From his beginning as a conquering enemy of [[Layonara]], [[Lord Rael]] has engineered an incredibly subtle and ultimately successful public relations campaign for both his people and his god. He has made very strict but fair laws that are executed uniformly in public. His decrees add stability and decrease [[crime]]. Trade is flourishing under his rule, albeit with a heavy Lord's Tax in goods. The majority of his council is kept by Deep dwarves and half a handful of humans, however, no elves, no [[gnomes]], no halflings, and [[Sulterio]] forbids no surface dwarves bend his ear. Basically, his word is law. What Lord Rael wants, Lord Rael gets. | |||
Despite his complete power, [[the Deep]] Lord does not present himself as a crushing dictator. He may consider his political moves with care and control information flow ruthlessly; even so, for the most part, people are allowed to live their lives. Town criers are allowed to spread information, so long as their news is vetted through the castle first. The streets and buildings are kept up and the sewers are kept clean. Taxes are kept simple: 30 percent of each quarter's production in goods rather than coin. | Despite his complete power, [[the Deep]] Lord does not present himself as a crushing dictator.
