   * Execution or permanent exile.
-=====Council Laws=====
-  * Council members must work toward the good of the city at all times.
-  * Council decisions are enacted by majority vote, the Chancellor does not vote except in order to break a tie.
-  * The positions that must exist on the council:
-    * //**Chancellor.**// Non-voting leader of the council (that can otherwise break ties). Presides over council meetings, creates the agenda, and leads the formal address to peoples of Brightshore. Aids all other council members in their duties as required, fills in during their absence, and arbitrates expedited decisions in times of strife.
-    * //**Archon.**// Represents the interests of The Four and is the moral compass of the Council. Acts as a voice of the people and our link to the gods. The Archon is the religious leader of the city and will keep us all on the right path.
-    * //**Arbiter.**// The Legal council of the city, the law writer, and the final judge. The Arbiter is head of the city guard, responsible for the enforcement of laws, in charge of inner city protection, and the stewards of the gaol. The Arbiter currently delegates maritime abilities to the Harbormaster and hosts weekly open house meetings at the Nicked Rock Tavern. During the first month of the second council, this position took on the portfolio of what was formerly known as the Marshal.
-    * //**Registrar.**// Formerly known as the Yeoman. The Reigstrar performs the administrative tasks of the city; including registering deeds and real estate, certifying ships, and ensuring taxes are appropriately collected. They are handling city expansion and lot claims. They can also be asked about trade tariffs, business licenses, guild registry, agriculture, food standards, and various smaller city infractions. This is perhaps the most bureaucratic council role.
-    * //**Consul.**// The newest council position to Brightshore, created during the first month of the second council. The Consul handles Brightshore's foreign policy and is empowered to negotiate treaties on behalf of the city. Will hand pick and/or delegate envoy and representative positions to act on our city's behalf and secure our interests with neighboring communities.
