The High Scales

The leaders of Calishka are known as the High Scales, a group of lizardfolk who rule over the state. The High Scales are a council of elders, with each member representing one of the major lizardfolk tribes in the region. The High Scales hold their positions for life, and new members are appointed by the council when a seat becomes vacant. The selection process is a closely guarded secret, known only to the members of the council, but it is believed to involve a series of tests of wisdom, leadership, and combat prowess.
Despite being rulers, the High Scales do not hold absolute power in Calishka. They are bound by the laws and customs of their people, and decisions are made through a process of consensus-building and consultation with the other members of the council. This means that the High Scales are not dictators, but rather stewards of the collective will of the lizardfolk tribes.
The High Scales are responsible for many aspects of governance in Calishka, including the management of the state's resources, the organization of defense against external threats, and the administration of justice. They also serve as ambassadors to other states, although Calishka's isolationist tendencies mean that such missions are rare.
Overall, the High Scales are respected and revered by the people of Calishka. They are seen as wise leaders who have the best interests of the state and its inhabitants at heart, and their decisions are rarely questioned. However, they are also aware of the dangers of hubris and corruption, and they take care to ensure that their power is never abused.
