Avros has two primary lawmaking branches of government, the Elders and
the Lords.  The Elders are elected representatives of the common people, the
Lords appointed representatives of the state's landowners.  Here in this
large chamber the Elders introduce legislation, debate and vote on it. 
Tiers of chairs with small desks circle the periphery of the chamber facing
the podium in the center where the recognized speakers may make their
arguments.
