| Gerth is overseen by a Chancellor, an office which was created shortly after the Council of Ceilidh. At that time, the position was barely different from the King's position and it remained a powerful position for nearly a million years, until Gerth formed the Royal Senate near the end of the [[timelines of terran historical ages#First Age]]. Over time, all of the power was moved into the Senate, leaving the Chancellor stripped of any real power. Despite this reduced authority, the office continued to hold influence. Many senators are former Chancellors | Gerth is overseen by a Chancellor, an office which was created shortly after the Council of Ceilidh.

| - | Below the Chancellor is the Royal Senate, in which the laws of the land are decided. The senate consists of 37 seats. Three senators are elected from each hamlet, though the monastery of [[Lus Liath]] only ever sends one senator. The 35th seat is held by the Minority Minister. The senate determines laws at the local level and at the national level, though any national law can be vetoed if all three senators from a hamlet vote against the law. In this case, the law does not apply to any hamlet with a three vote veto. Many proposed laws will include a stipulation that the law will not take effect in the case of a three vote veto | + | Below the Chancellor is the Royal Senate, in which the laws of the land are decided.

| Hamlets consist of a major city and the surrounding towns, and will often have a mayor to oversee daily business in the city, though some cities forgo this position. Each hamlet has a minimum of one marshal, an honored position that requires excellent combat skill and tempered wisdom in equal parts. It is the responsibility of the marshal to protect the inhabitants of the city, track down criminals, and to expose injustice within the society. Marshals typically train from a young age, and when they take their position, they choose an apprentice which they train to replace them | Hamlets consist of a major city and the surrounding towns, and will often have a mayor to oversee daily business in the city, though some cities forgo this position.
