Sovereign of the Depths
|
The Sovereign of the Depths was the elective title of the leader of Talon's Grotto and Talon's Port, and since the reformation of Sovereign Lenora Jusima in Year 68 of the Second Era, is presently the title of the leader of The Unified Domain of Vortice.
Ascending to the Position
The Sovereign of the Depths is not a hereditary position within Talon's Port and Vortice unlike the leadership positions of other realms, but rather put up to a vote among the council and stewardship of the city. The Sovereign serves until they die, step down, or are voted from the position by a majority of the council. Only council members have the right to be a candidate for the position, and only the council and stewardship of Talon's Port or Vortice may vote within the election should there be a necessity for a new leader.
If the Sovereign steps down as opposed to dying or being voted from the position, it is common practice that they are typically kept on the council unless they wish to step down away from the government completely due to their prior leadership experience.
