[QUOTE="Rhialto, post: 195811, member: 630"] Eveiret smiles at Mal's explanation of the Five Families. "Ahh, if it were only that simple... Each of the Five Families is equal in standing. As the statues indicate, all support each other, and the lack of one would cause the whole to fall..." Here he pauses to glance back at the watchfire, a slightly wry expression on his face. "Well, that is the theory anyway... " He glances back at the group. "The position of Primus is bestowed upon a Family for a 20 year term by the Advisory Council. The head of that Family is then made Primus. He then bestows the titles of Marshal on the heads of the remaining four Families. Presently, it stands as follows: Marcus Aventinius is Marshal of the Guard, Severus Viminalius is Marshal of the Coin, Julia Caelianus is Marshal of the Watch, and Gregory Esquilinius is Marshal of Entertainments." He pauses a moment and watches the group carefully. "To put it simply, Malenkirk, any one of these people carries enough to crush you like an insect if they have mind to--even that harmless sounding Marshal of Entertainments..." Eveiret glances at Kaiambus and whispers to him. "You keep trying to attract my attention. When we get to the Gargoyle, I'll need to talk to you. We have much to discuss..." [/QUOTE]
