Egund is ruled by the Amber seat, located in the city of Threshold, currently occupied by his grace, King Horas Brantleon.  King Brantleon rules a unique form of Timocracy where the lords of different regions are selected for seats on the Land's Council based on the amount of produce their lands yield each year.  Higher ranking members on the Land's Council have more clout than lower ranking members.  The ranking varies depending on the year.  Only lords on the Land's Council may bring business before the King for ruling.  The King settles all disputes between his lords.  Because the King is considered to own all the lands of Egund, and is responsible for all, he may not be the lord of his own shire.  To accomodate this, the region of Threshire, (where Threshold and the Amber seat is located) is ruled over by a lord appointed by the King who serves as the King's right hand and who is also responsible for the King's personal bodyguard.  The appointed lord surrenders lordship of all previous lands to his closest heir and becomes lord of Threshire.  The current seats on the Land's Council in ranking order are as follows:
 
 
 
Lorrogne: Sir Laird Tobind
 
Esthershire: Sir Karl  Roland
 
Hessia: Sir Otto Von Voss
