- | The Commonality is almost entirely non-hierarchical - the collective decisions of each Confluence are the most powerful authority regarding the individuals in that Confluence. There are certain exceptions - such as the Captain of a Commonality starship, who is granted the decision-making power of the Confluence of their ship in combat situations. In similar situations, over short time periods, the full power of the Confluence is invested within a single individual, referred to as an Archon - although they usually remain accountable to their Confluence when it has time to convene later on. These sorts of arrangements are typically strongly bonded and considerable mutual trust is established between the Archon and their Confluence. Effective Archons are likely to be high-status individuals within the Commonality, and are known for their intelligent and quick decision making. | + | [{{ :image:commonality:diplomatic_elysian_byagentbsmith.jpg?250|<html><font color=black>Archons command the respect of their Confluence, and their authority derives from its blessing</font></html>}}]The Commonality is almost entirely non-hierarchical - the collective decisions of each Confluence are the most powerful authority regarding the individuals in that Confluence.

Other “Titled” individuals do exist within the Commonality, with some authority over Confluences in specific areas. These individuals usually derive their authority either from higher-level Confluences, who appoint them to enforce their Settled Decisions, or from Judges, on whose behalf they can advise and Guide a whole range of Confluences. | Other “Titled” individuals do exist within the Commonality, with some authority over Confluences in specific areas.
