The Forum, located on Ephoss in the the city also called Forum, is the institution mediating inter-governmental diplomacy, treaties, and law. While all the nations of the moons are sovereign, Forum imposes at least a little structure on the to-and-fro of influence peddling, and keeps disputes from getting so out of hand that they threaten the monoliths and awaken the ire of the Titans.
The Forum seats a single dignitary or ambassador from each Rami’s peoples, and is chaired by one of these representatives on a rotational basis. The current ambassadors are:
Nation | Ambassadors | Notes |
---|---|---|
Empire of Light | Araphien Taraan (retired) |
Luthienyue Indue’derith (deceased) | Araphien was generally regarded as a model politician, and negotiated several reparation treaties with the Human Cities that had suffered the ill effects of previous Elvish administrations. When his eldest son, Rythan, instigated a battle at the City Bellegrem, Araphien was forced to stand down from his post and retire in disgrace. He is replaced by Luthienyue, who takes a far more defensive position on High Elf interests in a period of heightened antagonism towards the Empire. At the ceremony to sign a treaty of peace between the High Elf Emperor Corallon 57th and the Absolute General Xanaphia, Luthienyue activates an Orb of Annihilation, killing herself, her Drow counterpart Selme, the Emperor, and grievously wounding Xanaphia. | | Drow Republic | Selme Arach’navate (deceased) | Fell into the Orb of Annihilation activated by Luthienyue. | | Elapidan Schools | Professor Iroshordi | Elapid. | | Quastalvarnian Community | Belloph Pinerustle Oh-Yoh | Gnome. Firbolg. Both ambassadors jointly exercise a single vote, but deliberate together on the most appropriate course of action on any given issues for the large plurality of people on Quastelvarn they represent. | | Myconidian Grove Keepers | Jol Uutuuta | Orcish Psychonid. | | Dwarvenholm | Geger Munchovix | Giant. | | Lizard Shogunate | Ronin Wex Kix Kax | Lizardfolk. | | Coin Fleet & Free Admiralty | Captain Barrkk Tarsnap | Tortle. | | Genasi Tribes | Soam Tuvish | Water Genasi. Current Secretary. Established the Astral Expedition Bureau as an office under the Secretary. | | Daconic Congress of Dens | Otrewwa Axxefvansdoter | Kobold. | | Independent Cities of Kallipae | Kalt Antomise (retired)
Avatar of Tripfidron
Logon Vet (elect absentia) | Human. Prophet. Human. Following the upheaval on Kallipae and Tembrimidra, The Avatar of Tripfidron, supported by The Ordnings, deposed Kalt as the representative of humanity in Forum. Kalt was widely seen as loyal to the Empire of Light, and in support of war to defeat the Spitting Cobra insurgency. However, The Avatar soon announced that through their prayers, humanity (past present and future) had elected a new ambassador: the exile Logon Vet. | | Seyara | Erill Udurdur | Tuan-Ti. Following the battle of Tembrimidra, the Spitting Cobras launched a wider campaign to overthrow Governments across cities on Kallipae loyal to the Empire of Light. Following that, the Seyara sought to establish itself as the leader of Humanity and nominated Erill Udurdur as ambassador for all Human Cities. However, The Avatar of Tripfidron, supported by The Ordnings, recognised Seyara as representing an entirely new nation, with no authority to represent Humanity generally. | | The Warrens | Diptois Sherrymaker (absent) | Hoppit. Following the cataclysm of Bellegrem, the Hoppit presence virtually vanished overnight, leaving their seat at The Forum vacant. | | Cult of Knopsis | Cardinal Ancellyes (deceased)
Cardinal Eramis Zarat | The Cult of Knopsis, as outsiders to family of Rami, typically only have observer status in Forum except when issues directly involve their sovereignty or matters in which the Secretary has extended the right. Cardinal Ancellyes was assassinated by cultists in an explosion. He was succeeded by appointment by the High Judge Cardinal by Eramis Zarat. Cult Initiate Cilia sits as Eramis’ secretary, and observer in the Forum when Eramis is absent. |
