Structure
Monarch- A single figure—or sometimes a royal couple—rules the city, which is likely the nation’s capital. They might have inherited the throne, seized it in war or after assassinating their predecessor, or been swept into power on a tide of popular opinion. However they got there, the monarch has absolute control over the city. If they also have a whole kingdom to rule, a monarch usually decides to appoint a chancellor to manage the day-to-day minutiae of government and likely has a chamberlain or vizier to offer advice. Less hands-on monarchs install a mayor or one of their loyal dukes or other subjects to run the city in their place.
Chamberlain/Court Wizard- The chamberlain combines the roles of chief advisor, confidant, and indispensable personal assistant to the ruler. Since the chamberlain typically advises in private, they have unparalleled access. Expected to speak truth to power, a chamberlain with less honourable intentions can cause considerable trouble. Chairs the inner council, and serves as the Monarch's proxy during their absences. Also helps with Arcane defensives and offensives.
