Structure
Dottari are organized into several ranks to form a hierarchical command structure. For instance, the Westcrown Dottari and Kintargo Dottari follow this general structure:
- Duxotar4 or Duxotas5
- This officer, also known as the "high warden", commands a city's dottari. A city has only one duxotas or duxotar.
- Durotas6
- Also known as "rank wardens", these officers command dottari across a city rego (region) and report directly to the duxotas or duxotar. The plural of durotas is "durotasi".4
- Major
- These officers report to their rego's durotasi. Regos often have multiple majors.4
- Captain
- These officers report to majors and oversee multiple squads of common dottari.4
- Lieutenants
- These officers lead individual squads of common dottari.4
- Soldiers
- Sometimes called "common dottari" or simply "dottari", soldiers act in squads overseen by lieutenants.4
The dottari of specific city sectors often have a modified designation. For instance, the dottari of Westcrown's canals and waterways are known as "condottari" (canal wardens), while those who patrol its ruins are known as "rundottari" (ruin wardens).3
