The Assembly of Lords

The Royal National Assembly of Lords is a legislature body the rules the Kingdom of Naasca. They are used to rule the country in the place of the king, who depending on the monarch, gains more or less power from the Assembly to rule. The Assembly of Lords is led by a Great Lord Chancellor, a member of the Assembly who is usually picked from the Grand Dukes, to be head of the Assembly for four years. To be able to attend the Assembly, a lord has to have the rank of the Elector Count, who rules one of the sixty-four counties in the Kingdom of Naasca. The Assembly of Lords has become divided into two seperate factions or parties, one known as the Lord's Rights Party, which belives more power should belong to indivual lords in the ancient tradtions of feudalism, and the Unity Party, which believes the Assembly should have more power and that indivual lords should act as agents of the Crown rather than for themselves. The Assembly of Lords meets in the Chamber of Lords, inside the Skycrown Keep of the City of Averlynn.

History
The Assembly of Lords had its impetus in the aftermath of the Wars of Unification that had ravaged the Eight Kingdoms that were on the Naascan Horn. The new King of a united Naasca was the thirty-one year old Hezzean, Ewark Fraen. Ewark had invaded from a foreign culture, and did not know the local customs on the Horn. He had let his native wife, Rysela Sollen, become his Chief Advisor to aid him in assailing into the culture of the Naascans. Ewark renamed himself Edmond Fraen, to sound less foreign, and converted to the Most Pious Faith. He was crowned in Rumeadam, under the name of Edmond I.

However, Edmond the Foriegner had a more ambitous plan of establishing Hezzean hemogony in the centre of the continent. He felt he could not leave his wife to rule the country in his absence without a council of advisors. In the aftermath of the Bastard's Revolt in 1049, he established the Royal Privy Council to advise the monarchs of the realm. Queen Rysela and the Royal Privy Council were to rule the country for three years while Edmond led his failed attempt at the conquering Thansk. The Royal Privy Council guided the monarchs for a century and half untill the reign of Marc II from 1193 to 1217 GL. Marc was a lazy monarch, who did not care so much about ruling. He disbanded the Royal Privy Council, to have all his counts and lords come to Averlynn to hold court. He established a ruling body under the lords to be known as the Assembly of Lords.

The Assembly of Lords ruled in much the same way they do now untill the year 1278. After his coronation, King Edmond III the Red disbanded the Assembly and took absolute power. Edmond quickly established himself as a cruel and sadistic tyrant, and had quickly built hatred against himself. The former members of the Assembly of Lords came together to form the Lords Pact, to support the ascension of Edmond's nephew Alfred Fraen. Alfred agreed to a constitutional monarchy under the Assembly of Lords. in return for thier support, The Red Rebellion began in 1284 and ended when the Pact took the city of Averlynn and had Edmond the Third executed in 1287. Alfred was crowned as Alfred I and kept his promise. The Assembly of Lords was re-opened on Aburnaan 1 1288.
