Category:Senators of House V'neef

V'neef Caucus

Of all the Houses in the Deliberative, only House Peleps shows less cohesion than House V'neef, and where the Peleps caucus sometimes unites against a common threat, the V'neef caucus remains factionalized and in disagreement over just what its interests are. In broad strokes, the caucus is divided into two groups, whose attitudes are quite divergent: the first consists of senators with economic experience, who generally seek to protect V'neef from unfavourable legislation while taking steps to increase House fortunes, an outlook and approach matching that of senators in other Great Houses.

Young Turks

The second is a group of young reformists who advocate extreme changes in the Realm... though the revolutions favoured by each are far from unified, nor even compatible. This group of Senators is together known as the ‘Young Turks’, in reference to the long-fallen reformist politicians of House Morigaturqi.

Yellow Banner

Within the ranks of the Young Turks, the most extreme (and most unified) are the Senators of the Yellow Banner. Where their peers often dismiss the title of ‘Young Turk’ as an insult from established Senators (very much an accurate assessment), the Yellow Banner wears it as a badge of honour, the yellow of Morigaturqi joining the green of V’neef in their fashions. The Yellow Banner is known for its violence, even within a legislature whose debates are renowned for the fierceness of their brawling, and are blamed for the death of a Tepet senator in RY765.

Caucus Leadership

On paper the chair of the V'neef caucus is the former outcaste V'neef Dalyr, though much politicking and organization behind the scenes rests in the hands of V'neef Cejanis. The Young Turk faction, by its very nature, has no leader, though amongst the Yellow Banner V'neef Lucen was once considered first amongst equals, his exile leaving that role ostensibly in the hands of his sister V'neef Lijet.
