Political hierarchy of the Reach

Post by roerich »

On the top is King Barda the Builder, son of King Vorngyd, Ruler of the Reachlands, the Middle and Upper Karth, the northern Sundered Hills, Mount Snowhawk, the Western Hills, the Vorngad and the Hammer (the cliff upon which Elfstone Keep and Markarth Side is located).

His heirs are the eldest son Prince Arald who resides in Karthasten, learning the art of governance from Thane Frovol Low-Brow, and the younger son Prince Bergar, who is enlisted in the Imperial Legion fortress of Northwatch (Western Haafinheim).

The second level is the Jarls who rule over Jarldoms of their own. Nordic society is a fractious one, and while most Jarls are truly loyal to the King, their Jarldoms possess a certain degree of self-governance. Political and lawful power is often backed up by military power, and the Nordic philosophy is very much akin to the saying "Might makes right".
