## The Vacant Principality of the Cypress Crown District

Following a particularly blood campaign of succession, and after decades of fractious unrest with the Pirate Princes Court, the Lord Mayor of Esson decreed that the eleventh chair of the Pirate Princes, representing the Cypress Crown District, would remain vacant. This shifted the balance of power to the Lord Mayor, as his role as President within court was to provide a overruling vote in times of a stalemate. By lowering the number of votes within the Court to twelve, the Lord Mayor ensured greater influence over the Princes, as he because the ultimate swing vote in most political matters.

The Cypress Crown district also became the de facto capitol of the Court, with the Court holding their meetings in the former Manse of the Cypress Crown Prince, now known as the Court of the Cypress Crown.

Now the Cypress Crown district is governed by a council of local captains, elected every four years. The Council of the Cypress Crown has no political power within the Court, but the the Princes of the Court, who often have second manses within the Cypress Crown district rarely, if ever, enact laws which negatively impact the district.
