Not all domains are ruled by a single person. One example of this type of domain is that of the Chimeron. However up until this time no rules have been given as to how such a domain is ruled. The following is a way in which such domains may be handled.
 
Organs of power comprised of more than one person are based logic. The bloodlline of such an organ is based upon the average of all the members of the group. The entire group thus jointly own the regency points earned by the council. This means that the group may not spend regency points if unless a mjority of it is for the use.

The actions of the group, being based upon the will of the whole are restricted to those actions that are the will of the group. Thus in order for a member of the group to perfrom an action he must convince the rest of the group of its neccessity. Due to the emmense amount of deliberation required to agree on a subject the group is restricted to one action every round, even though there are many people available in the group.

Depending on the size of a group there are two diffrent methods of trying to convince the group to take an action. For smaller groups it is possible to roleplay the interaction. The other method is to have the player give his argument then make a charisma check with modifiers for a convincing (or poor) speech and whether or not the proposed action is in the best interest of the group. The player can also gain a bonus of +1 for each GB spent in lobbying.

Below are specifics for different types of holdings:
 

Law and Province:
The domain is ruled by an aristocracy, the nobles of various houses gather together to perform acts of diplomacy and discuss matters pertaining to their land and the government of their kingdom. In this type of kingdom there is generally a weak monarch who is forced to obey the will of his aristocrats, reneissance Poland would be an example.

Guild:
The guild is a corporation in the modern sense, with a bord of directors at the top who control the functions of the guild. Alternatively it could be like one of the jointstock comapanies that existed in europe during the age of exploration, with all the major stockholders guiding the company.

Temple:
There is a high council of bishops that decides the course of the religeon. If there are sufficient resources in the council it is possible for every member to cast a realm spell during any given turn. No more than one spell can be cast from a single temple though.

Source:
A conclave of wizards exists. This should be limited to half a dozen or so members. As with the temple holding it is possible for every wizard to cast a realm spell . If the spell is cast at a leyline then any sources attached to it are unavailable to the rest the conclave, as are any leylines attached to sources being used.
