The Assembly is the voice of the city. Alexana and Eileen created the Assembly so that they could hear the complaints and suggestions of their residents. The Assembly votes on issues that affect the city, but Alexana and Eileen have the final say on any matter if they choose to intervene at all. The Assembly is also the voice to the city. They are the ones who have to inform their constituents of any changes in the law or new laws.
The Assembly is made up of the Magistrates, the Guild Masters, Prefects, Captains in the Military, and the Priests of the Garden. The Assembly meets on the last day of every month alternatively at the Temple or the School. Alexana or Eileen presides over these meetings depending on where it is being held. These meetings can get heated and last all day. At the end of the day, they have to come to a consensus. If a consensus has not been reached, Alexana or Eileen will make a decision without their vote. Some of the Assembly members are amazed at how fast news travels between the sisters. Every once in a while one or the other has been seen acting as if some private internal battle is taking place. Though strange most ignore this since the Ladies are very powerful in magic lore.
If the sisters are not in the city, the Assembly can pass temporary laws in their absence. These laws will have to be ratified by Alexana and Eileen upon their return, but most of the time they show full confidence in the Assembly.
No one can hold two offices at the same time.
