The Magisterium
Structure
Every two years each district in the @Royal City of Knotside with a qualifying population holds a race to decide on who to vote for as their Magistrate. Anybody can run so long as they are at least sixteen years of age, and a resident of the district they run for. The person with the most votes becomes Magistrate for that district until the next election, and aids in city wide decision making by attending the meetings of The Senate.
Public Agenda
To give all citizens of Knotside a voice by allowing them to vote for a Magistrate who represents the district, its citizens, and its ideals. Help create laws, manage taxes, expenditures, and various problems the Royal City faces on a daily basis.
Assets
The entire Slate Book district is dedicated to the Magisterium and its meeting places, including vaults, government buildings, and many stables.
History
The Magisterium was founded after Knotside expanded after its revolution. The sharp increase of population meant that governing themselves was becoming harder as so many people all had opinions of how the country should be ran. The then king @Barnabus decided it was more important for the people to have power in their cities government than for the King to have absolute power. He created this branch of government so that all citizens had a choice, and to always make sure that the monarchy would never become cruel with their power like the kingdoms before them had.
