| + | The Government Of Sharn | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | The Government\\ | ||
| + | OF SHARN\\ | ||
| + | Bureaucracy mires Sharn’s political landscape. In\\ | ||
| + | addition to the massive amount of work involved in\\ | ||
| + | maintaining the city itself, Sharn also administers\\ | ||
| + | Brelon law to the surrounding region, collecting\\ | ||
| + | taxes and revenues on behalf of Roi Boranel.\\ | ||
| + | The city is fi lled with ministers, beadles, bailiffs,\\ | ||
| + | and minor functionaries of all shapes and sizes. However,\\ | ||
| + | it is unlikely that a player character is going to\\ | ||
| + | become intimately involved in the repaving of roads\\ | ||
| + | or the system of agricultural tariffs collected by the\\ | ||
| + | ministers of Sharn. As a result, this section focuses on\\ | ||
| + | the Olympe of Sharn’s government: the people at the\\ | ||
| + | top, who have the power to set adventures in motion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ____ | ||
| + | |||
| + | THE CITY COUNCIL\\ | ||
| + | Many make the mistake of assuming that the Lord\\ | ||
| + | Mayor of Sharn holds the greatest power within the\\ | ||
| + | city. In fact, the Conseil de Ville appoints the Lord\\ | ||
| + | Mayor, and the commanders of the Sharn Watch\\ | ||
| + | report to the Council.\\ | ||
| + | Le Conseil de Sharn is comprised of 17 councilors: | ||
| + | one from each of the districts of the city, with\\ | ||
| + | Flanc de Falaise merged into Dura and a single councilor\\ | ||
| + | representing both Noircendre and Osnoires. The\\ | ||
| + | precise method by which a councilor is appointed\\ | ||
| + | varies from district to district. In theory, it is a diplomatic\\ | ||
| + | selection made by the leaders of the district, but\\ | ||
| + | what it takes to be a “leader” varies considerably. In\\ | ||
| + | some districts, anyone with a certain amount of income\\ | ||
| + | or property can participate in district councils and\\ | ||
| + | elections. In others, district elections are entirely in\\ | ||
| + | the hands of trade guilds, noble families, or other\\ | ||
| + | power groups. While in theory each councilor has an\\ | ||
| + | equal voice, in practice the influence of a councilor\\ | ||
| + | is derived from his backers. The local merchants of\\ | ||
| + | Basse Menthis support Savia Potellas, and she knows\\ | ||
| + | better than to openly oppose Caskar Halavik, who has\\ | ||
| + | the backing of the Clan Saputo. If she stirs up too\\ | ||
| + | much trouble, she might wind up at the bottom of the\\ | ||
| + | Fleuve de la Dague. However, she fi nds other ways to deal\\ | ||
| + | with Caskar and pursue her own goals—including\\ | ||
| + | hiring adventurers to upset his plans. Likewise, while\\ | ||
| + | each councilor is supposed to represent the interests\\ | ||
| + | of his or her district, a councilor usually puts his backers\\ | ||
| + | first, his personal district second, and his district third.\\ | ||
| + | Thus, the three councilors with ties to the Saputo\\ | ||
| + | Clan usually vote as a unit.\\ | ||
| + | The Conseil de Ville commands a variety of powers.\\ | ||
| + | The Council establishes the laws of the city, although\\ | ||
| + | if they wish to pass a law that completely contradicts\\ | ||
| + | the Code of Galifar or the traditions of Brelon Law,\\ | ||
| + | the crown or parliament might have something to say\\ | ||
| + | about it. Laws may vary per district, allowing a councilor\\ | ||
| + | to shift the traditions of the city to benefi t his backers.\\ | ||
| + | The Council also determines how to use the resources\\ | ||
| + | of Sharn, from taxes to the power of the Sharn Watch.\\ | ||
| + | Finally, the Council appoints the high offi cers of the\\ | ||
| + | city, including Le Maire. The councilors do\\ | ||
| + | not appoint the city’s representatives to the Breland\\ | ||
| + | Parliament; following the democratic traditions of\\ | ||
| + | the nation, the three legislators are elected by popular\\ | ||
