The Senate of Sydalon is the national, bicameral legislature of the Kingdom of Sydalon, consisting of two chambers: Chamber of Peers (upper house) and National Assembly (lower house).

The Senate sits in two locations: Palis Autrecôté in Ostracine, and the Senate House in Sydalon. Members of the Chamber of Peers are indirectly elected from a pool of all landed nobles or titled peers, and serve life term, with by-elections to replace deceased members. Assembly members are popularly elected for three-year terms through direct election by party-list proportional representation or first past the post voting, though vacancies may be filled either by special election or appointment. The Monarch may call for early elections. The Senate has 557 members across both houses, 301 Peers, and 256 Assembly Members.

Proposed 2018 constitutional amendments seek to require the Monarch to appoint the person most likely to hold the confidence of the National Assembly to serve as Chancellor. The Senate cannot remove the Chancellor, but confirms the Monarch's appointee. The Senate also holds the ability to enact constitutional reforms upon the approval of the Monarch and domain governments.
