	By tradition, each Freeborn family is represented by a dhomiro. Their role is to represent their family's interests to those who seek to deal with the family as a whole.

They are usually chosen on account of their ability to organise or communicate, and they have great influence but little formal power.

	Despite this, Imperial rule requires that the Freeborn select [[senator\|senators]]. The Freeborn solution is simple; wealth and influence dictate many things in Freeborn life and they see no reason why senatorial seats should be any different. As a result, when a senatorial seat becomes vacant, the Brass Coast hold an open auction at which any dhomiro can participate. Whoever presents the highest purse wins the right to appoint the senator. Only someone who is recognized as a dhomiro may bid in the auction. Dhomiro is not an [[Imperial title]] so there is no concept of a legal [[proxy]] being appointed, but this does not often become an issue - it is rarely the business of another family how a dhomiro is chosen, or how they serve their people.