| + | vote, with every legitimate resident of Sharn having\\ | ||
| + | the right to participate. However, the Council manages\\ | ||
| + | and administers the election, and councilors can\\ | ||
| + | usually exercise a considerable amount of influence\\ | ||
| + | over the voters in their districts, whether through\\ | ||
| + | charisma or graft.\\ | ||
| + | All major political appointments in Sharn occur\\ | ||
| + | on 9 Rhaan, Boldrei’s Feast. Members of the Breland\\ | ||
| + | Parliament serve two_year terms, city councilors\\ | ||
| + | serve for three years, and Le Maire’s performance\\ | ||
| + | is usually reviewed every four years. There\\ | ||
| + | are no term limits, and quite often an election passes\\ | ||
| + | with no changes whatsoever.\\ | ||
| + | Members of the Council\\ | ||
| + | Each member of the Council has his or her own\\ | ||
| + | agenda and supporters, which may determine\\ | ||
| + | whether one makes a better patron or opponent for\\ | ||
| + | a party of adventurers. The seventeen councilors of\\ | ||
| + | Sharn currently in power include:\\ | ||
| + | Upper Central: Javan Tomollan (LN male\\ | ||
| + | Humain expert 8), a shrewd man and a tough bargainer, | ||
| + | earned his fortune representing House\\ | ||
| + | Lyrandar, although he has since parted ways with the\\ | ||
| + | house. He is a fair man and believes that hard work\\ | ||
| + | and dedication to a task should be redistricted. However,\\ | ||
| + | his greatest concern is protecting the interests\\ | ||
| + | of the people of Upper Central: the problems of the\\ | ||
| + | poor of Basse Dura hold little interest for him.\\ | ||
| + | Middle Central: Sorik Sensos (LN male half_elf\\ | ||
| + | expert 11) is a clever man and a brillant orator, and\\ | ||
| + | he is one of the oldest and most infl uential voices on\\ | ||
| + | the Council. However, he is influenced by his need\\ | ||
| + | for gold, and his supporters are aggravated by the\\ | ||
| + | growing economic gap between Middle and Upper\\ | ||
| + | Central. His frustration is compounded by the\\ | ||
| + | rising success of Javan Tomollan, and every month\\ | ||
| + | he becomes increasingly obsessed with Tomollan.\\ | ||
| + | Sorik is determined to humiliate Javan and to bring\\ | ||
| + | down his fortunes, but he needs to be careful.\\ | ||
| + | Lower Central: Sava Kharisa (NG female Humain\\ | ||
| + | expert 7/wizard 3), one of the most out spoken members\\ | ||
| + | of the council, espouses a wide range of radical\\ | ||
| + | philosophies and political views. She honestly does\\ | ||
| + | the best she can to help all of the people of Sharn,\\ | ||
| + | instead of trying to advance her political career or\\ | ||
| + | protect her personal supporters. This has earned her\\ | ||
| + | many enemies on the Council, and if she’s not careful\\ | ||
| + | the Clan Saputo could try to have her removed from\\ | ||
| + | offi ce—permanently. Due to her radical views, connections, | ||
| + | and desire to fi ght corruption, Sava makes\\ | ||
| + | an excellent choice as a patron for adventurers.\\ | ||
| + | Haute Menthis: Born and bred in Sharn,\\ | ||
| + | Thurik Davandi (LN male gnome expert 4/ | ||
| + | 4) is as cunning and deceptive as any Zilargo\\ | ||
| + | gnome. He gained his seat on the Council through\\ | ||
| + | a clever combination of fl attery and blackmail, | ||
| + | and he has a hold over many of the more powerful\\ | ||
| + | merchants of Menthis. He has strong ties with the\\ | ||
| + | Clan Saputo and the Zilargo Embassy, and often\\ | ||
| + | uses his influence to help these allies. But he is\\ | ||
| + | always looking for ways to increase his own power at\\ | ||
| + | the expense of his associates, and he may lure adventurers\\ | ||
| + | into his web of conspiracy and deception.\\ | ||
| + | Millieu de Menthis: Caskar Halavik (N male hobbit\\ | ||
| + | barbarian 2/expert 4) was born in the Talenta\\ | ||
| + | Plains. When he fi rst came to Sharn, he worked as an\\ | ||
