The City lord.
A title given to one who lorded over a city. A city that wasn't considered a major one, that is.
It was given to create a gulf between one who ruled a small city and the one who ruled over a large one, the latter being called a Governor.
A city lord's duty wasn't only to oversee activity within a city but within the area that was supported by the city; the people that interacted with the city, the region's vegetation, animals and threats.
Multiple small cities existed to carry the work delegated by larger cities which was just a bigger version of what the smaller cities did.
The situation wasn't different in Inhone City.
It was considered one of the better cities as the City lord was a man with a good head on his shoulders.
He was often compared with the City lord of Eofel, who played by his own rules, a luxury afforded to him due to the lax nature of the Royal Family's management.
