Quotes

The Panarch of Tanchico is the equal of the king in authority, she is responsible for collecting taxes, customs and duties; he for spending them properly. She controls the Civil Watch and the courts, except for the High Court, which is the king’s. The army is his, of course, except for the Panarch’s Legion" (Elayne,The Shadow Rising, Chapter 11)
