1. What was your position? Lady of Lórien, founder and former ruler of Eregion, daughter of the High King of the Noldor in Valinor
2. How long did you hold that position? My husband and I ruled Eregion for some six hundred years and it has been a thousand years or so since we came to rule Lothlórien.
3. How did you come to power? I was born into a position of leadership and was often looked to lead and provide for my people, even when I did not have a realm of my own. As I said, I played a vital role in the founding of Eregion. As for Lórien, its previous Lord died, leaving no heirs. My husband and I stepped in to fill the role and were welcomed warmly for it.
4. Briefly, explain to us the government with which you have experience. Is there a written constitution of any kind? What are the laws like? Did you have other officials working under/around you? How many people did you hold authority over?
[INSERT ANSWERS HERE because wow, this would require a lot of calculating. Answers basically indicate experience with monarchies, small-ish, but prosperous. Also some stuff about Feudalism. Yes. If you actually care about the details, I will do calculations and return with supposition and headcanon.]
5. Are any of your former constituents/subjects in Exsilium as of this moment? 5a. May we have their names? You may speak to my daughter, Celebrían, though I hardly imagine you will find her unbiased in the matter.
6. What do you think is the ideal form of government for Exsilium? As profitable as I believe it would be for the people to rally behind a single leader, I think that is highly unlikely here, to say the least. A small council of experienced leaders may be more practical, in this instance.
7. If a committee were to be formed in Exsilium with the intent of eventually creating a Transport-governing body, would you be interested in serving on it? Naturally.
