A member of the Imperial Senate. Two thirds of them, the patricians, are chosen from the noble families of the realm (one from each recognised noble family) for two year terms, and a third, the popularists, are picked by the Emperor for four year terms¹⁾. Since the collective noun of nobles is “a feud” and the Emperor tends to pick out the funniest Guys He sees on the streets of the capital for the popularists, the senate is a constantly roiling mess of factions and sub-factions, and the most common cause of death for a senator is a duel.