| + | enforcer for the Clan Saputo. He was also a remarkably\\ | ||
| + | skilled Longues_griffes racer, and in time he became a\\ | ||
| + | celebrity in Petites Plaines. Saiden Saputo helped him\\ | ||
| + | transform his fame into political cachet, eventually\\ | ||
| + | earning him a seat on the Council. Caskar enjoys\\ | ||
| + | the prestige of his position, but he prefers to leave\\ | ||
| + | political maneuvering on behalf of the Saputos to\\ | ||
| + | Ilyra Saputo and Bestan ir’Tonn.\\ | ||
| + | Basse Menthis: Savia Potellas (NE female Humain\\ | ||
| + | expert 2/bard 1) owns a brothel in Allume-feu, and the\\ | ||
| + | conservative members of the Council were outraged by\\ | ||
| + | her appointment. She is extremely sharp at business,\\ | ||
| + | but she is currently caught in a bind. She has grown\\ | ||
| + | tired of paying tribute to the Clan Saputo and the\\ | ||
| + | Les Tyrans in order to run her business, but she is afraid\\ | ||
| + | to openly move against the powerful crime lords.\\ | ||
| + | Despite her amoral nature, she could become a valuable\\ | ||
| + | ally for adventurers that oppose the Saputos.\\ | ||
| + | Bordure Nord Supérieur: Maza Thadian (LN female elf\\ | ||
| + | Communer 17) is one of the oldest, richest, and most\\ | ||
| + | respected elves in the city. She owns the Oaks, one of\\ | ||
| + | the fi nest restaurants in Sharn. Maza is stubborn and\\ | ||
| + | set in her ways, and she constantly fi ghts to maintain\\ | ||
| + | the status quo and uphold tradition; however, she does\\ | ||
| + | tend to put the concerns of the wealthy before those of\\ | ||
| + | the poor, especially the Gobelins and other dregs of the\\ | ||
| + | lower districts. While she has the highest regard for the\\ | ||
| + | law, she is in no way naïve; she is capable of surprising\\ | ||
| + | subterfuge in the best interests of Sharn.\\ | ||
| + | Bordure Nord Centrale: A former advocate, Doran\\ | ||
| + | Cantar (NG male Humain expert 4/adept 1) is an\\ | ||
| + | honest and devout man dedicated to making a difference\\ | ||
| + | for the people of Bordure Nord. He obtained\\ | ||
| + | his position largely through charisma and dedication, | ||
| + | and the support of the priests of Grands Espoir.\\ | ||
| + | He has a deep and abiding faith in the goddess Boldrei,\\ | ||
| + | and attributes all of his successes to the good\\ | ||
| + | will of the goddess. However, his honesty is often a\\ | ||
| + | hindrance in Council intrigues.\\ | ||
| + | Bordure Nord Inférieur: Born in Marché Nord,\\ | ||
| + | Shassa Tarr (N female Féral expert 5) is a political\\ | ||
| + | animal. She comes from a long line of merchants, | ||
| + | and is an expert negotiator. While she is not as devious\\ | ||
| + | as Thurik Davandi, she has been successfully\\ | ||
| + | able to juggle alliances with all of the major factions\\ | ||
| + | within the council. Shassa herself owes her allegiance\\ | ||
| + | both to the merchant lords of Bordure Nord Inférieur and\\ | ||
| + | to Sharn’s Féral community, and she does what she\\ | ||
| + | can to help both of these groups.\\ | ||
| + | Upper Tavick’s Landing: This district has always\\ | ||
| + | had an isolationist attitude, in many ways considering\\ | ||
| + | itself to be a separate city within Sharn. Bestan\\ | ||
| + | ir’Tonn (LE male halfl ing aristocrat 3/telepath 9) has\\ | ||
| + | represented this community for the last 30 years. A\\ | ||
| + | wealthy barrister from one of Les Soixante (see page 112),\\ | ||
| + | he has strong connections to the Clan Saputos. He\\ | ||
| + | is a respected man who has always looked out for the\\ | ||
| + | interests of the wealthy of Tavick’s Landing, as well as\\ | ||
| + | for the Saputos. However, he has a secret: he is an\\ | ||
| + | agent of the Rêve Obscur. Fifteen years ago, the\\ | ||
| + | Inspiré dominator Tirashana infected him with a mind\\ | ||
| + | seed, and today he is one of three Inspiré moles. While\\ | ||
| + | appearing to promote the agendas of his supporters, he\\ | ||
