High Curator

Yeah, yeah, the High Curator. A big bag of hot air, if you ask me. They always make this huge announcement when we get to vote every two years. "Change the city with your vote" they say. It's an open lie. Everybody knows that the High Curator doesn't run the city, the council does - and that one we don't get to elect. It's a hoax, a play, a smoke screen, nothing more.

The High Curator is the highest administrative title in the city of Okodranous and holds vast powers and influence, at least on paper. The rank gets elected every two years by the city's permanent citizens. The election process is defined by great campaigns, grandiose speeches and promises, urging citizens to believe that their vote can change the future of the city.
However, the reality looks quite different. The High Curator is little more than a figurehead, a face to put forward. Behind the scenes the Council of Thirteen, composed of the city's most powerful and influential citizens wields the true power. They control most of the city's wealth, its security, and most importantly the decision making process.

History

The rank of the high curator dates back to the early days of Okodranous.
