In the council, in effect, was vested the stability and administration of Port Kar. Above it, nominally, stood five Ubars, each refusing to recognize the authority of the others: Chung, Eteocles, Nigel, Sullius Maximus and Henrius Sevarius, claiming to be the fifth of his line. The Ubars were represented on the council, to which they belonged as being themselves Captains, by five empty thrones, sitting before the semicircles of curule chairs on which reposed the captains. Beside each empty throne there was a stool from which a Scribe, speaking in the name of his Ubar, participated in the proceedings of the council. The Ubars themselves remained aloof, seldom showing themselves for fear of assassination. A scribe, at a large table before the five thrones, was droning the record of the last meeting of the council. There are commonly about one hundred and twenty captains who form the council, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter )
