Hublaird

Overview The Hublaird is a rank given to the master of each Circle in the City of Cadiz. The rold of the Hublaird is similar to a Mayor in most respects, except in regards to the moving of the Circle for which the Hublaird is responsible. Each Hublaird must coodinate with the others and in peace times it is only the Hublaird who may move the Circle about. This can include sending the Circle out of the City as a whole to undertake work elsewhere in the Principality or simply coordinating the Circle's movements with those of other Circles.
In times of war the Control of the Circles is given over to the military - who then move the circles so as to always flank any vessels that seek to attack the city - and to cover key weak points if they are being targeted by any vessel or flying beast.
