The Twelve of Keterden

Keterden is directly controlled by twelve noble families, each of which control either a specific territory or element of society. Six of the families rule the six provinces of Keterden while the other six control public works, education, the military and the like.
They are held in check by the thirteenth house who do not control any particular part of society. They are still deferred to by the other houses, considered as arbiters of the peace. Many historians have inquired into the nature of this arrangement but nobody has ever been willing to discuss how such an arrangement came about.
