====== Governance and Leadership ====== | |||
The viceroy of the Starlight province is chosen by a system which aims to install the most fit dragon. If the current viceroy of the province is challenged, and loses, the challenger is awarded their position and executive powers. | |||
When the first viceroy (Constellation) of the region was appointed to the position, she passed a law for the position of viceroy to operate under an election-based system, in which the elected dragon steps down when their term ends. | |||
Ever since Viceroy Constellation took command of the province, an advisory system has been installed utilizing a council of 16 dragons, all over the age of 10. | |||
Each member of the council has a 2 year term synced with the Ebon Province. This can be checked by the viceroy of Starlight Province, who has the power to hold a vote to remove a member of the council from their position before their term would normally end. Voting for the council members is a right reserved only by the citizens of the Starlight region and the royals, and the process is strictly anonymous. | |||

8,026 would be known as the year of the Birth of Modern Psychology. Esteemed scholar Judgment released his research of using mind-reading abilities to grasp a better understanding of behavior and reactions. Through Judgment's and his assistants’ experiments, Judgment studied the perception of participants from across Pyrrhian tribes. In a later experiment, he tried to observe behavioral responses among NightWing subjects, each born during different phases of the moons. Historians today widely acknowledge Judgment’s contribution to the foundations of modern psychology in Pyrrhia. | |||

In 8,090, Athienruem Library was burned down. The burning of the library happened unexpectedly after the death of its owner, Royal Librarian Horrorteller.

They did not seem to speak the same language as the rest of the dragons or each other, but they operate with the uncanny coordination of a single unit rather than three individuals. The NightWings operated without a ruler until 8,123, when Prince Silentseer appeared once more, claiming to of seen visions in which Rapture was still alive. Proof of these claims was never found outside of a destroyed NightWing outpost to the north of the Ice Kingdom. The NightWings later forged an alliance with the SandWings. | ||
