The Council of Captains is the ruling body of
Solova, composed of the commanders of its standing garrison cohorts. The council governs by consensus in theory, but in practice, whichever captain commands the toll revenues or can muster the largest cohort dominates the chamber. Family dynasties have formed around control of key regiments, though rivalries and coups are constant.
Size: Usually 5–7 captains at any time, each tied to a cohort of the Pass Guard.
Legitimacy: A captain holds their seat only so long as they maintain effective command of their soldiers.
Meeting Place: The White Citadel’s council chamber. Part war-room, part fortress-library.
Balance of Power: Constantly shifting alliances between pro-Novayan, pro-Coaster, and neutral captains.
