Editing Trinity:Adren (section)

==Political Structure==
Adren is ruled by a King, who is the eldest son of the existing King when he chooses to step down or dies. Adren was ruled by an Emperor during the time of the Empire of Ashk, but that title has since been removed by the House of Elders, who advise the King.

Elves are the only race allowed to hold significant political office in Adren; it is believed that humans, the other primary race, are too short-lived to affect any positive changes. As such, humans and any race whose lifespan is shorter than the time it takes an elf to reach adulthood is limited to local offices.

Each Barony in Adren is ruled by a Baron or Baroness, who inherited that title when the first Telendil designated their leaders. The families of those who were once Barons in what have since become other nations are somewhat disgraced, but are allowed to continue serving Adren in the House of Elders.

The House of Elders itself consisted of the heads of each elven family when it was first formed, and each member that dies or chooses to step down is replaced by the next eldest son of any elven families yet part of the House of Elders. No humans are allowed to serve in the House, nor are other races - it is distinctly an elven institution. The House of Elders advises the King, but beyond that has little national political power. The House is also allowed to advise the Barons, though there the House may overrule decisions made by each Baron.
