The name ''Gildertach'' comes from the [[Lebhan language]] and means "House of the Guilds", often translated into the official [[Julian Ænglish]] term "House of Guilders". The term originates with the earliest days of Royal guild assemblies when the Lebhan language still saw some official use. | The name ''Gildertach'' comes from the [[Lebhan language]] and means "House of the Guilds", often translated into the official [[Julian Ænglish]] term "House of Guilders".

The Gildertach is comprised of five representatives from each of the forty [[Guilds (Urcea)|Guilds]]. The representatives serve at the pleasure of the Gilder Assembly of each guild, which elects the five representatives. Each Guild's delegation has two representatives associated with their Guild's [[Guilds_(Urcea)#Structure|Labor Caucus]] and two from the Capital Caucus. These four members then select a fifth member to represent the interests of the Guild as a whole who is approved by the Gilder Assembly. The entire delegation must retain confidence of the Gilder Assembly; if one member is recalled, an entire new five person delegation must be selected. | |||

The Gildertach, as a non-partisan body, does not have caucuses or party conference leadership. Legally speaking, the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] is the presiding officer of the Gildertach, but this responsibility has been delegated to an officer - the Chair of the House of Guilders - who is responsible for presiding over meetings of the House. The Chair is one of few officials within the [[Government of Urcea]] directly appointed by the King without the involvement of the [[Procurator]] or [[Chancellor and Temporary President]]. The current Chair is former [[Procurator]] [[Michael Witte]]. The Gildertach is appropriated funds by the [[Concilium Daoni]] on an annual basis for the hiring of personnel and a parliamentarian as well as for office space. | The Gildertach, as a non-partisan body, does not have caucuses or party conference leadership.
