Line 10:
Later on, the Outpost would come to be surrounded by a large wall and the so-called 'Upper Holding' would be established - houses dug into the mountainside, with stairs and walkways dotting the face of the Peak.
== Government and Politics ==
=== Early Days ===
In the first few weeks of the Outpost's existence, where most living spaces were still tents, Zietal Mar lacked any government, leader figure or law enforcement. Over time it was deemed that a leader should be elected, with Zietal Mar’s “Lone Priest” Sigmarr Thoruva initiating the proceedings. The election resulted in the declaration of Kadol Ubbul, to the position of Overseer.
The Overseer would be supported by a Lower Chamber made up of a leader of the Outpost’s industrial matters, religious pursuits, and a third position by the election’s runner-up to act as a check on the Overseer’s power.
----
=== Kadol Ubbul's Overseership ===
Having taken leadership at the very beginning of the Outpost's founding, there was not much Kadol was able to concretely establish in law or deed. He aided the local smiths in setting up a Guild and began discussions with Khestor Thirdulin to form an Outpost molir for protection and law enforcement.
With the Outpost developing quickly, Kadol stepped down from his position, no longer believing that he was the right dwarf to lead.
Industrial Matters - Lokro Surjah
Religious Pursuits - Sigmarr Thoruva
Runner-Up - Ogrona Frontik
----
=== Ogrona Frontik's Overseership ===
Overseer Frontik took the reins of outpost leadership straight after Kadol’s resignation, having put herself forward for the purpose in an Outpost meeting. From the beginning, it was agreed that this was only a temporary government in place only until an election could be organized.
While there was some debate over Ogrona’s intentions, a new election was indeed held several weeks later, with the only candidates being Ogrona Frontik and Khestor Thirdulin.
The election closed with Khestor securing a landslide majority.
----
=== Khestor Thirdulin’s Governorship ===
Khestor's Reign was kicked off with a slew of changes as promised by his campaign of "Strength, Stability and Security." First, he abolished the Lower Chamber and changed the name of his position from Overseer to Governor.
Secondly, he created several new positions known as Consuls who would manage a particular aspect of Outpost life on behalf of the Governor. Three Consul officers were established: the Tributary Office managing the Outpost’s economy, the Office of Public Affairs for general management, and the Molir’s Office for military and law enforcement matters.
