Five-Star Senate

The Five-Star Senate are the ruling body who have ruled the continent of Natirth since the third era. Throughout that time, there have been between 50 and 80 lords. The Lords come from all walks of life and while predominantly comprised of Nemer, has had members of various races throughout Nirn. They are based in the Capital of Kaniros.

While no other Lords are formally named, some individuals become the subject of widespread rumors that can even become a general consensus. The penalty for impersonating a Lord, whether by dressing in a set of their identical clothing or by a false claim is punishable by the imposter's immediate execution. The Lords only appear in public when deliberating on high crimes or when asked to by the lower court but even then only five amy appear and are always the Publically known. All other Lords of the Senate wear black formless masks and robes and speak through the Other Lords, in order to keep their identities secret.
