The city  of Ountsy is run by Lady Emmara of House Garasteth, (Born to House Darmen, but having renounced her allegiance to them). Her official title is Trine of Ountsy, an ancient title with astrological connotations. She also holds the title of Lord High Mayoress. She came into power after the death of her husband in 570 CY. She, like most rulers of Ountsy previously, seeks the advice of the astrologers and diviners of the College of Divination, her most trusted advisor being Celandenn, Lady Warden of the College and Priestess of Wee Jas.
