Primary Republic Offices
Auspex Quaestor Consul Praetor Imperator
Gods & Prophecy Bread & Gold Wolf & Sun Order & Sun Iron & Wolf
The Auspex, or chief Augur, is charged with understanding the will of the Old Gods. Ensuring the people know the flow of the future, and preform the proper rituals to sanctify the Senate. Administrators, book-keepers and paymasters for the treasury, this magistrate elected once a year, supervise and maintains the public places of the Republic – managing streets, baths, sewers, market places, temples as well as the grain supply. The 'ruler' of the Republic, the Consul is elected every year by the Senate. Having the power to chair and summon the Senate, issue edicts and proclamations, not to mention enter binding debate with foreign monarchs, the Consul is charged with guiding the Republic through balance and carrying out the will of the Senate. The Prætor is the judge who administered the highest court of justice. Elected by all Patricians to preside over matters between Patricians and even Senators, the Praetor holds the final say on matters of law that are brought before them by one or another of the parties involved, including foreigners. They also have the ability to chair the Senate, if the Consul was away or had brought a matter to debate forward. The Imperator oversees the activities of the entire Legion on behalf of the Senate. The Imperator is given considerable freedom to act out their mandate 'to defend the Republic'. Elected once a year by the Senate, it is otherwise very difficult to remove the Imperator from power, who is in turn watched over by a small staff of scribes loyal to the Senate, called the Ordo Tacitus, in case the Imperium is abused.

The Tribune acts as an intermediary between the Foederati and the Senate ensuring a slight check on magisterial autocracy. Beyond all this the Tribune also acts as the final arbitrator on legal matters dealing with the Foederati, though rarely do the Tribes bother with the office, preferring to settle matters their own way. Organizer of the the public games and entertainment the Aedile presides over chiefly the arena but also watches over trends in leisure and game across the domain to ensure the people get what they want. A rarely used office for when a debate has become too heated for usual operation. The Orators will take turns representing a position to allow a better flow of the debate for a vote. The Legate are charged with speaking to foreign powers. Ensuring the Republic is well represented, and smoothing out any tensions. They are expected to provide diplomatic expertise, and inform foreigners of Republic law. The Centurions are charged with commanding a legion sent out on mercenary pursuits. Ensuring the legion is successful, they have the final authority on matters of the legion during the expedition.
Fundamental Republic Office
Senator
The Senators govern a single province in the Domain, administrating their territory on behalf of the Republic. They collectively make up the Senate, the legislative body of the Republic. Senate positions are determined by election. They are elected upon a province being available, simple majority wins, all highborn may run and vote in the referendum. If the position is a city or stronghold, only current senators are eligible to run. Positions are held until either: retirement, abdication for dereliction of duty, or the territory is lost. In the case where the territory is lost the senator retains their rank for one month, during which they automatically gain the title if the region is reclaimed. A person can run again for office in the future if they wish.
