meyorlar

Meyorlar is a fictional political institution used in the Meyorian Confederation, a setting featured in fantasy novels and role-playing games. The term refers to the council of city-level leaders who coordinate policy across member cities.

Each city elects a Meyor, who serves on the Meyorlar Council. The council handles intercity infrastructure, regional security, trade standards, and disaster response. Its authority is limited to matters that affect multiple cities; day-to-day municipal governance remains the purview of individual city councils and mayors.

In the in-world language, meyor denotes a chief administrator, and the plural suffix -lar marks a collectivity. The term is constructed for the fictional setting and has no direct real-world counterpart beyond its role within the narrative.

The council meets quarterly in the capital, with a rotating chairperson selected by vote among members. Decisions typically require a majority, with mechanisms to protect the interests of smaller cities and minority viewpoints.

The Meyorian Confederation formed after centuries of rival city-states faced common threats and economic integration. The Meyorlar framework is central to debates about centralization versus regional autonomy, fiscal policy, and intercity cooperation, making it a recurring theme in the setting’s political storyline.

In fiction and games, Meyorlar figures are portrayed as pragmatic administrators and politicians who negotiate budgets, treaties, and development plans. They are often depicted amid factional struggles among cities, merchant interests, and military orders, illustrating the tensions inherent in regional governance.
