Zagyath

Population: 600 thousand. A barbarian realm to the south of and partly surrounded by the Ratsgar Massif . The country shares its border with the Pandese Empire, who consider Zagyath a rebellious province, the source of many border skirmishes. The capital is Izagy. The tribes inhabiting Zagyath originally lived in northeastern Dacria, but were absorbed by the Iluvar in the 8th century. The tribes broke away from the Iluvar and moved to Ishendekel, where they reestablished Zagyath in 923.

Legal system. Zagyath is divided into great family or clans. There is no permanent head of state, but the triumvirates from each tribe may gather to elect a dictator if necessary. The sages disagree on this point, as some state that a ruler has led Zagyath since around 1050, and that succession occurs according to ancient Zagy rules. Every clan is ruled by a triumvirate made up by a warrior, a priest and a sage. The warrior is concerned about the security of the clan, the priest about correctness and decency (vis-a-vis the gods and nature), and the sage is concerned about the needs of the clan. All decisions are made by simple majority. If two clans disagree, then the conflict is resolved by three duels, in which the warriors, priests and sages are paired off. The three winners then decide what should be done. Crimes are judged by a kind of trial in which the priest questions witnesses, the sage questions the accused, and the warrior is on call if the accused or some witness must be found. After the questioning, the three meet to produce a verdict. The worst punishment they can mete out is exile, the death penalty is considered less harsh.
