The Gallery of Translators is the primary deliberative body of Qartuzhia, which when combined with the Assembly of Lances, forms the national legislature.
The Gallery was originally a physical gallery in the courtrooms of the Tuzhkhans for the Khan's personal librarians to collect, translate, and distribute his personal comments and the edicts he issued. They quickly became an indispensable organ of state and gave many more people access to the government since they could read laws, present petitions to the Khan, and engage in debates in their own language. During the later years of the Heliolatric Khaganate, however, the Khans greatly reduced their dependence on the librarians and embraced the mysticism of an esoteric language not commonly spoken in Qartuzhia.
