The [[Lore:Moot|Moot]] is a board of representatives,{{Ref|name=PGE1S|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Skyrim}}}} one from each Hold in [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]], which is convened upon the death of the High King of Skyrim to choose the successor from any qualified members of the royal family.

The Moot served in this limited role well, and was only called upon three times until at least the late {{Lore Link|Second_Era#2E 864|Second Era}}.{{Ref|name=PGE1S}}
By the late {{Lore Link|Third Era}} the Moot still gathered to recognize the new High King, but more as a formality and theatrics.

The Moot can reconvene during a living High King's reign if he breaks some taboo which makes the Jarls of Skyrim lose confidence in him, such as refusing a challenge made in the old traditions.{{Ref|name=SS}}<noinclude>
