The [[gods]] of the Te'Serran Alliance ([[Mithraea]], [[Pentharian]], [[Lorielan]], and [[Miramar]]) had the power to dismiss any Vizier, candidate for Vizier, or other public official. They also had the power to void any laws of which They disapprove, and to enact new laws and policies by divine decree.
