Introduction
The Xdripian City Council serves as the legislative body of the realm, composed of representatives from all districts and planes of existence within Xdripia. The Council drafts laws, manages resources, and ensures the fair administration of justice throughout the kingdom.
Historical Background
The City Council emerged during the Second Age as a response to the growing complexity of the realm. Initially formed as an advisory body to King Theonar the Wise, it gradually evolved into a legislative institution with significant authority over domestic affairs.
The Great Charter of 1257 formally established the Council's powers and responsibilities, creating a balanced system of governance between the Crown and the representatives of the realm's diverse regions and planes.

- Manage the allocation of resources across the realm
- Oversee the administration of civic services
- Mediate disputes between districts and planes

Connection to the Tablets of Destiny
The City Council derives its legitimacy from the Third Tablet of Destiny, which speaks of "governance through collective wisdom."
The Council Chamber itself houses a fragment of the original Tablet, embedded in the Speaker's Podium. It is said to inspire honesty and clarity in all deliberations. Every Council member takes an oath upon this fragment before assuming office, binding them to uphold justice, balance, and service to the realm.
