Nomarch

See also: Government of Absalom

Nomarch is a title within the government of Absalom, the City at the Center of the World. Each of the city's 10 main districts is governed by a district council, which is headed by its nomarch. The nomarch is appointed by the city's Low Council and must be approved by the Primarch. The citizens of each district have no say over who is selected to be its nomarch. The Precipice Quarter has no nomarch, as it is functionally abandoned, while Azlanti Keep is controlled by the First Guard. The nomarch of each council also sits on the Low Council of Absalom, but may not sit on the Grand Council due to the Reborn Rebellion of 1464 AR.
