Vote of Ostracism

The Ostrakimos or ostracism is a vote conducted during meetings of the Theban Tribunal. The polites with one or more shards (not offset by tokens) is listed, and the polites vote on which if any should be ostracised in a secret ballot. (Those who have only been granted citizenship this Tribunal are exempt). The maga or magus with the most votes is exiled from the Theban Tribunal for seven years and stripped of their citizenship. The Sundered Eagle 34 describes the process in detail.
