An autharch was a lesser, local bureaucrat within the hierarchy Thay. They were often appointed as mayors, governors, magistrates or other local leaders who served at the discretion of the regional governors known as tharchions.[1]
These lesser officers were seen as highly-replaceable. Those who proved to be incompetent in their work were readily dispatched. Any autharchs who proved themselves adroit were typically eliminated by their superiors for fear of being supplanted.[1]
