Evanwyn

## The Nation of Evanwyn

The Kingdom of Evanwyn has always been, at least that’s what they would have you believe. In truth Evanwyn was one of the earliest nation-states founded following the Divergence of the gods and can trace it’s roots back well into the Age of Arcanum. It is a parliamentary monarchy of sorts, ruled over by the Council of Nine and the King, which is appointed by the Council. As a central trading hub for most of the world, it is highly cosmopolitan and accepting of nearly all races, so long as they can behave themselves.

Patron Deity of Evanwyn: Tyr and Pelor

### Government

**The Monarchy:** King Bertrum Regus III, a strong and respected King who was elected to the throne after his father stepped aside due to poor health. His father, Bertrum II served as an advisor for several years until his death.  The Monarch is elected by the Council of Nine and serve until their death, they abdicate, or they are removed by a 2/3 vote of the Council.

**The Council:** Established shortly after the founding of Evanwyn following the Divergence to curtail any excesses of the Throne, the Council was given nine seats to represent the holiest of numbers, representing the nine Divines. The Council is divided into three Tables each with three seats. The Tables are known as the Table of Commons, with three representatives elected from among the commoners, the Table of Lords, with three representatives elected from among the nobility, and finally the Table of Overseers, with a seat given to the leaders of the Temple of the Nine, the Cobalt Soul and the Circle of Magi. Elected positions can serve for up to three term of six years each with one of the seats elected every year, or until the death or retirement of a council member, in which case a special election will be held. The seats dedicated to the Overseers are not elected, and therefore they will serve so long as they hold their position in their respective organizations.
