Vinay Del Zexay houses a monarchy that has dwindled in its blood lineage as the last remaining blood heir (the late king) had no children. However he did marry and thus the kingdom is led by the queen, Amelia Berlin. She makes the major decisions in the kingdom as the royal figure head.
The Queen’s administration is run by Parliament. This is made up of a board of nobles that are elected into office every two years. They advise the queen and prepare matters in the kingdom to be brought before the queen for a final decision. Parliament must have a unanimous vote in order to veto a decision made by the queen.
The Merchants guild is the third largest decision making party in Vinay Del Zexay. They handle the regulation in trade in the kingdom. Every decision made by them is reviewed by Parliament and then the queen. Tensions often rise between the two.
The Military in Vinay Del Zexay is quite expansive. Most males are trained in combat as an educational standard. All males must serve a year of military service within their time in the kingdom. Training is not brutal and there is a separation between those that make military service a career and those that are simply serving their required time. However all trainees are required a certain proficiency in a designated military skill and will be tested. Failure to achieve said proficiency levels results in an additional year of military service. In the event of an emergency, previously discharged citizens may be called again to fight for the kingdom.
Vinay Del Zexay houses a large army of competent soldiers. They excel in archery skills and horse Calvary. There are excellent swordsmen throughout the city and they are often buttressed by wearing durable armor. Defensively the kingdom is naturally fortified due to the elevated terrain of the mountains.
Vinay Del Zexay’s back up defense is the Queen Amelia Berlin and her Gale rune. The Gale Rune is a powerful rune of wind magic. With it Amelia is capable of sensing phenomenon approaching the kingdom and use wind based magic.
She is capable of summoning storms of violent wind, whirlwinds, hurricanes, and healing winds. Magic on a large scale is very physically taxing and thus she is required a cool down after a large attack. She is not immune to her own abilities so she must be clear of a large scale wind attack lest she suffer the consequences as well.
