Greyhawk Directing Oligarchy

The City of Greyhawk and its domain are ruled by a Directing Oligarchy comprised of the city’s most important leaders: priests, merchants, guildmasters, leaders of the City Watch, influential wizards, and others with political pull. The number of Oligarchs usually varies between 12 and 18. The Lord Mayor is chosen by the Directing Oligarchy from among the Oligarchs themselves.
