Speaker of the Council

The Speaker presides over Apseldian Council meetings. The position is considered a burden as much as a prestige. Speakers serve two-year terms and are chosen by lot from the whole Half-Elf populations (gnomes  are not eligible). If the chosen Speaker refuses, another one is selected until someone takes the mantle. It is generally considered bad form to refuse the title of Speaker though Half-Elves who don’t live in the city proper can opt out with no social repercussions. Half-Elves never serve as the Speaker twice.
