Ýěbetral

Ýěbetral is a combination of the Vidrur words for unity and community, signifying the unification of the previously separate Ibujěbu and Ranenjěbu.

Structure

Ýěbetral is a co-principality, ruled simultaneously by the Ibumyakye (Cave-Princess), Iste and the Ranenkwubya (Forest-Prince), Seluku. Both of these titles are hereditary, with the title being inherited by the oldest child of the title holder.
The Princes appoint governors to govern major cities. These governors are considered representatives of the Princes in the cities they govern.
Governors appoint mayors to govern towns and villages around major cities. These mayors are considered representatives of the Princes in the towns they govern.
Any of these people may appoint judges to adjudicate legal and civil disputes. These judges are considered representatives of the Princes only when adjudicating.

History

Goblins were native to Zelunica when the Zelunii arrived. They were the most developed people that the Zelunii met, having been the first to form a kingdom. This kingdom remained intact and independent until the arrival of the New Abrizan Empire, when the goblins were forced to flee into caves and forests. The New Abrizan Empire razed the former kingdom's cities, killing the goblins who remained behind.
The goblins stayed in hiding until 1240, during the fall of the Empire. At this point, they were two separate tribes: the Ibujěbu (cave-resident) and the Ranenjěbu (forest-resident). They lived in their separate tribes for many years, but at this point they were behind the rest of the world politically and technologically. The leaders of the two tribes eventually decided to reunite the tribes into one kingdom, which became known as Ýěbetral. They could not come to a decision regarding which of the previous leaders should lead the new kingdom, and eventually it was decided that both would rule simultaneously, so that the needs of both the Ibujěbu and Ranenjěbu would be considered equally. Thus, the proposed kingdom ended up being a co-principality.
Today, the terms Ibujěbu and Ranenjěbu aren't entirely accurate, since many goblins now live in aboveground cities. Despite this, these terms are still in use, and goblins are still somewhat divided by their ancestry.
