Minor Council: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:35, 11 August 2024

The Minor Council is charged with enforcing the will of the Major Council, and does so with a myriad of rapidly changing ordinances. Comprised of many lesser Courts which each have their own purview, the Minor Council is in control of many of Nodd's public services and bureaucratic necessities. Most of their offices are housed around or within the Council Spire.

Court of Analysis

Responsible for exploring and documenting the world and its magic.

Court of Architecture

Responsible for anything related to buildings, including housing. Organizes and enacts the Pruning.

Court of Ceremony

Responsible for any Council-organized events and ceremonies.

Court of Discipline

Deals with anything relating to Nodd's legal system.

Court of Induction

A recent offshoot of the Court of Analysis, designed to catalogue outsiders as they arrive in Nodd. Provides an invasive probing and an orientation seminar.

Court of Information

Responsible for all of the Council's bookkeeping. Contains archives of information on all topics. The arcanet originated here before ego bracers became widespread.

Court of Medicine

The Council's hospital.

Court of Resurrection

Responsible for reviving citizens.

Court of Sanitation

Responsible for the disposal of corpses and garbage - at least enough to allow passage through the city streets. Has two major headquarters, one in the Council District and the other in The Omasum.

-The Minor Council also gives formal judgment on disputes between citizens or corporations. A court hearing may be requested by anyone, but most are ignored. In some cases, a citizen may even face punishment for requesting a court hearing over something deemed particularly petty or suspected of being anti-Council.
-The Minor Council and its attendants also oversee any Council-directed processes and establishments.
-The Minor Council is made up of various organizations known as Courts. Many of the Minor Council's tasks can be seen as the public works of Nodd - tending to the city as a whole, rather than the spire itself, as much as necessary to keep it running.
-The courts are sections of the Council Spire, and usually refer to the buildings through which citizens can access related services.

 =====Court of Induction=====
-Originally part of the Court of Analysis this court was branched off into its own entity as outsiders began arriving in larger numbers. The novelty and perceived importance of this happenstance, as well as the number of creatures needing induction, necessitated this shift. Prior to outsiders only those who were born outside the city and found their way to it would be inducted by what was then still part of the Court of Analysis.

-The court ushers new citizens into the city and provides them with a brief invasive probing, both physical and mental, as well as an orientation seminar explaining the workings of Nodd. Often, a mage from the Court of Analysis will be on site, standing by to document new outsider species with particular interest.
 =====Court of Information=====
-Responsible for all the Council’s bookkeeping. Contains information on all citizens, organizations, magic use, and almost everything else. This court also was where the arcanet technically began before Omnillian technology and ego bracers made it widespread and easily accessible by every citizen.
