Duthgar

Officially Duthgar is ruled by King Koso the 1st a dead dog that has been preserved by taxidermy he came to power in 6660 SU but due to the fact that he is not considered fit to lead the Advisers to the king rule in his stead, and have been doing so since then.

After the Civil war in that erupted due to King Koso coronation there were 8 advisers who were given the ability to appoint their own successor encase they die but these were always very political choices when an adviser died with out a successor their seat was left empty.Thus there are now only 3 advisers who dispense the rule of the King. In the last 76 years there have been a total of 27 different advisers and none of them stepped down from their position, they have all died during their tenure most officially due to natural causes. The current advisers are Vedris Eowdra, Kaei Eowdra and Pira Olomaric, Vedris and Kaei are two of the sons of Wilgord Eowdra who was a previous adviser.

Officially it is illegal to worship gods other than the seven seen or unseen gods, but this law is very lacks in most places and only enforced where the town governor is particularly zealous. There are some temples to none approved gods but mostly outside of cities and settlements, which allow them to operate with less harassment, as long as they're large enough that doing anything to them wouldn't be a quiet afair.

History
In 2087 the first king of Duthgar Norf Gathia became the ruler of the Duth tribe which was one of the largest in the area during a war with his neighbouring tribe, he went on to defeat the tribe and intergarted the survivors into his tribe and took their land, he then set his eyes on the next nearest tribe and began a campaign of rapid expansion by 2105 his empire had engulphed 5 other tribes and Norf declared himself the ruler of this area and named it Duthgar. The area continued to grow as his descendants continued expand the kingdom during their reigns with varying degrees of success other tribes in the area began banding together which slowed Duthgars progress but it wasn't until they expanded up to the boarders of Muin-Ru to the west and the countries of Mer-Fen and Tek-Rien to the east.

When the Last human ruler King Dremar the 3rd had twin sons, Farlin and Astor who spent more time fighting over who would be a better ruler than actually preparing to be one. The king decided to punish them with the very real threat of him making his favourite dog the next ruler who happened to have died in 6558. Even this however, was not enough to straighten them out, the King had made it official with the intention of returning the inheritance to one of his children or at least a human but he was suddenly killed and the edict stood. The of advisers of the king were now advisers to Koso and as such ruled in "his" best interest, the two princes weren't very happy about this and rallied armies to try and take the throne by force but they were also set on stopping each other, this started the Duthgarian civil war which lasted for five years causing a lot of damage to the country. The victor of the civil war was the advisers to the king who continue to rule to this day.
