"Power to the council!" said Samos, bowing his head. "Power to the council!" cried the men in the tiers. Even the page boys and the scribes, and the minor captains, in the back of the room and about the sides, cried out these words. "Power to the council!" I sat in my curule chair, smiling. "Further," said Samos, "I propose that the council decree that all bonds among clients and patrons in Port Kar be now dissolved, to be reestablished only on the basis of mutual consent and explicit contract on the part of the parties involved, which documents, in copy, are to be placed with the council." Sullius Maximus shook his fist at Samos. "You will not shear us of our power!" he cried." Further," said Samos, "Let the council decree that any who fail to abide by the resolutions of the council, or act against it, be regarded, at the council's convenience, subject to her pleasure."

"In the Council, in effect, was vested the stability and Administration of Port Kar."
The Council of Captains {hereafter CoC} is the single sovereign and lawful entity by which the City is governed
"A scribe, at a large table before the five thrones, was droning the record of the last meeting of the council. "I now ask the table scribe," said Samos, "to call the roll of Captains."Bejar," called the scribe."Bejar accepts the proposals of Samos," said a captain, a dark-skinned man with long, straight hair, who sat in the second row, some two chairs below me and to the right."Bosk," called the scribe."Bosk," I said, "abstains." Samos, and many of the others, looked at me, quickly. "Abstention," recorded the scribe."
