Spire's Council
"The view from here is quite lovely, provided you avoid looking north. Many of my peers have advocated to block out the northern widows entirely and turn the area into a dainty pleasure lounge. It would make the most marvelous distraction when we are in-between sessions. Ah, and here is the heart of our city! The Spire's Council! Yes, it's quite empty now... most won't even begin to arrive until they've been properly motivated. Politics truly can be so boring sometimes." ~ Noble Tolstan Wintrop
Structure
At the head of the Spires power chain lies the Chimeric Order - The Three Ruling Families of Dexraven. Most major decisions are decided by these families but only after receiving support and guidance from the nobles of the Spire's Council. Any human family that achieves noticeable success may apply to be recognized as a noble house, though it is well recognized that each applicant must also have achieved a significant contribution to the city, or have filled the right pockets in order to be accepted. There are currently over 200 nobles in the Spires Council.
Public Agenda
"Guiding our great city to new heights of influence and prosperity!"
Assets
Though the Chimeric Order ultimately commands Dexraven's soldiers and guards, any noble family is allowed to keep personal guards and soldiers, with a limit of 500 units per house. This is not strictly regulated, though few even wish to finance large numbers of units. Every noble house is extremely wealthy and, as a general rule, flaunt their wealth when possible. The Noble's Spire itself is an intimidating fortress, however, each noble litters the city with a variety of fully stocked defensive structures, fortifications, and safe houses.
