Popular vote

Myrken Wood tradition dictates that its gentry may be elected to a position upon the Judiciary Council by means of a popular vote taken amongst the province's population. Voting is open to all residents of Myrken Wood, the only requirements for eligibility being that the person is:

• Male
• Of sound mind
• In good standing amongst his peers
• Of noble birth.

It is an unspoken rule that this final requirement may be waived in the cases of landowners and the independently wealthy.
