Celestial Ministry

 * Minister of Flame: Minister Zal

Ministry of Earth
The Ministry of Earth is synonymous with paperwork; record keeping, building projects, accounting, and more fall under this ministry's purview. The Ministry of Earth is infamous for beginning public projects that never seem to get finished, but prove profitable to the friends and allies of the ministry.


 * Mythical Power: Control over the bounties of the land—animal, vegetable, and mineral.

Ministry of Water
This ministry controls the city's water supply, irrigation, and the fishing industry, as well as sharing direct control of Cantha's harbors with the Ministry of Wind (an eternal bone of contention).

 * Minister of Water: Minister Nai

Ministry of Wind
Also referred to as the Ministry of Air, the Ministry of Wind oversees all trade and shipping that relies on the wind — over land or across the sea. Ship captains pay taxes that (the ministry claims) make the winds blow in the desired direction. The Ministry of Wind shares control of Cantha’s ports with the Ministry of Water.


 * Mythical Power: Controls the winds and storms.


 * Minister of Wind: Minister Tao
