Potentates

Guildhome Potentates were political figures in Baldur with the power of representing their Guildhomes. They had the power to choose members of the Ruling Council, though not all races with Guildhomes and Potentates were allowed to enter the Ruling Council. Each Guildhome had two Potentates. Potentates often also served on the Ruling Council or in the Senate. They also had some powers in enforcing law.
