The city has three Lords ruling it as a triumvirate - the Owled Dame, the Spirit of Montreal and the Sinful Creature. They delegate power to "small councils" within the city - Mile End, Mont Royal, and at least three others. These powerful rulers have made the city appealing to magical "bit players" who want stability but not ultimate power over an area.<ref>“Montreal has three Lords and five small councils… five that count.  The Lords are like the kings and queens, with the final say and the ability to create and abolish councils.  The system of small councils means you need permission to attack your council or declare war on another.  If you don’t, you get the Montréal spirit, the Owled Dame, and the Sinful Creature coming after you.  It’s made Montreal a place to be if you want to set down roots and you don’t ever want to be a Lord.  There are a lot of bit players here, and a few major players who have ambitions that have nothing to do with ruling anything.  Your parents included some of them.

June: “How powerful were our parents, both politically and... ‘magically?’ Compared to the Lords and the Councils, maybe using your master as a baseline.”
“For a long time, they were a weak council.  In the last five years, they’ve come to be on par with one of the others, Mont Royal.  I’m afraid I don’t know much.  Certainly not close to the Lords.  Politically?  I think you would know better than I.  They had influence.  The Justaforts especially.” - Mile End: Awakening </ref>
