If the action later turns out to be wrong then it clearly either shows the displeasure of God, or that the debate was of insufficient quality. In recent days, however, the Senate has seen a major reduction on power with their absorption into the Yamataian Empire, relegated to only making non-major decisions for the remaining Elysian worlds, and they are required to follow Yamataian law over their own if a conflict arises. They still only report to the Empress herself, however, being given leeway to continue running their own nation. |

Within the senate there are 83 Senators (corresponding to 1/6th of the Senate) which forms the [[.senate:war_council]]– composed entirely of trained tacticians as well as proved soldiers, and it is this body that decides upon the military policy of Elysia. In addition to this there are 166 Ecclesiastical Senators, incorporating religiously trained individuals as well as Exarchs. The senate is overseen by God’s Justicar (currently a Patrician man named Araqiel), a rotating position of Exarchs – their position is there to uphold the peace and to ensure that proper procedure is being upheld. | + | The senate is composed of 501 Senators, so numbered in order for there the to always be a majority for one course of action on the vote.

At this time, a number of the seats are empty, both from losses on the military side of things, and from unforeseen losses among the Senators in general. | At this time, a number of the seats are empty, both from losses on the military side of things, and from unforeseen losses among the Senators in general. |
