Brass Landsmeet

The Brass Landsmeet was a yearly meeting called each year in order to discuss the civil matters of the Brass Kingdom. It was abolished in 2S 72 by King Trumpet I.

## Overview

The Brass Landsmeet was a yearly meeting that took place in the Brass Kingdom, gathering up prominent noble families in order to collectively discuss civil matters as well as the creation of new laws. This system, similar to how the Percussion Kingdom worked, was put in place in order to make sure that the monarch wouldn't have absolute power over the entire kingdom. The monarch instead would have complete control over the military while also being able to provide input on civil matters alongside other noble families who would attend the meeting. However. the monarch would not have power over the other families, meaning that new laws could be passed even if the monarch disagreed with them, should the other members agree on it.

Unlike the Percussion High Council, the noble families only meet once a year and will usually stray away from creating factions on anything other than family. Like the Percussion High Council however, members of the Brass Landsmeet can appoint a new ruler if a king dies with no heir. Interestingly, the Brass Landsmeet takes place on the same day of the Brass Kingdom's founding.

## Abolishment & Backlash

Prior to the reign of King Trumpet I, the Brass Landsmeet was the sole political system of the Brass Kingdom, having been created alongside the kingdom itself. However, when a civil war between the Trumpet family and the ruling Trombone family ended with the Trumpets taking control of the kingdom, the Brass Landsmeet would be one of the first things to go as part of King Trumpet I's reforms, which King Trumpet I claimed would help the Brass Kingdom combat threats. Alongside the abolishment of the Brass Landsmeet was the total empowerment of the monarchy, meaning that King Trumpet I would have absolute control over all parts of the kingdom, including civil affairs and the making of new laws.

Several noble families who were once part of the Brass Landsmeet were upset by their sudden loss of power, which caused them to side with the Trombones in order to bring back the Brass Landsmeet, among other reasons. This would eventually snowball into a guerilla war between the Trumpets and Trombones that would eventually end in 2S 95 when King Trombone IX passed away, causing support for the family to vanish. As for the general public, the transferral of power to the monarch was extremely controversial. Many would immigrate to the Percussion Kingdom, whos political system was much more akin to the Brass Landsmeet.

In the events of *Tuba Warriors*, while the Brass Landsmeet is still gone, there is still a council of nobles and prominent figures that discuss the important matters of the Brass Kingdom alongside the monarch, namely the High Tuba Council. This council is not made up of noble families and does not meet once a year, instead meeting more often whilst being made up of prominent figures such as Tuba High Priest or Cone Man (formerly), as well as nobles who are loyal to the monarch, which is currently King Tuba II. This council meets together in order to discuss both civil and military affairs, including the making of new laws, although the monarch will often have much more influence here.
