The Thannic Councils
Most Dwarven cities are ruled by Thannic councils comprised of the Thanes of the most prominent clans of the region. They handle all of the governance of the city through consensus and appoint magistrates to settle disputes.
Order is maintained by the Anvil Guard, a team of elite warriors paid for by the joint coffers of the Thannic Council.
