Town Quarters

Town Quarters in Tre'Volos are actually called 'Boroughs’, although the common folk call them ‘Quarters’. They are generally led by a Boroughmeister, who is something like a cross between a Lord Mayor and a City Councilman. Disputes within a single Borough are often settled by the "Magister', who is something like a cross between a city counselor and a judge. There are free elections for councilmen — who then choose amongst themselves who will be the Boroughmeister. Lawgivers (Lawyers) choose a slate of suggestions for the Magister's position, and the eventual Magister is selected from this list by the Boroughmeister and the councilmen. The Emperor may reject such a choice, but has never been known to do so. From the sky, Tre’Volos looks like a giant irregular hexagon full of buildings and people, and with incredible amounts of flowers and trees.
