Khruath And Choths

The People Of The Wind, XI.

See: Great Khruath, Admirable Brevity

Two million enfranchised adults electronically attend the Great Khruath of Avalon. In just under six hours, 83% vote to continue resisting Terra.

The Great Khruath is attended not only by delegates from every region but also by individual members of every choth who, even if they do not speak, do listen, decide and vote. Thus, the Khruath expresses the will of a planetary population. 

I infer from this that no choth is either anti-democratic or abstentionist. No choth either forbids its members to attend a Khruath or insists that only its chief Wyvan can vote. Choths are diverse but unite.

Kaor, Paul!

Choths do not always unite. It was still mentioned there were times choths successfully defied the decrees of a Khruath even after Oherran was proclaimed against them. In such cases the wyvans concerned had to commit suicide.

Sean,

Yes. Rare. Otherwise, society would break down.

Exactly. Just as, for humans, society will break down if the State does not enforce its authority.
