Welcome to Gaia! ::

Discussing government, surely is shall be a riveting discussion. Shannon's shoulders slumped a bit but she shook her head and planned out which government she was going to talk about for her presentation and then did an outline in her head. When it came to be her turn she confidently spoke up. "I chose the Demon government since that is the one I'm most familiar with being a Demon myself. The Demons used to be ruled by the Sovereigns and their family. The Sovereigns would also delegate out power for some of the area's. In today's government the Sovereigns have been replaced by the Great Council and elected governors." Short and to the point, she was happy with her presentation and gave the floor up for the next person.

Piper's tail wagged behind her as she listened to the other students as they talked about their favorite historical figures. There really were a lot of important historical figures from the past and even in the present. She could only imagine how many more there would be in the future. Who was to know how many more things there were to be done out there!

She could understand how the green-Grimm felt in the room. She really wished there were more Girmm to talk about, surely there had been important ones in the past. Their history had simply been lost however. She was also part demon though, so she decided to talk about a famous demon. "My favorite would have to be King Ylorah! He created the Sovereign's Vow which helped to bring peace to the many nightmare races! Sure, we all still have our problems sometimes. But we mostly get along now!"

Maeva perked up when Tethys said that they were going to be going over government. She'd already decided on which one she'd present about and had the outline halfway done whenever he let them free to do their research. History was by far one of her favorite subjects and she was confident that she'd give a good presentation.

"The demons' government was actually a monarchy for quite some time. The rulers were named The Sovereigns and they delegated local power to sworn lieges who would rule a specific geographic area. The sovereigns have since given over ruling power to the Great council that was founded after the 50 year war, and the lieges have been replaced with elected governors.

In fact, a lot of the current governments have given over ruling power to the Great council, or have a representative on it. I would hate to see what would happen if something major were to happen to the council and the various races were left on their own to deal with it. Though, it would be interesting to see what would happen." Maeva's presentation started out strong though towards the end she couldn't help but add in her own musings. Whoops. She hastily took her seat with a sheepish look. "Oh, I chose the demon's government partially because I am one, and partially because I like the way it had been set up. The local rulers could note what was going on in their area and let the monarch know what was going on without said monarch having to travel throughout the country to get the information."

Laviticus had a slightly sour expression on his face. His sister had chosen the same historical figure as he had chosen to talk about. Because they were related, would it be seen as copying? Lavi scoffed a little bit. But he had made up his mind, and he had really wanted to talk about Argus themself.

Glancing away from his sister, Lavi took a deep breath. "I, too, rather love Argus the Stoneskilled." he said a little flatly. "I know that this probably sounds a little redundant with it having been said so soon, but yes -- the reason we now have eternal soulstones is because of Argus. And what my sister said is true - without him soulstones wouldn't be as they are today, and things would be far more complicated for all of us. If it weren't for him creating stones that could be stored indefinitely, many of us wouldn't exist. Cache children likely would have never experience life. And who knows -- maybe all of our races would be near extinction, if not dead. Thankfully, Argus existed. And for that, I am grateful. Both our parents were cache children, and if it weren't for Argus we may not have ever had lives of our own."

Bibiana chewed her lip as she thought about the assignment. It didn't seem so hard, even if she didn't really like speaking in front of others. She supposed it could be fun though. She scanned the textbook and chose one that sounded cool. Baphomets. Ha. That was fun to say~ Once it was her turn, she stood up and read from her paper.

"Baphomet government are led first by what's called Rexes, and there's one for each of the three factions: Alcyone, Bramblewood, and Moonspear. After the Rexes are the Elders and they govern the Baphomets locally. After the 50 Year War, the Rexes kept some of their power but they also let the Great Concil make some of the decisions."

Well, that wasn't as hard as she thought it would be. Yay!

Courting practices wasn't something Taegan was very familiar with, but they supposed that other races had their own way of doing things. Though to be honest, it all seemed strange to them, especially the way the Imps did it. Litches were much more practical, in their mind. Taegan chose the Imps for their assignment, since they were so different.

"Imps, as very affectionate and physical beings, tend to jump into relationships quickly. They are a bold race and will often have relationships with multiple partners included. To other races, it could be confusing as to what kind of relationship the Imp wants, but they will always clarify when asked."

Seemed simple enough, they guessed.
