Province of Cassius
The Province for All
Before it was even considered the first province, our caels guided us to this land first. As people’s numbers grew, it was only natural for them to spread out further. The caels helped with this by going ahead and specializing the other regions further for the specific peoples. Ever since Ardentry’s founding, Cassius would forever be known as a foundation for the rest of the Kingdom to thrive. It is the heart of our civilization, to put it simply.
Demographics
Compared to the other provinces, Cassius is a diverse and varied province. Many races, those of the Cael’s blessed, and even ones who became temporal or corrupted can be found amongst the population here more easily.

Government
Majesty of the Province
A Monarch rules over the province in the City of Hearth. They have the fullest say of what goes on over the province, overruling any decrees of the governors and mayors. Because the ruler over the region is a monarch, they are typically called on to settle disputes within other provinces should dukes have difficulty in agreements.
Amelia Dundragon is the current ruler over the province. She is descended from the famed Evendur Dundragon.

The magistrate designs the necessary laws and leads over the Civil Guard for the province. Oftentimes they must coordinate with local governors and mayors for what is necessary to legislate.
Governor
A governor is someone who leads over one of the three towns in the region. Governors are appointed by the mayors and must agree unanimously with the queen to have it official.
Mayor
A mayor is someone who oversees one of the many villages within the province. They are appointed by a vote from the locals.
Defences
Auxiliary
Because Cassius is an interior province protected by its outer siblings in the event of an invasion, the need for a military force is debatable. The Civil Guard can handle a majority of the local issues that an army is overqualified for anyways. Both previous monarchs, dukes, and duchesses have compromised with the idea of the Auxiliary. An armed force that would lend additional aid and reinforcements for the other provinces.
The other five provinces have a majority race in their regiments, such as the Province of Kalaura having a majority of avians within its ranks. As a result, a Kalauran army would focus on a lot of aerial attacks. The army in Haliah, with majority of elves, would focus on ranged attacks and precise strikes. As for the Auxiliary, it takes the ideas and methods of all five provinces and tries its best to incorporate them as a result of its varied soldiers.
Civil Guard
The Civil Guard are the bare bone defenses and city watch over the province. They are often the first to be called on to resolve any serious disputes before needing to call on the Auxiliary to resolve things.
