Node governments are chosen from a node's citizenry when a node reaches stage 3 (Village).[2]
Positions within a node's government are attained through titles that grant special access to NPCs in the node.[3]
- Mayor.[4]
- Priests, bishops or acolytes in certain temples.[5][3]
- Patron guild leader.[3]
- Chief bounty hunter.[3]
There are a lot of things that you can strive for within [a node] that grant you that special treatment.[3] – Steven Sharif
