ministries as well as the public, and led and arbitrated by the chief official office of The Steward.
The City is predominantly run by a number of ministries that organise and advocate for their given purviews. Each ministry is comprised of several representatives from within their respective fields, and is responsible for the policies and education of their field. Inter-ministry matters, external matters, or those concerning The City at large, are brought before The Forum.
The Forum is comprised of representatives from each ministry as well several nominated community members, and presided over by The Steward. The Steward determines what matters are on the agenda, acts as an arbitrator for discussions and debates, establishes the final form of any proposal based on the input of The Forum, and has final say on the outcome. Though not required, with very few historical exceptions, the final determination is generally put to a vote of The Forum.
The premises of The Forum are located in a prominent position within the Residential District of the Third Level. It consists of two buildings. The first is a large, ring-shaped outer building that contains offices, record halls, meeting areas, and amenities. The second is a small circular building within the interior courtyard. This building contains the chambers of The Forum itself; a tiered, circular chamber that hosts the governmental meetings of its members and representatives.
