The '''Principal of the Western Marches''' is the elected regional authority responsible for the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]]-chartered settlements of the [[Pelervar/Western Marches|Western Marches]] — their roads, border defence, recognised towns, and inter-town disputes. The Principal is elected by the registered citizens of the region's recognised settlements and confirmed by the Council, and sits at the '''Principal's Hall''' in [[Pelervar/Ashford|Ashford]].

The office carries a separate ''advisory'' regional voice on the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council]], not a full city vote. The crisis in the Marches has left the Principal with far less to govern than the office once commanded, but its authority over the region as a whole remains real if diminished.

{{NotePelervar|'''Do not confuse''' the Principal of the Western Marches (the region) with the '''Mayor of Ashford''' (the city itself).}}
