 ===== The "Council" =====
-The main governing body is a town council consisting of 9 members and at least 5 members must be present for a quorum. The head of the city guard is always a member, a proxy ambassador from the capital is always a member, the city's mayor is always a member. These three are known as the "permanent members". The other 6 seats are the "term members".

 The Mayor is voted on by the people; the city guard is appointed by the King; and the proxy is appointed by the King's 'court'.

  The remaining 3 seats are "open" in that anyone agreed upon by 4 of the Permanent and appointed members can be an open member provided that they reside in Steepost for the duration of their term.
-Terms are 3 years for appointed, and 2 years for open seats. Open seats have no term limits and a member could serve forever so long as the rest of the council approves. Appointed seats cannot serve consecutive terms. I.e., they can only serve 4 years on, then 4 years off. However, this tends to cause "good" appointed members to be "open" members kept on indefinitely.
