Telish Throne: Government: Difference between revisions

The mido is the leader of the people of the [[Telish Throne]]. He has absolute power, making all final decisions, and answers to no one. The pendant of office is transferred from father to son, although this presents a problem as Gunther has only a daughter and his wife is estranged. There is no provision for a council and with the old system of lords abolished the only voice to reach the Mido's ears is that of his chosen Kagi.

Each taun (town) is governed by a male chosen by the mido. The sitchu may have a council if he wishes but it is not required and he is only answerable to his liege. The sitchu is more a judge than a mayor, but acts in both capacities as needed. The naval forces have a techu appointed by the mido, and the soldiers and other ground forces are lead by the meja-, also appointed by the mido.

The only other person of notable power is the High [[Druid]] of [[Tilmar]] and [[Corsain]], the druidess Brisbane. She answers only to the Hierophant but can sometimes be seen discussing matters with the Kagi at the goten in [[Huangjin]]. In no way can the leadership of the Telish Throne or Bilkan interfere with her work, at risk of estranging the druidic order.
