Editing Meamnar:Crescent (section)

==Who Rules==

When Crescent was founded, a three-member Council of Elders was created to govern the settlement.  Membership in this Council is by appointment, with the unanimous vote of the other Council members being the only requirement.  Typically, a member will nominate his or her successor, who is then approved by the other two members.

Immediately after its inception, the Council chose to elect a Mayor to handle daily affairs.  Over the years, the Mayor's autonomy fluctuates, depending mostly on the interest one Council member or another might have on issues of the day.

The current members of the Council are X, Y, and Z.

Tarkin, a Ranger of unknown origins, was elected by the Council in 1419 NR, and has served as the town's mayor ever since.  Tarkin is a lycanthrope - a werebear - a fact which was concealed from the populace until the events of 1427.
