The Landsraad is the highest and oldest legislative body in Shireroth.

Compared to the Adelsraad, the Folksraad, and the legislative powers of the Steward, the Landsraad is the most powerful body of them all.

Members
Members of the Imperial Peerage above the degree of "Baron" (i.e. Barons are not included) are eligible for membership in the Landsraad. Regardless of rank or how many peerages they hold, members only have one vote each.
Members are officially titled Imperial Electors. Members are considered unseated if they have yet to give oaths to the Living Kaiser or have yet to have those oaths received, as stipulated in Imperial Decree "Landsraad Reform", Article 1, and thus are eligible for a seat on the Landsraad but have yet to be seated.
See Imperial Peerage for a list of peers.

The last Landsraad rule was in 1644, following the demise of Kaiser Dominus during the Oustfest Massacre. The Landsraad elected Noor to be Shireroth's Kaiseress.
