Other Governments¶
The ruling bodies of polities outside Proturas, the Sancturi Imperium and the Riven Kingdoms: an undead dominion, a fallen elven house, the wardens of a demon-haunted island, a wizard-run confederation and the consuls of the draconian empire. The lands themselves are Geography's; these pages describe who rules them and how.

High Consuls¶
In the compendium's present the draconian Empire of Pherox is "ruled by an Emperor and a 11 High Consuls. Each High Consul governs a district of the empire. When the emperor dies, his replacement is selected by the Consuls. However, the past 3 emperors have managed to arrange a son as their replacement. Current Emperor is Ptoko Tholovassus, a Blue Draconian" (S372).
The consuls rule a caste society. "Draconian society is very regimented, and draconians which rebel against this regimen are enslaved", as are draconian criminals. Beneath the nobility caste, "males capable of flight and their female relations", stand the worker caste of "flightless males and females who have produced flightless children" and the slave caste of "captured slaves of all races and dishonored draconians (they will have had their horns removed, males will also have had their wings removed)" (S372). The empire's slaves, its raids and its history are on the Pherox page; the people on the Draconians page.
