Kingdoms

Kingdoms are entities whose rights and sovereignty are generally accepted by the populace and other kingdoms. Warlords, rebels, religious movements and other groups may sometimes hold territory, but their grip will be tenuous unless they can gain recognition as a kingdom. Kingdoms are dominated by noble who govern settlements and lead armies. All kingdoms have a ruler as well as a council of the major clans. The council weighs in on major decisions, such as the passing of , distributing new fiefs and declaring war or making peace. The ruler is generally well-advised, but not required, to follow a council's decisions.
