| − | There are two more senators. Known as the 'Senate's Advisor' and 'Ruler's Advisor'. The former is appointed by the Senate by majority vote and the latter by the Ruler. They are selected from the nobility for exceptional qualities that will enrich The Senate. They serve a six month term, though a new Ruler may replace the previous Ruler's Advisor before their term is served.

All important decisions from the ministries come to the Senate for scrutiny in the form of official proposals or 'bills' and are ultimately accepted or rejected by majority vote. Accepted or 'ratified' bills enter into the law of the republic. Rejected bills may be returned to the ministry for improvement. The Senate advises and directs the ministries and may request specific actions or proposals from them.

| − | The Senate can call for a Vote of Confidence to be initiated at any time for any government member. If any Senator asks for a Vote of Confidence regarding a government member then a vote by simple majority is held in The Senate. If the senate votes in favour of the member they can continue in their position. If the vote is against the member then a further Vote of Confidence is requested from the nobility of the realm. If they vote in favour of the member they continue in their position. If they vote against the member that member must, by law, step down immediately. A replacement is elected by the people (in the case of the ruler and judge) or appointed by the senate (other positions).

Overview
During the historical period known as 'The Reconstitution of Oritolon' the government system was reformed with the intent of unifying Oritolon after a period of chaos and allowing more nobles to have a voice in how the realm is run.
The reconstitution was a complete failure as the plotting of greedy nobles tore the realm apart... All the records were burned by it's creator, Khain Dragnborn, as he finally lost his mind and abandoned the realm to it's fate.
