The Erumaran System of Government.
Ruled by a King, Queen, or Regent.
Dukes/Duchesses are selected by the King/Queen/Regent to manage each individual city.
The public has no direct voice in politics, but the King/Queen/Regent/Duke/Duchess is required by law to hear the opinions or concerns of his/her subjects on a daily basis for 4 hours in their respective main halls.
The Merusia System Of Government
Ruled by three Sultans, can only be male.
Only the words of the noble and merchant classes are heard by the Sultan, and only when the Sultan wishes to. Commoners are ignored and used as pawns by the upper classes. Slavery is frowned upon in Merusia but not illegal.
The Delmoran System of Government
Ruled by a King, Queen, or Regent.
A council of elected officials provide the voice for all of the populace of Delmor, but the final decision lies with the ruling party.
The Elven System of Government
The elven kingdoms each had their own title for their king like figures and a council of twelve elders would gather to cast votes twice a month on important government actions and laws. To become an elder, that elf has to have lived for at least three centuries. Since the fall of their kingdoms, the small tribes of elves are now governed by their council of elders.
The common populace can elect speakers to voice their opinions during the council gatherings, or can directly visit a group of elders and express their opinions or concerns.
The Governments of Korlithan, Gosni, and Nevraeisan Societies Each Korlithian city is ruled by a Shroudlord/lady, which is a chosen of Korlith, and they are advised by four of their chosen male or female.
In a Korlithian society both genders are considered equal, noble houses are ruled by the eldest family member, class rooms are unisex, and any level of social status can be achieved by anyone. Slaves still have no power.
Each Nevraen city is ruled by a Blademaster, and is advised by the city’s Archmage and a council of ten head males from the ten strongest noble houses.
Nevraen males demand the same respect from women and slaves, as Maerlithen females demand the same from males and slaves. In a Nevraen society women can only hold three positions of power in these undercities: They can become weaponmasters, Instructors (For Females only), or City Generals.
In both of these male run societies the assassination of a rival or family member is frowned upon and discouraged, but assassinations are still an accepted aspect of life.
In a Gosnian society, a Plaguemaster, who is a chosen of Gosn, rules over the city. Males are at the top of the social pyramid, with no exceptions. Females are treated as breeding slaves, and slaves are treated brutally (even by Drow standards). Murder is the most holy of actions in Gosnian society, and so assassinations are rampant (even by Drow standards).
The Government of Lysiian Societies
In Lysiian society men and women are treated equally, there are no noble families, and no slaves. Men and woman can choose to join the Magae Academy, Martial Academy, or Clergy. Class rooms are unisex. Killing a family member or another citizen is especially heinous. The city is commanded by a Regent elected into office by elder clergy members. The Regent is advised by an elected council of twelve, anyone of any standing can be voted into office.
The Government of Maerlithen Societies
Each city is ruled by the six matrons that succeeded in gaining ample favor in the eyes of their goddess, by killing off rival houses.
Women are automatically inducted into the all female clergy of Maerlithe, unless they are born a slave. These priestesses command the respect of everyone, except for a priestess that outranks them.
Men have a few positions of power, but they still must kneel and give their utmost respect to any woman; with the exception of slaves. Men can become a weaponsmaster, Archmage, Instructor (For Males Only) or a City General.
Slaves have absolutely no rights.
The Rash-Voken System of Government
Ruled a King or Council.
Rash Vok`s royal family once ruled with honor and righteousness, and whenever a royal was too young to assume the throne the council ruled briefly in their stead. For the past eight hundred years though the mysterious and tyrannical King Azoth has ruled after forcefully removing the royal family from power.
