Voormann
Voormann or voorzitter is the title of the elected head of the nation of Perrenland.
The institution of a voormann was begun by the hero Perren in 400 CY, who was selected as voormann for five consecutive eight-year terms.[1]
A voormamn is addressed as 'Your Gravity'.[2]
Creative origins
[edit | edit source]The terms are originally from Dutch, voorzitter meaning "chairperson" or "president" and voormann meaning "leader".[3][4]
Publishing history
[edit | edit source]The Dungeon Master's Guide (2024), uses the term voorzitter for the first time, instead of voormann.[5] Voorzitter is more accurate as a title of a political leader than the general term voormann which is more frequently a band leader, construction foreman, or supervisor.
