The nobles would probably be outside of the population breakdown but everything else would fit, that is for the big estates.20 guard maximum but only a 10 guard maximum within the city walls. Don't mind guards out there but don't need small armies of 20 guards poping up all over the city. You could even go with the 40 guards on the estate but that would be very expensive so 20 would be more realistic.Cor Mahael probably showed up one day told everybody to keep off his island and went back home. He would probably not care about a title but would push his claim to the small island as his property and being noble would help, heck he might of forgotten just what noble title was given him as long as people stayed off his island, That would of been 300 years ago or so.As far as the council goes I think they should be hereditary positions or representative positions, they should have vote power but Lady Kelvin can veto any vote at any time. For the city of chaos a strong central government would actually hurt, a bunch of political infighting and backbiting would add to the chaos. It's not a Democracy or even a Republic, it's rich people fighting with noble people on how to screw over the common people who have no say in anything. I'd say that the right to sit council is a Noble privledge only Nobles on the council and guild representatives are Nobles too. It would basically be people with no actual qualifications to make laws or policy bickering over what to do, and Lady Kelvin deftly moving what she wanted throught the council. Chaos would rule the day and shouting matches and throwing things would be common place, Ulfgar Gorkil; Captain of the Elite Guard has been banned from all council meetings and he was just there as a Door Guard for Lady Kelvin. Oh and I love the Idea of official town appointed Fool. Maybe he is one of the oddities in the current Lady Kelvin's entourage, he could be something deeper or just somebody that makes a old lady laugh.</blockquote>
