Hyralan Politics

Hyralan Politics are considered some of the most complicated in the galaxy. However, a rough outline has been established.

The Council
Most of the time, Hyralan affairs are governed by a Council, which is made up of the heads of the 7 major families. In times of crisis, particularly war, an Overcouncil is installed to take over military matters.

The Seven Families
The Seven Families are the most important part of the governmental structure, with any decision being voted on by each of them before being acted upon.

The Seven Families are as follows:
 * Valtierez Family: The most powerful of the Seven Families. Holds a great deal of influence over the Council.
 * Altaire Family: The second most powerful family. Often at odds with the Valtierez Family.
 * Kari Family: The third most powerful. The head of the family is known for her short temper.
 * Rolis Family: The second least powerful family. Obsessed with the 19th century on Earth.
