Lord-Regent of the Southlands

The Lord-Regent of the Southlands is the second most influential person in the Kingdom as he is the person that sets up the rules for the whole realm.

The Lord-Regent is usually one of the greater noblemen of the Southlands that was appointed by the King himself. The Lord-Regent is seated in his own manor in Highthrone and generally works either at the Grand Palace or the Great Court.
