Government & CurrencyCurrencyThe coins used by the Valgarins are made from Bronze. They make this bronze through the blending of copper ores with Tin. GovernmentThe Valgarins form of government is the Clan System. Each family is a member of a clan, and the Skoll Thanes elect a High King. The High King is usually Skoll, as the Ceiki have little interests in politics. Most Valgarins are not very interested in politics, Ceiki and Dverge even less than Skoll. As Valgarins are very down to earth, so are their politics uncomplicated and straightforward, with very little bureaucracy. In a clan, the thane or laird is the political leader: legislature, judiciary, and executive authority in one person. All thanes and lairds report to the high thane, but this is mainly a representative position as the high thane rarely meddles in the affairs of the individual clans. Only in times of crisis or wars with forces from outside the kingdom, the high thane gains importance, as all thanes and lairds then meet at the high thane’s place to discuss possible solutions and join forces for the kingdom’s defense. The high thane is usually Skoll, though in history there have been a few rare
Ceiki high thanes, and even one single case of a high thane that was Dverge. The
high thane is elected by the heads of the clans of Valgard, and once every year
the clans gather to swear allegiance to their high thane (see “politics”).
Should in any one year more than one third of the clan leaders present refuse
their oath to the high thane, the high thane is forced to resign and a new one
is elected. This is a rare event, and most high thanes remain in office until
they die or resign due to old age. |
