Members

Landsraad Rule
The Landsraad has at various times in Shireroth's history (briefly) ruled the country in lieu of the Kaiser, usually when the Golden Mango Throne was vacant after the demise or abdication of the Kaiser of Shireroth and the Landsraad was in the process of electing the next Kaiser, or in the case of 1475, electing a Ruling Steward while the imperial succession was worked out. 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.
