Anguish
Structure
The structure of Anguish is divided into four distinct categories. The Arch Duke or Duchess, The Dukes and Duchesses, the Wyrms, and the cattle.
Ever since the inception of Anguish, the primary and sole leader is called the arch duke. They take their claim by force, and battle off opposing dragons as fiercly and mercilessly as possible. They control a vast majority of wealth within Anguish, totaling over fourty eight million gold pieces. The archduke is treated as both a king and high priest/priestess of Průhledná. Dukes are those within anguish that have been able to grow, and keep, their own personal hordes, defending them from other dukes or wyrms within the realm. Each duke takes over a central location within their lands, and alters the land however they see fit, to ensure their comfort and the complacency of the masses. Underneeth the duke lie the wyrms. These are dragons who have failed to obtain a reasonable enough horde of their own, and so are commanded by the dukes as knights would obey a lord. Only true dragons may become wyrms or higher. Everything else is treated as cattle. They are allowed only the right to be eaten, and the right to entertain their superiors. From there, it is the decision of those above their station on what each cattle deserves and how they are treated.
