| Notes | |
| In theory, the king rules over the nation, but in practice, most day-to-day governance is handled by his priesthood. He makes very few public appearances, except for religious holidays. | |
When Alkanos returned from the north with an army, several battles were fought but his conquest was inevitable. He chose to build a new city as his capital, which has only recently been finished. The location doesn't appear to have any significance. It wasn't built on the coast or on a river. His castle stands in the very center of the city, with stone roads radiating outward in a peculiar manner. There's clearly a pattern to them, but it's unclear why they were laid out this way. Most of the roads were built before any structures were erected (with the exception of the castle).
Officially, Alkanos rules the city, but in practice he is not involved in day-to-day decisions. His priests (whom revere him as a god) function as administrators and feudal lords. Many high priests have castles scattered throughout the country, but return to the city every three months for council meetings (some of the high priests leave their castles to subordinates and remain in the city throughout the year).
Laws are strict and oppressive, and the priesthood is frequently rooting out potential rebels (some actual threats, but many imagined). Corruption is high, both with the priesthood and underground movements. A large number of citizens have illegal weapons and armor hidden away. The city's military force is well-trained and armed. The city guard is officially part of the military force, and counts many priests among its ranks. Patrols through the city are frequent and large.
I should probably add something here.
