In addition to it's own needs, the Committee of Athelos is responsible for administering the towns of Beanherd, Gallion, Dogsville, and Interlude. This means they control the most productive agricultural area in Klai. The economic benefits of this situation guarantee that Athelos will always play a major role in Federation politics. The Mayor also possesses significant executive power, although it is limited by Federation law and the Reformed Constitution of Athelos. The Elementalist Wind sect appoints 5 members The League of Magi appoints 8 members The Racial Minority Committee appoints 6 members Senate The Senate of Athelos, made up of 77 Senators.
Senators come only from the nobility and serve for life.
Most seats are hereditary, although a recent trend has seen political appointments grow in popularity. The Mayor of Athelos appoints new Senators. The only duty of the Senate is to approve, reject, or amend legislation that has been written by the Athelos City Congress. As a result of this democratic past a seemingly innocuous item in the Reformed Constitution of Athelos permits an popular election to take place. In order to become Mayor of Athelos, an individual candidate must have a majority of the votes in the City Congress.
