As agreed in the prior year, the Hoosmoot of 114 was attended not only by an impressive combined 87 Aves and Skols but a total of 32 mayors and other local leadership figures whose towns directly contributed to the new city's development.* These additional figures were not allowed to vote on anything in the moot, but they were allowed to voice their opinions on issues (within the law) and raise issues themselves to be voted on.
Though there was talk of local developments in the form mentioning of smaller villages' intentions to move as a whole to the still-incomplete new city, most of the discussion had to do with the then-unnamed city. Records of the Hoosmoot show that the debate over what name to give to the new city took up the most time of all of the moot's discussion topics. Owlca, Pinkerton, Newton, Paramare, Eulhaven, and "Unnamed City" were among many proposed names, but after over half a day of arguments Tytopolis was eventually chosen to be the name voted on and was approved by a vote of 53 to 31.** Other city-related issues raised that saw approval (besides the ones approved the Premature Moot and brought forward), one of the more prominent of these being a unanimously-approved (with no abstentions) issue to create a series of roads leading to Tytopolis.
Perhaps the most important though was the topic of Tytopolis as the capital. After talks in which the non-Ave or Skal participants engaged in rigorous debate a consensus was reached to reestablish Parliament in much the same manner as was in the Owl Republic, with its members being elected by the citizens of the individual towns they represented. Parliament's initial members were determined in the moot to be the collective Ave's and Skol's of those towns. They and all future Parliament members were not permitted to serve more than one single one-year term in the office with the elections for the office being held and overseen by their requisite municipalities, and it was stated that they were expected to still carry out any inter-community diplomatic duties that came their way as required of an Ave/Skal. Otherwise, the roles and duties of Parliament members in Tytopolis were determined to be the same as what was required for them in the days of the Owl Republic.
The third topic that saw a lot of discussion pertained to the Pink One. Though it was still clear that she could never take the Nameless One's place as a subject of worship for more than one reason, her influence over the heavenly layer was growing to the point where Morbs became able to perceive omens from her specifically in greater number. This matter led to the passage of a bill some found contentious wherein Morbs and others would be allowed to provide live tellings of the Pink Angel's portents to satiate the Hooman public's growing fascination with her. Aside from this, formal discussion of her was shelved for the Moot with an agreement to arrange for Morbs and archivists to attend the next Hoosmoot.
Thus ended the Hoosmoot of 114, or as it would later be known, the Hoosmoot of S.T.*** 1. Though the purpose of it was made redundant by the reestablishment of Parliament, it was officially not /who/'s last formal Hoosmoot. The practice continued (exclusively in Tytopolis) until the Parliament chamber was completed.

*though not mentioned in either summary, it was determined in the preceding Premature Hoosmoot that simply attending and voting to approve or reject measures was not sufficient to count as "direct contribution"
**Hoosmoot vote tallies do not document abstentions

So, it turns out the streaming activities picked up before I could write a full in-world year's worth of letters developing Tytopolis. I have a draft or two still composed somewhere and I don't see a need to not retroactively scrap it, but if/when I do post them they will be placed before the Hoosmoot of 114. I do hope to continue the rentry past this point as there's still a lot that needs done (library filled up, temple and adjoining structures built, harbor expanded, defenses increased, etc.) but anything after this Hoosmoot chronologically will likely look a bit more like the Loreli developments than the letters I've been dropping.
