Dialogue

Before the attack on Lion's Arch

The Commodore and the Captain's Council wish to welcome you to Lion's Arch. We hope that your visit - whether it be for business or pleasure - goes well.

What do the Commodore and the Captain's Council do here?

The Captain's Council is the ruling body of Lion's Arch. They, along with the Commodore, wield all the power and authority in this city.

How do they both share that authority?

The Commodore has the ultimate authority in Lion's Arch. However, he rarely makes a decision or move without the support of the Council.

So it's the Council who really run the show?

It's more complicated than that. While the Commodore can't overrule the council on any one issue, his vote means more than that of the other captains, especially when appointing new council members.

So, they truly are separate, but equal in power?

So long as the Commodore doesn't appoint loyalists to the council, the system works.

Thanks for the civics lesson.

It does sound complex. Thanks for your help.

It sounds a little unorthodox, but I guess it works.

How does one become a member of the Captain's Council?

Anyone can become a council member - all it takes is wealth, power, and influence. But seats are only up for purchase when a captain retires or dies. Or if someone proves themselves of exceptional value to the city.

Sounds like an interesting way to run a city.

Sounds like an interesting arrangement. Good-bye.

Thanks for the welcome.