| + | has actually been stirring up dissent and discord.\\ | ||
| + | Middle Tavick’s Landing: This district is a\\ | ||
| + | center for trade and commerce, catering to adventurers, | ||
| + | Communers, and merchants bringing\\ | ||
| + | cargoes in on the Orléans Train Fulgurant or by trade\\ | ||
| + | caravan. Dalaina Main de Fer (LN female Nain\\ | ||
| + | expert 5) is a plain_spoken woman who represents\\ | ||
| + | the merchants of the district. She is a hard_nosed\\ | ||
| + | negotiator with no sense of humor and no interest\\ | ||
| + | in anything beyond the bottom line. She always\\ | ||
| + | drives for the best bargain for her people—whatever\\ | ||
| + | form that bargain may take—but she has no taste\\ | ||
| + | for underhanded intrigue. As a result, she opposes\\ | ||
| + | the schemes of the “Saputo Block”—Bestan\\ | ||
| + | ir’Tonn, Caskar Havalik, Thurik Davandi, and Ilyra\\ | ||
| + | Saputo—whenever possible.\\ | ||
| + | Lower Tavick’s Landing: Economic forces also\\ | ||
| + | drive the wants and needs of Lower Tavick’s Landing.\\ | ||
| + | Kilk has the support of the Les Tyrans, but has also won\\ | ||
| + | the loyalty of the other merchant lords of the district.\\ | ||
| + | On the surface, it appears that Kilk looks out for the\\ | ||
| + | mercantile interests of his district, but he also monitors\\ | ||
| + | and manipulates events across the city. Only Thurik\\ | ||
| + | Davandi can match Kilk for intrigues and scheming,\\ | ||
| + | and Kilk has a web of informants and spies across the\\ | ||
| + | city. He has done his best to make himself useful to\\ | ||
| + | the King’s Citadel and the Gardiens de la Porte,\\ | ||
| + | and as a result he has developed powerful allies within\\ | ||
| + | both organizations.\\ | ||
| + | Kilk is an invention of the Les Tyrans. There is\\ | ||
| + | one changelin who plays the role more often than\\ | ||
| + | others, but at any time Kilk could be any one of\\ | ||
| + | the Les Tyrans—even Ek himself. Through Kilk, the\\ | ||
| + | Les Tyrans have a second way to affect the city, and a\\ | ||
| + | more respectable façade for dealing with groups such\\ | ||
| + | as the King’s Citadel.\\ | ||
| + | Haute Dura: Borian Haldorak (LE male Nain\\ | ||
| + | aristocrat 6) owes his position to the powerful bankers\\ | ||
| + | and merchants of Bastion Supérieur. He is also a member\\ | ||
| + | of the Gold Concord of L' | ||
| + | interests of this conspiracy. He is disarmingly cheerful\\ | ||
| + | and often plays up his age, telling elaborate stories\\ | ||
| + | about the great deeds of his youth. But beneath this\\ | ||
| + | façade, he is a sharp and ruthless negotiator. Most\\ | ||
| + | interactions between L' | ||
| + | Clan are resolved by Borian and Ilyra.\\ | ||
| + | Centre Dura: Hruit is a mysterious fi gure on\\ | ||
| + | the Council, keeping his own counsel and advancing\\ | ||
| + | his own agenda. A druid with a particular affi nity\\ | ||
| + | for owls, he once rode a Géant owl to represent the\\ | ||
| + | Bazaar of Dura in La Course des Huit Vents. Hruit’s\\ | ||
| + | primary responsibility is to the merchants of the\\ | ||
| + | Bazaar, protecting their interests from the Saputo\\ | ||
| + | councilors and the councilors who represent the\\ | ||
| + | other market districts.\\ | ||
| + | Basse Dura: Bestan ir’Tonn, Thurik Davandi,\\ | ||
| + | and Caskar Havalik all have ties to the Saputo\\ | ||
| + | Clan. But Ilyra Saputo (NE female halfl ing rogue\\ | ||
| + | 3/expert 3) is the Clan Saputo’s personal representative\\ | ||
| + | on the Council. She reports directly to\\ | ||
| + | Saidan Saputo, and she has the authority to make\\ | ||
| + | executive decisions on behalf of the clan. Her allegiance\\ | ||
| + | is obvious, but the other council members\\ | ||
| + | generally politely Belvédère it; the Saputos are one\\ | ||
| + | of Les Soixante Familles de Sharn, and she does have the\\ | ||
| + | skills, credentials, | ||
| + | of the other councilors.\\ | ||
| + | Of all of the members of the council, Ilyra is\\ | ||
