Government
Ostensibly an inherited monarchy, however, no monarch is secure without the support of the great houses which range in number from generation to generation. Currently there are eight great houses who act as a council or advisory body if you will.
Infrastructure
Often dependent on the prosperity of the area of the city infrastructure can be either extremley advanced and efficient through to almost non existent, the stench of some of the slum areas will attest to this.
Guilds and Factions
As would be expected in any large city in Ashnoor all guilds are represented equally within the city precint and provide education, training, trade, commerce, banking, artisan's wears and of course produce.
