Politics
Who Rules
The year, in the Xaeyruudh campaign, is 1365 DR. Unther is ruled by Gilgeam.
Who Really Rules
Gilgeam claims the right to overrule any decision made anywhere in Unther (and brutally slay the hapless soul who unwittingly defied his will) but the daily chore of ruling the empire falls to the appointed Great Lords… who generally have the sense not to do anything that could conceivably upset the God-King without getting his approval.
Political Divisions
Unther is divided into thirteen fiefs controlled by Great Lords.
