=== House of Commons ===
Brought officially into being by Elder [[Reffelruzreffelruz]] on March 30th, 2024, the House of Commons are the priest class responsible for maintaining the temple fire. The irony of this is intentional; Post-Peterthe CWmonarchy under reffelruzwhich has undergonebecome athe fusionsubject of thereligion politicalis andreflected religious,in modeledthe on thereligious practicessubversion of the classicalparliament worldbeneath it. The house fulfills a role comparable to the Temple of Vesta in Rome, as well as the traditional role of a house of commons, ie. serving as representation for the people of the city.; Membersmembers of the house are to have no citizenships outside the Commonwealth, their free travel is severely limited and they are responsible for buildinggrowing and maintaining the temple interior - its murals, its decorations, its services, its rituals, and its texts; this is a democratization of the role of Architect. Members serve a minimum of two terms, or six months, retiring in luxury to be served like the King Himself.
 
=== The Architect ===
The Architect is a mediator role that shares characteristics with shamans and religious leaders; they lead from description, placing contemporary history within the context of an ongoing mystery that began with [[Peter5930]] and continues to unfold today. The Architect moves between 'heaven' and 'earth', weaving history into myth, and myth into history, holding the worlds together: he takes a backseat leadership role, and invokes the powers in heaven.
 
The name 'Architect' comes from the role given directly to reffelruz from King Peter, who tasked him with the construction of a new city called Victoria on the square patch of land that used to be his farm before the [[Somber War]]; Peter destroyed much of the city upon returning when the war was over, and much of what was left was built by reffelruz; likewise, the strongest CWers remained standing after the war, and the rebuilding was slow, but superior to what was destroyed. This whole story is recontextualized in the world of CivMC: the world was destroyed, and the Architect iswas left to rebuild the King's city.
