==Government==
On the 6th of Miraman, 502 AF, Shallam adopted a theocratic form of government, abolished the Sultanate, and became a Caliphate.


Shallam's government is presided over by the [[Citadel of Light]], from which all of its officials come. Shallam's ruling council is comprised of five Viziers, selected by the Citadel and voted in by general election. Out of the five Viziers, one is voted by the Citadel and approved by the [[Te'Serran Alliance]] to lead the city as Caliph.

The gods of the Te'Serran Alliance ([[Mithraea]], [[Pentharian]], [[Lorielan]], and [[Miramar]]) have the power to dismiss any Vizier, candidate for Vizier, or other public official. They also have the power to void any laws of which They disapprove, and to enact new laws and policies by divine decree.  Where the Te'Serra do not see fit to intervene, the government of Shallam operates in the traditional republican fashion.
