 ===Structure=== ===Structure===
- +The highest of the government officials are the Council, an oligarchal group from several distinct noble families whose most experienced individuals are elected as heads of the family. The counciliaries conduct government through shared thought-magic that weaves their minds into one. Decisions are made, then passed along to other officials down the chain through their respective brands. This lends to a very efficient form of government, if a little cold.

 ===Law and Crime=== ===Law and Crime===
 +Criminals are treated very uniquely under Lynval law. Rather than putting them in prison, they instead invoke social isolation through visible arcane marks. Brands have a specific meaning behind placement - hands are monetary theft, stomach is food theft, and so on. Brands start simple, but with repeat offenses they get more detail. The closer a criminal is to the location of their crime, the brighter the brands glow - forcing them to be shunned by their peers. The brands are always visible beneath clothing.
