Lord Chancellor

Lord Chancellor, also High Chancellor but often just Chancellor was the title of the of the Aradan Sectorate. The position came to be in 17 ABY, when the Aradan Sectorate replaced the Aradan Union.

History
The position was established by Jevron Loyaler, the first elected leader of Aradan. Jevron as such served as the first Lord Chancellor.

Upon Jevron's death, he was replaced by his son, Avron Loyaler, who held the position until 148 ABY, when the Sectorate itself ceased to exist.

Governance
The Lord Chancellor holds little power, and most power resides with the Aradan Senate. However, the Chancellor gets the power to veto and vote on issues with more influence than senators.

Succession
In order to appease the noble houses of Aradan, the Lord Chancellor held the title until his death, upon which a new leader would be elected.

Style of office
The title Lord Chancellor was put together in an effort to please both, the nobles of Aradan and the democratic supporters on Aradan, the first of which sought to restore monarchic rule to Aradan as it had been for several thousand years, while the latter sought to establish a completely democratic government, traumatised by figures like Norven Loyaler and Bevron the Tyrant.
