The Conference of Monarchs is intended as a quarterly gathering of flag and crew leaders (and other "Important Folk") to check on the status of each ocean and its players. The first conference in October 2006 was attended by the monarchs (or appointed royal representatives) of the most famed flags on each ocean to discuss player issues, good aspects, and which areas of the game need the most focus. The next conference in February 2007 was attended by flag leaders, crew leaders from highly famed crews, and other interested parties who applied to Hypnos via haiku.
