	Monster Town is ruled by a council with each of the 5 districts having a representative representing the Hobgoblins (led by the High Marshal), the Kobolds (led by the Sorcerer Queen), the Goblins (represented by a randomly selected triumvirate of 3 goblins), the Orcs (led by [[Gruul the Great]]), and the Gubbites (led by the [[Old Master]]). While there are some permanent or itinerant Halfling, Gnome, Human and other residents, all other races combined have only a trio of non-voting members on the council. Each district is also responsible for maintaining militias and providing soldiers and resources for ranged patrols and common defense.

These current observing council members are a gnome Hazdrubal Arrd, a half-ogre Johnny Towers, and a ghostwise halfling Eggrin Black, though he and most of his family have recently left the city and relocated to the trading outpost on the Grenrhusk River. Each district is also responsible for maintaining militias and providing soldiers and resources for ranged patrols and common defense.

	*Far Corner: The center city district is home to city government at Caucus Hall, the [[Order of the Red Door]] Monastery, the halfling tradehouse Goldhand Guildhall, an Alexandrian Church, as well as various inns, taverns, and markets. More or less all non-servitor races in the city live and work in this district. The district is represented on the council by the Abbot General of the Gubbites, an aged apparently blind hobgoblin, The Old Master. The non-servitors are also allowed 3 non-voting, observer positions on the council. The halfling seat and much of the local halfling business operations are controlled by Eggrin Black, a ghostwise halfling. The gnome Hazdrubal Arrd and the half-ogre Johnny Towers are the other two observer councilors.		*Far Corner: The center city district is home to city government at Caucus Hall, the [[Order of the Red Door]] Monastery, the halfling tradehouse Goldhand Guildhall, an Alexandrian Church, as well as various inns, taverns, and markets.