| + | the most ruthless and dangerous. The Saputo\\ | ||
| + | Clan prefers to avoid violence, but councilors who\\ | ||
| + | oppose Ilyra have disappeared in the past. However,\\ | ||
| + | the recent war with Daask has shaken her grip on the\\ | ||
| + | council. The Clan Saputo is no longer seen as an\\ | ||
| + | infallible, omnipotent force—and so far the majority\\ | ||
| + | councilors have refused to devote city resources\\ | ||
| + | to battling the Droaamites setting up shop in Sharn.\\ | ||
| + | Most are quite pleased with the turn of events, and\\ | ||
| + | are waiting for the Saputos to be weakened further\\ | ||
| + | before they take any action.\\ | ||
| + | Thurik Davandi, Bestan ir’Tonn, and Caskar\\ | ||
| + | Havalik are Ilyra’s allies, although Thurik and\\ | ||
| + | Bestan have been known to pursue there own agendas\\ | ||
| + | behind Ilyra’s back. Her greatest enemies on the\\ | ||
| + | council are Borian Haldorak, Sava Kharisa, Kilk,\\ | ||
| + | and Hruit; these four are either unconcerned with\\ | ||
| + | the danger represented by the Clan Saputo or feel\\ | ||
| + | that their supporters are powerful enough to protect\\ | ||
| + | them from retribution.\\ | ||
| + | Voie du Ciel: Another member of the Sharn Sixty,\\ | ||
| + | Evix ir’Marasha (LN female Humain aristocrat 2/\\ | ||
| + | bard 4) owns the Horizon Céleste in Voie du Ciel, along\\ | ||
| + | with a host of other valuable properties. She is one\\ | ||
| + | of the most eloquent members of the Council,\\ | ||
| + | and she takes a great interest in Sharn’s role in the\\ | ||
| + | greater politics of Breland. She is part of the cabal\\ | ||
| + | who believe that the monarchy should be abolished\\ | ||
| + | when Roi Boranel dies, and she is a close friend of\\ | ||
| + | Hass ir’Tain. Evix also believes that Sharn should\\ | ||
| + | be recognized as an independent province, a view\\ | ||
| + | shared by Sava Kharisa. However, fi rst and foremost\\ | ||
| + | she represents the people of Voie du Ciel and the interests\\ | ||
| + | of these wealthiest citizens of Sharn. Because of this,\\ | ||
| + | she usually sides with Javan Tomollan, Maza Thadian,\\ | ||
| + | and Bestan ir’Tonn in Council debates.\\ | ||
| + | Les Rouages: Nolan Toranak (LE male Nain Communer\\ | ||
| + | 7) represents the industrial powers behind\\ | ||
| + | Noircendre and Osnoires. The nobles and merchant\\ | ||
| + | princes of Voie du Ciel and the Upper_City own many\\ | ||
| + | of the foundries and forges in the Cogs, and Nolan\\ | ||
| + | usually aligns himself with one of the more eloquent\\ | ||
| + | councilors. The one issue that he does feel strongly\\ | ||
| + | about is the status of the Guerrier de Fer. His children were\\ | ||
| + | killed by Guerrier de Fer during the La Dernière Guerre, and he has\\ | ||
| + | never forgiven Maison Bombardier or the Guerrier de Fer as a\\ | ||
| + | whole. If Nolan had his way, all Guerrier de Fer would be\\ | ||
| + | melted down or banished. As it is, he tries to find ways\\ | ||
| + | to bypass the stipulations of the Treaty of Fort_du_trône, | ||
| + | so Guerrier de Fer can be treated as property. There are a\\ | ||
| + | few groups of people in Sharn who share Nolan’s fear\\ | ||
| + | and hatred of the Guerrier de Fer, and he often channels\\ | ||
| + | funds to these organizations. He might hire adventurers\\ | ||
| + | to take action against Maison Bombardier or the\\ | ||
| + | prominent Guerrier de Fer of Osnoires; or if there is a\\ | ||
| + | Guerrier de Fer among the party, Nolan could use his power\\ | ||
| + | to try to discredit the adventurers and drive them\\ | ||
| + | from the city. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ____ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Le Maire\\ | ||
| + | While the Conseil de Ville holds the true power in\\ | ||
| + | Sharn, Le Maire is still a force to be reckoned\\ | ||
| + | with. Le Maire represents the interests of\\ | ||
| + | Sharn in any direct contact with the Brelon Crown,\\ | ||
