Revision as of 13:14, 27 April 2008
Template:Greyhawk Organization The Directing Oligarchy of the Free City of Greyhawk is the chief governing body of Greyhawk City. The Directing Oligarchy is also responsible for governing the Domain of Greyhawk, though its authority and reach is somewhat more limited in that respect. Members of the Directing Oligarchy are usually called "Directors.'
Structure
The Directing Oligarchy numbers twelve to eighteen individuals, representing the city's major professional guilds and the military. In some cases, the Oligarchy may include important wizards and/ or clerics.
A Director's term is indefinite, though a director may leave office through retirement, resignation, or death. It is assumed that a Director may also be removed from office. New Directors are chosen by current council members when a vacency must be filled.
The Directors elect one of their number to serve as Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor acts as head of state for the City and Domain of Greyhawk, and also heads both the Directing Oligarchy and the Council of Mayors and Manorial Lords. The Lord Mayor also officially heads the military, though actual command is most often left to the Captain General of the Watch.
