The High Kingship, Jarldoms and lesser-nobility on Aurbis are sacred and foundational to the people of Skyrim. Title is earned here and failure to honor your duty is tantamount to treason. The High Kingship and current major Jarldoms would have been historically established by powerful and prestigious clans with one leader of each achieving recognition as a Jarl from a grand Moot. Jarls hold one vote each on the Moot, a simple majority affirms a Jarl or elects a High King, and the Moot disperses until called next time by the majority of Jarls. All Jarls must vote or vote by established proxy and may not vote for themselves. The upcoming Moot will test the already delicate balance between the Stormcloaks and the Imperials.
More to come — calling a Moot, the proxy vote, and the standing rules for what a vote of the Moot can and cannot decide.
