[X] Plan Go Go Unsatisfying Compromise
-[X] Reform the local government along the same lines as Myr.
-[X] Government will be handled by bi-cameral, legislative body, made up by the Council of Elders (traditional allocation of seats is kept) and the Council of Speakers (allocation of seats will be changed to match Imperial rules for elections of voices).
-[X] The de facto ruler of the city will still be called Archon (it will only be a count-level title in the Imperial hierarchy, but historic precedent allows them to keep the name.) and carry executive power, while local legislative power and the power to appoint judges will be given to the parliament, requiring 2/3rd approval from both chambers to enact a measure.
-[X] The Archon will be elected from among citizens of good standing, requiring also a 2/3rd majority in both chambers to be elected.
-[X] To the aristocracy, this will be sold as reigning in the upstart merchants by bringing back control over things like taxation and the judicary to the aristocracy.
-[X] To the merchants, this will be sold as giving them the ability to take full control of the government if they can field a popular enough candidate for Archon that can be elected by pressure from the street to bully the aristocracy into compliance.
-[X] In fact, the system will largely favor bickering, indecision and partisan grandstanding, allowing Relath as the Governor of the area and Viserys as the Imperator to rule the area by decree without a strong local government standing in their way.
