The Luthadel Assembly
also known as Assembly
The twenty-four-man parliamentary council Elend Venture founded as the legal partner of the throne in his new Central Dominance kingdom. Slow to agree, divided about how to face Straff's army at the gates — some want a treaty, some want to attack, an increasing number want simply to hand the city over. MB1:WoA:Ch 3
Known facts
- composition-three-classesTwenty-four Assemblymen plus the king — eight noblemen, eight skaa merchants, and eight skaa workers — seated in tiers on a stage opposite a public audience in the former Canton of Finance hall. Elend needs a two-thirds vote of the body to pass a measure.MB1:WoA:Ch 10
- must-choose-new-king-within-one-monthUnder the charter Elend Venture wrote, the Assembly has one month from a no-confidence vote to choose a new king by majority. If they fail to agree, the throne reverts to the deposed king for at least one year — and the law does not bar them from simply re-electing him. This is the window Elend now intends to fight in.MB1:WoA:Ch 28
Events
- MB1:WoA:Ch 10 The full body sits in session — eight noblemen, eight merchants, eight skaa — and audibly fails to hold to a single topic until Penrod's intervention gives the king his two-thirds.
