Political and Social Organization.[]

Alterac officially is ruled by the King with the help of his Chancellors. But has time passed the power and influence of The Chancellors over the goverment grew. First they stripped the Noble Landowners of their and their influence over the peasants, then with the formation of an army only loyal of the king they got rid of their personal armies. Turning them into a mere aristocracy who lived off rents. Also they made certian the King only married with other members of the Royal family with the argument the blood of the Dynasty should remain pure, this eventually took its toll over the mind of the rulers and completing the Chancellors power over the goverment.

Quite recenty all of this suddlenly changed  with the rule of Lord Tendura Xie. Lord Tendura with the help of Caxagord, a chancellor who named himself premier, executed most of the the Chancellors in brutal and public events across the land. However not all of them were killed, Mikhail Gabranth remained neutral during the purges as long his military interests were respected and assured. Bergan Yezhov suddenly resurfaced, along with Yeven Montrose.
