Nomination to the Upper House?
The decision, once announced, instantaneously sent the entire place into an uproar.
The arrangement of upper and lower members has persisted in the Federation of Hundred Cities for a century.
Over time, the Upper House's powers increasingly grew while the Lower House gradually became an implementing body.
Major decisions were made by the Upper House before being communicated to the Lower House.
And now, Dordy proclaimed that anyone who could resolve the current Federation dilemma, or propose a solution, could be nominated by the Upper House.
The implication was clear: it allowed such a person to become a member of the Upper House.
This was an aspiration for every City Lord member, a difference akin to a commoner becoming a noble.
After a brief discussion, everyone slowly calmed down.
The Hall of Justice and the Church, holding all power within the Federation, were unable to resolve it.
So where could others possibly find the capability?
