The governing authority within a Gamorrean clan was the Council of Matrons. Male boars, known as Warlords, held military command over these clans. However, the female sows managed the clan's administration and all day-to-day operations. The sows with the most influence were the matrons, and their marriage elevated their spouse to the position of Warlord. The Council of Matrons oversaw all aspects of the clan's affairs, including declarations of war, and was led by the Clan Matron, who was wedded to the Clan Warlord, the army's General.
