Babel Lord

Babel Lords serve as overlords and rulers of sky islands within the Babel Skyline. They tend to be powerful individuals that have formed specific pacts or contracts with the Tutelary Guardians of the island they lord over. Each island can only have one lord and each Tutelary Guardian can only have one contract with a person at a time.
Since Al Hazard conquered the Babel Skyline, most Babel Lords are affiliated with his family; though there are exceptions. 
==Authority==
A lord's authority is granted by the Tutelary Guardian which inhabits the island. Though given authority, the lord's serve only as a proxy ruler in place of the Tutelary Guardian itself and the Tutelary has the final say in all matters on the island. When one forms a contract with the guardian a special mark appears on them that allows all to know the individual is recognized as the official ruler. A guardian can only revoke the right to rule when a contract is broken or when it or the contractee dies. Lords general serve as rulers and protectors of the realm in-the-face of invaders and intruders.
