Then, you got the kingdom, they take a cut and you follow the rules of yer liege lord and lady.

And indeed, the government of Succession has many layers. Most recently, magic has been outlawed without the permission of the crown, and while public displays are difficult to police, Deep [[dwarf]] guards on loan and wearing the livery of the [[Succession Kingdom]] are increasingly seen in the larger towns. Also, nearly all the large temples in the kingdom have been reassigned duties relating to civil life; most of the clergy have moved north or left the realm altogether. So far, no other rules have percolated north from Rael, but the populace as a whole seems wary and resigned that more regulation is coming. | And indeed, the government of Succession has many layers.
