Since 413, New Acarthia has been a place of experimentation and opportunity under Her Grace, Duchess Illiana Tiberion. She spoke of inclusion, experimentation, and responsible citizenry.
It is in her honor that the Ducal Office, under the care of Ducal Regents, Baron Darius W. Rivervale and Baroness K.W. Elavir make this proclamation:
It is the intention of the Ducal Regents to begin a new experiment: The Tiberion Council.
The Tiberion Council will be made up of five commoner councilors (detailed below) who will be empowered by an official writ to manage commoner disputes and support the protection of the Estate of New Acarthia, which finds itself often besieged. This grand experiment will be done with the support and wisdom of the Regents and Nobles of the Duchy of Acarthia.
This Council will enable those who are most affected by the challenges New Acarthia faces, even outside of gatherings, to explore how the estate could be managed, and how it might best support the bustling nexus of activity. The jurisdiction of the Tiberion Council will extend only to the borders of the Estate.
It is the intent of the Ducal Office to solicit potential candidates in February to serve on this inaugural trial run of 3 months, before the Council and its members will be ratified by the citizens of Acarthia themselves in the summer.
Should you wish to make your desire known to serve on this council you may either:
