Editing Zeres (section)

==Government==
Zeres is ruled by the Serpentine Matriarch and the Admiralty.

=== Serpentine Matriarch/Patriarch - Ruler ===
The Serpentine Matriarch or Serpentine Patriarch acts as the central ruler of Zeres. They are not a Monarch, as Drakes would not stand for that. Her lineage is related to [[Wyrms]], and this is evident from some genetic tells in her features such as a longer tail.<ref name=":8.01" />

Current Matriarch: [[Ieneessa]]

=== Admirals of Zeres ===
The Admirals of Zeres are not merely stand-ins for [Generals]. They are leaders in multiple areas, like managing certain aspects of the city. They are semi-autonomous, each Admiral is a law onto their own. While they answer to the Serpentine Matriarch and each other, they can and do act without each other's approval. Their offices are located within Zeres' towers.<ref name=":8.01" />Zeres has a tradition of always keeping at least one Classless individual in the Admiralty.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/05/03/8-85/ Chapter 8.85]</ref>

=== Sharkcaptain of Waves ===
The Sharkcaptain of Waves, or just Sharkcaptain, is another unique post in Zeres, for it is for the champion of the Serpentine Matriarch. The Sharkcaptain post is a hereditary post appointed to the fighter the Serpentine Matriarch chose to represent her—and accompany her. Personality and a talent for battle went hand-in-hand—not necessarily grand strategy. Hence the ‘captain’ bit. It differed from Sharkcaptain to Sharkcaptain. In its own way the Sharkcaptain is as important as an Admiral.<ref name=":8.01">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ Chapter 8.01]</ref>

Current Sharkcaptain: [[Femar]]
