[Inglemia] 5 Element Majors - Final

Attending: Martel - Greg

The Inglemian Constitutional Convention finally happened.  Martel was able to negotiate a lot of good will and get the factions to hold it in Inglemia.  There were five Noble House factions, Sosori, Yontor, Ohigattan, Segglestaff and Lamplighter, and four Canton factions, Northport, Charport, Blueport and Perport.  In the end, this is what they came up with (summary)

Article I: The Dogeship remains intact as does the Inglemian senate.  The Doge commands the military and is the "head of state" of each Canton.
Article II: The senate retains its powers and privileges.  The Cantons now form a conclave of which 2/3rds can remove the Doge, but must also sacrifice their seats.  The replacement Doge (of the same house selected by the Senate) selects the new members of the Conclave.
Article III: Nobles from each house get 1% of the land of each Canton of their choice.  Anything more than this retained by them is up to the House and the Canton.  The houses retain their holdings in the trade network and can issue licences, which means those Cantons wanting access to the trade network would do well to work with the houses.
Article IV: The rights and priviledges of Inglemian citizens will be extended to all Canton citizens within the Inglemian Republic, but pure citizens must still earn that right by service in the military.
Article V: Courts.  Inglemian nobles are still tried in Senate court.  Military members are tried in military courts.  Commoners and citizens are tried in Canton > Conclave > Gendremain courts, with the Gendremain still selected by the citizens at large of Inglemia.

Other things of note: Their mission (unknowingly) completed) the tattoos of the 5 element majors vanish, save the third which allowed them to communicate.  Martel retained his item summoning tattoo as well.

Bjorn has secured the North for the most part.  It is still quite wild and will require a lot of work but it and his heirs have a legacy.

Auronos was able to find his mother and kill the bastard who killed his father and sold her into slavery.  With his remaining influence, he was able to get the Cloud Kingdom to leave the Elven Alliance and sign a treaty with Inglemia.

Mr. Green's activities are unknown, but they are large, and growing larger.

Enchante is still a statue in the Doge's warehouse.
