Praeco: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:23, 4 October 2012

Imposing some semblance of order to a Tribunal session requires a person to be in charge, and this role is served by the Praeco. The Praeco has extensive procedural authority over the conduction of the Tribunal session (see ArM5 14) and is appointed for life. This makes him perhaps the most politically influential person in the Tribunal. The different political factions in the Tribunal will usually try to remain in the Praeco's good graces, as an antagonistic Praeco can have a devastating affect on their interests in Tribunal. Perhaps due to the importance of this role, in most Tribunals the Praeco is simply the oldest member of the Tribunal (in the Rhine Tribunal the Praeco is always the Primus of House Bonisagus), which serves to eliminate political tensions over the appointment.
