The High Council

The High Council is ruling government of Lordamere and the emperor's senior council. It is one of the four councils of the Chancery. The High Council has direct control over the City of Crownhaven, but it also commands a great deal of military, diplomatic and economic influence over the entire empire. The entirety of the council is elected by the Chancery whenever the emperor dies, except for the role of Grand Steward, who is directly picked by the new emperor as a personal adviser. Members can also be elected if a seat becomes empty due to its previous holder either resigning or dying. 
Members of the Grand Council can be called to the stand by the Grand Arbiter for a vote of no confidence. The Arbiter oversees their trial if their loyalties are called into question. After members of the council mount a prosecution and defense, the Chancery votes on whether the minister will be dismissed or not.
A minister cannot be elected to multiple seats on the High Council.
