Kingdom of Malitis

"'Why are we fighting? Is there a reason for all this meaningless death and destruction? There is no honor, or justice in this war! All it is a bloodbath of innocence on both sides! There is no reason to continue, I sugest we end this now. And rule together. No more war, no more death, no more destruction.' -Lord Caeltas Ravencrown I, of the Unified Human Nations"

The Kingdom of Malitis is a large Kingdom that spreads across all of Malitis. It has ruled over the land for 3000 years, and faced many enemies. It was formed after the Iron War, when the Treaty of Malitis was signed, uniting the Orcs and Humans in peace. Both the United Isles, and the Wyvern Accord are sub-Factions under the Kingdom of Malitis. The Alliance of Amadar holds the Kingdom of Malitis in an alliance with the Elven Empire and the Dwarven Kingdoms.

Government
The government the Kingdom of Malitis is a monarchy, with both a King and a High Warlord that share equal power, only with each other as their superior. To avoid conflicts King Caeltas Ravencrown I agreed to become a Paladin and that all his kin would be trained as such to avoid a tyrant. If the order is broken or corrupt, a full consensus of all the governors can replace the King as a council until a more suiting leader has been found to take his place. The position of High Warlord, however is passed down, but can be taken over by one of Orc decent who believes that the current leader is failing in their duty. The conflict is decided by a one on one duel between the current High Warlord and the challenger, the winner claiming the title High Warlord.

Below the Royal Lines, and their advisers, are the Governors of each Hold. There are 10 holds in the Kingdom of Malitis, each ruled over by a Governor. These holds stretch out to encompass it's regional capital, and many small towns that work under it. In a time of great need the governors can convene a council to replace the King temporarily, until a new king is crowned.

Each Governor is chosen by the King and High Warlord. If one does not like the candidate, they move on until they find a candidate that they both agree on to rule that land. If a governor breaks a law, he may be removed from office at the discretion of the King or High Warlord, and a new one will take their place.

Military
Each party (the King and High Warlord) have 2 military commands under them, the King taking over the skies and seas, while the High Warlord rules over the ground forces as well as all strategic plans and reinforcement soldiers.

Rankings
The Royal Leadership is the branch above all others, they stay out of the main fighting, and mainly rule over the political standings of the Kingdom, while the four High Admirals take care of the military business, but if needed the Royal Leadership will step in as a commander of all branches. The three main branches are the Aerial Armada, the Naval Forces, and the Ground Army. The four High Admirals hold equal ranks, but beyond that there are two ranks for inter-army disputes; Officers, marked by a (*), and Soldiers. If there is an inter-army dispute between an officer and a soldier, it is settled by the officer. If there is a dispute between two soldiers, it is settled by their respective officers. If two Officers have a dispute it is settled by their respective High Admirals. If two High Admirals are in a dispute however, all matters will be settled by the King and High Warlord.

Royal Leadership
The Royal Leadership is split into 2 sections, the Human Leadership and the Orcish Leadership. Each of the three ranks, has two members, one from each side. The King and High Warlord hold the Kingdom as co-monarchs. The Prince and Warlord hold the positions of heir to the Kingdom, both claiming their parents throne if one is to pass. Then there is the third and final rank in the Royal Leadership, the High Seer, and High Chieftain are the advisers to the King and High Warlord, portraying the best interest of the people to their respective monarch. There is then the High Admiral of Strategy, whom is below the Royal Leadership but does not belong in any of the 3 main branches.

King & High Warlord
The King and High Warlord share equal power over the military forces of Malitis. The King and High Warlord usually stay out of military matters, and have their High Admirals deal with all the major problems and missions. When needed the King and High Warlord will step in and make sure the goals and unity are stated and accomplished. The King decides who will be the High Admirals of the Seas and the Sky, commanding them. The High Warlord decides who will be the High Admirals of the Ground and of Strategy, commanding them.

Prince & Warlord
The Prince and Warlord are the heirs to the Kingdom by blood. The Prince gains his birthright when his father dies and he is of age. If his father dies before the crown Prince is of age, then the council of governors will take over temporarily with the powers of the King at a majority vote between them. When the next Prince is of age he will then become King.

The Warlord gains his birthright when he is of age and has passed the trials of the High Warlord. These trials are of the hunt and political training. The last trial being when the Warlord feels that he has learned all he can from his father, he then succeeds him, by slaying his own father in combat. Any Orc of officer ranking in the army can complete this trial, but only the Warlord's life would be spared if failed in the trials, but not an outside challenger's.

High Seer & High Chieftain
The High Seer and High Chieftain are the royal advisers. They usually represent the people of the Kingdom, and they council with representatives from each hold monthly. They then bring the relevant information to the King and High Warlord as the representatives of the people. They are more influential on the King and High Warlord than anyone else in the Kingdom.

The High Seer is usually a powerful divine or arcane spellcaster that is chosen by the King, and stays as the High Seer until death. When the High Seer breaks with law, the King is forced to revoke his position.

The High Chieftain is usually a warrior of some sort. He is usually selected to be High Chieftain from a vote of all of the Orc Clans. If a Chieftain wishes for a new High Chieftain, all they must do is challenge the High Chieftain to combat to the death. If the High Chieftain is slain, a new one will be elected, with the challenger of the duel having two votes instead of one.

High Admiral of Strategy
The High Admiral of Strategy is not a part of the Royal Leadership, but he is not a part of the three branches of the army either. He is of equal rank to the other three High Admirals, and is usually the mediator between inter-army disputes. He is in charge of all strategic operations and devising the battle plans for war. While he is not a part of any of the main army branches, he still has a large force under him. He commands a small portion of troops representing each branch. These are considered reinforcement troops, to be used as their own branch, not under their respective branches. The High Admiral of Strategy works under the commands of the High Warlord.

The Aerial Armada of Malitis
The Aerial Armada of Malitis is the smallest of the three branches of the army. Because of this it is also the hardest to get accepted into. The Kingdom of Malitis only has a small amount of Airships at it's command, therefor it only has a limited force in the skies. While it may be small, it is just as powerful as any other branch in the military. The Airships all hold Gryphons and flying spellcasters to support the Airships in combat.

1: Aerial Admiral*
The Aerial Admiral is the High Admiral of the Aerial Armada of Malitis. He is also the captain of the Aasimar's Fate, the flagship of the Kingdom of Malitis. He is of equal rank to the other 3 High Admirals, but is sometimes more respected than the other High Admirals, because he leads the Flagship which is a beacon of hope in any battle. No Aerial Admiral has ever died or retreated in combat. The Aerial Admiral works under the commands of the King.

2: Sky Captain*
The position of Sky Captain is given to the 9 captains of the Airships owned by the Kingdom of Malitis. The position of Sky Captain is by being the next in command aboard an Airship when the previous captain dies, retires, is promoted, or is removed from command.

3: 1st Commander*
The position of 1st Commander is those of 2nd in command of the 9 Airships owned by the Kingdom of Malitis. It is gained and lost in the same way as the Sky Captain.

4: 2nd Commander*
The position of 2nd Commander is those of 3rd in command of the 9 Airships owned by the Kingdom of Malitis. The position is only given to the Lieutenant Commander with the most extraordinary service record. When the position for the 2nd Commander is open, it is given to the most qualified Lieutenant Commander aboard any Airship, so they may not always stay on the same Airship.
