Den'Roth Thaumatocracy
The Lizardpeople realm of Den'roth is ruled by a Thaumatocracy - a group of mages. The mages are supposed to rule as a council, but in line with Lizardpeople practice, the group has one leader and a complex internal dynamics to support or challenge the hierarchy.
There are 9 members of the Thaumathocracy. They are raised and elected through the ranks of the Den'roth magical organization, which is open to any mage to join. By furthering their magical prowess and broadening their influence, the mages grow in the guild ranks. Some gain the clout to be elected as one of the nine. Even then the chosen ones need to continue scheming to end up on top of the Thaumathocracy, as well as look out for the newcomers rising from the ranks of the guild.
Each level of guild masters elects the masters of the rank directly above them.
The positions of power are by definition closed to those without magical talent. However, mages always have numerous retinue and advisors from mundane Lizardpeople.
Economy is market-based.
Public Agenda
Being a power structure and a guild at the same time, the Thaumatocracy vows to uphold and further the magic for the benefit of all people.