| + | including interaction with the King’s Citadel. He\\ | ||
| + | also appoints the lesser officers of the city and oversees\\ | ||
| + | all issues of daily administration. He has the\\ | ||
| + | power to establish trade agreements with foreign\\ | ||
| + | governments, | ||
| + | arrests and even executions. His worship Cathan\\ | ||
| + | ir’Demell has been Lord Mayor of Sharn for twenty\\ | ||
| + | years, and he enjoys the luxuries and privileges of\\ | ||
| + | his position. He is unlikely to take any actions that\\ | ||
| + | would anger Javan Tomollan or Bestan ir’Tonn, | ||
| + | his strongest supporters in the council, and he\\ | ||
| + | usually consults with these two before making any\\ | ||
| + | major decisions.\\ | ||
| + | THE KING’S CITADEL\\ | ||
| + | The Conseil de Ville and Le Maire represent the\\ | ||
| + | interests of Sharn; they are not direct servants of the\\ | ||
| + | king. The King’s Citadel looks after the interests\\ | ||
| + | of the crown, and can assert jurisdiction over any\\ | ||
| + | criminal matter or issue concerning espionage or\\ | ||
| + | national security.\\ | ||
| + | Les Soixante Familles de Sharn\\ | ||
| + | Twenty_five of the twenty_seven noble families of\\ | ||
| + | Brelandehave strong ties and interests in Sharn,\\ | ||
| + | along with all of the Maisons Marquées Du Dragon. But the\\ | ||
| + | majority of the wealth of the city lies in the hands\\ | ||
| + | of the gentry: merchants and landowners who have\\ | ||
| + | built their fortunes through centuries of hard work\\ | ||
| + | and clever investment. There are hundreds of powerful\\ | ||
| + | families in the Cité des Tours, but a few stand\\ | ||
| + | out from the rest. These are known as Les Soixante.\\ | ||
| + | Sharn was built with the gold of the ir’Tain\\ | ||
| + | family, and today the ir’Tains are the most powerful\\ | ||
| + | and influential family in the city. Once each month,\\ | ||
| + | they hold a grand party for the aristocracy—The Tain\\ | ||
| + | Gala. When the ir’Tains were building their new\\ | ||
| + | manor on Voie du Ciel, Lady Shala told the architects\\ | ||
| + | to make the banquet hall large enough to seat sixty\\ | ||
| + | families and their servants. Les Soixante of Sharn are\\ | ||
| + | those with standing invitations to the Tain Gala—the\\ | ||
| + | clear sign of success. It should be noted that other\\ | ||
| + | people may attend the gala, as it is unCommun for\\ | ||
| + | all sixty families to bring all of their family members\\ | ||
| + | and servants, and the hall was designed to hold\\ | ||
| + | entertainers as well as guests. But a single invitation, | ||
| + | while prestigious, | ||
| + | invited to join Les Soixante.\\ | ||
| + | While many members of L' | ||
| + | members of Les Soixante, the two organizations are quite\\ | ||
| + | different. L' | ||
| + | that carries out carefully orchestrated plans to\\ | ||
| + | provide its members with greater power and wealth.\\ | ||
| + | Les Soixante is more of a social club—a visible manifestation\\ | ||
| + | of the most powerful families in Sharn.\\ | ||
| + | Members of Les Soixante discuss politics and business\\ | ||
| + | at the Tain Galas, and these discussions can have an\\ | ||
| + | impact on adventurers, | ||
| + | Les Soixante almost never act as a concerted unit, and\\ | ||
| + | many members are actually bitter rivals beyond the\\ | ||
| + | walls of the Tain Manor.\\ | ||
| + | All of the noble families and the Marqué par le Dragon\\ | ||
| + | families are members of Les Soixante; this means that\\ | ||
| + | any Sharn resident with the ir’ or d’ prefi x on his\\ | ||
| + | last name could be found at the Tain Gala. Other\\ | ||
| + | members are generally identified as such in their\\ | ||
| + | descriptions. A standing invitation can always be\\ | ||
| + | revoked to make room for a more deserving candidate; | ||
| + | one of the greatest fears of Councilor Sorik\\ | ||
| + | Senso is that his family will be displaced to make\\ | ||
| + | room for Councilor Javan Tomollan. | ||
