Editing Manus (section)

== Government ==
The ruling council of Manus meets in one of the most secure and secret places in the world, in a central building of the city.

The ruling class consists of Wall Lords, but unlike [[Salazsar]] where the oldest bloodlines are the most valued, anyone can theoretically be elevated into high status, and heritage is not blindly trusted. In a meritocratic approach, Manus chooses the most valorous, highest-level, and those with the most sound judgment as its leaders. These leaders consist of [Generals], [Captains], [Commanders], and [Strategists] regardless of race. Trust and loyalty are also important factors in this choice. These leaders meet in various councils to discuss matters and only decide things of utmost importance on the highest level.

The current highest council, the "Protectors of the Wall" recently consisted of eight individuals (six Drakes and two Gnolls), led by a ninth, the [Dragonspeaker of Manus], whose symbol of office is the "Fang of Manus", an electricity-enchanted glaive that is said to be able to damage the Walls of Manus. The current Dragonspeaker is the [[Oldblood Drakes|Oldblood]] [[Luciva Skybreath]], who has ruled for fourteen years.
