Treskri - City - Fairport

Fairport

The Free City of Fairport lies on eastern coast of the Mionia peninsula.

Fairport Government
The Free City of Fairport is governed by the Council of Guildmasters and administrated by the Fairport Government Association.

Council of Masters
Consists of every guildmaster of a recognized guild with over 250 voting contracts. In practice, this number is closer to 3,000 voting contracts.

Fairport Government Association
The Fairport Government Association is a public guild that consists of all government employed citizens of Fairport. Belonging to the FGA excludes a person from being eligible to belong to any other guilds registered in Fairport.

Election Day - Winter Solstice
Every year on the Winter Solstice, the voting population of Fairport registers their votes with the Fairport Government Association. They do this by returning their signed voting contracts to the FGA office and casting them for the appropriate voting boxes.

In any given year, the voter will vote on the major government contracts and then give their support to a single guild to have a spot on the Council of Masters.

Uncast voting contracts are then auctioned to the public on the 8 day of Orn.
