High Stormgovan Society

The High Stormgovan Society was a group of inhabitants and frequent visitors of NewJellhem, whose sole purpose was accepting or denying applications for the position of Valekt of NewJellhem. Its existence was short-lived, due to the chaos and unrest that followed the results of the NewJellhem elections.

Creation
Shortly before its creation, Ornn Ludwig of NewJellhem proclaimed to all of Simulami that an election would be held to democratically choose the next Valekt of NewJellhem. As the elections became quite the talk over the entire empire, Ornn decided that there would be too many participants. As a result, he decided to form the High Stormgovan Society. He invited 5 highly trusted individuals who could frequently be seen in the city.

These five initial members were Abyss Ludwig, Joker Rostraya, SirAliXX, Upsidedownelf, Krisa Corvinus. Alongside these five core members, Versifier Maestro and Westloonlake were invited to join midway through the elections.

The identities of the seven members of the society were kept secret until after the applications were closed, with only the imperare ZenoHUN and Ornn Ludwig knowing of their identities beforehand.

Controversy and Dissolution
The election was handled extremely poorly. Uprisings and unrest across all of NewJellhem occurred shortly before and after the results were released, where the Soleviel party just barely squeezed out a victory over the BIG party by forming a coalition with smaller parties. Insults, threats and much more were sent between members of the parties on numerous occassions, to the point where the imperare stepped in and declared the election results void.

Alongside voiding the results, ZenoHUN declared that the High Stormgovan Society must be punished for their involvement in the chaos, even if their involvement was minimal at best. Some time later, the trial was held in the old Stormgovan Guardian temple of NewJellhem, which was recently burned down during the Festivel of Fire.

Here, all members were found guilty and were each given punishments. Whilst the fate of the Society was already sealed when the trial was announced, Ornn Ludwig himself declared that the Society would be dissolved.
