The 7th Farun Senate, is the current meeting of the Farun Senate. It meets in the Urbis Capitol Building, following the prior northern circuit elections. The Supreme Court did not apportion any new seats however, district 6 became 1, district 7 became 6 and district 8 became 7, with 8 and 9 being special "party list" seats.
