The Chancery

The Chancery is the governing political and judicial body of the Kingdom of Lordamere. The Chancery is also a building located in Crownhaven that serves as the headquarters of the political institution. While the king rules Lordamere, the ministers and agents of the Chancery handle the nation's governance, political matters, and foreign affairs. The Chancery is also the nation's federal judicial institution. The High Ministers of the High Council rank among the institution's most influential politicians. The leader of the Chancery, the Chancellor, wields political power second only to that of the king. 
== The High Council ==
The High Council is the premier council within the Chancery, and the governing political body of all of Lordamere under the king. The High Council oversees the most important matters of politics and governance in the Chancery. Their purview is more general than those of the inferior councils. The High Council also decides on specific matters that would otherwise fall into an inferior council's jurisdiction, typically when they are of great importance or the matter is in dispute and is appealed to the High Council. The High Council is headed by the Chancellor, the leader of the entire Chancery and the head of government for all of Lordamere. Beyond the Chancellor and the nine High Ministers, High Council meetings are also attended by the six heads of the inferior councils.

== The War Council ==
The War Council is the executive military body of the Chancery. The council is responsible for coordinating military efforts, organizing war campaigns, and overseeing military expenditures. Seeing as Lordamere has no federal military, and instead contains numerous feudal militaries that respond to various local lords, the War Council technically commands no troops. However, the council is quite influential when it comes to military matters. The House Aldor military in particular is functionally commanded by the War Council. The War Council is headed by two ministers, the Grand Marshal and the Grand Admiral, both positions traditionally held by retired decorated commanders.
