Structure
Each major city is ruled by a leader known as a Starosta.
Advisors known as Mastimmes are sent to the major cities of puppet nations to help maintain political control. The Mastimme of each major city is responsible for communication with the central political power in Capitol (often utilizing arcane means), and thus is often considered to be the voice of the empire.
The Ryndarien empire is ruled by a single emperor who serves as the head of state. The current emperor is Yuriel Ryndarian.

Foreign Relations
The Ryndarien empire controls two puppet states, which were previously controlled by the Noble houses House Hardt and House Blackwater before being conquered through military campaign. Both states were allowed to maintain some semblance of their existing culture and political structure, but now maintain only nominal sovereignty. Additionally, both houses were required to instate temples of The Novum in their major cities and abstain from worshipping outlawed deities.
Worship
The Ryndarien empire recognizes 9 major deities, known collectively as the The Novum. Worship of non approved deities is forbidden by law.
Priesthood
