Navarchs are the rulers of the city-states of the Sea of Ersas, elected from among each city's major merchants and influential families. While originally a rank used for those who led fleets of warships, roughly akin to an admiral, the smaller sizes and populations of the city-states led to them being military surpassed by their neighbors centuries ago, and therefore in the modern day they rarely undertake any military expeditions aside from those targeting pirates and raiders. The title remains, however, but now indicates an almost entirely civilian status.
Places ruled by navarchs are called navarchates.
