The Margraves of Grenze
Structure
A loose confederation of various Margraves, each rules a mostly indipendent city-state across the Grenze. Politics here are a violent and bloody affair, with the idiom "might makes right" ringing as true as steel. After the collapse of the The Old Empire in the region, each margrave sought to have power over the other, creating alliances and taking territory through near-constant warfare. Such alliances never last long as each margrave wants to be the head, and the landscape is rife with townships which pay taxes to whichever lord is occupying their lands at that time.
Occasionally, circumstance dictates that a margrave lose their land, but their army is loyal enough to remain by their side. Such margraves are titled "Exhumiert," a term unique to the Grenze, and they will keep this title even if they again become landed. Such a title brings with it many nuances, as it is both a deragitory term and one speaking to its holder's merit.
