Editing Suhder (section)

== Government ==
Suhder is the capital of the Astran League and political center of the nation. The League is ruled by Archon Hrak and Inmer Assembly. The Archon, who took power during the Caste Uprising of 674PCA, is credited almost exclusively with overseeing Suhder's transition from a theocratic city state, to an autocratic empire, and then a unity state. While it was not him that disposed the theocratic Council of Faithful, it was during his rise to power many laws were rewritten and it is these laws that have modelled the political system we see today. 

As the Inmer Assembly's responsibilities and power grew it created several bodies to which it delegated powers, all of which report to the Assembly and the Archon:
*'''The Omphalos Ministries''' who draft and propose new laws and are responsibly for collecting taxes. 
*'''The Astran Emissaries''' are the chosen representatives hailing from different provinces and function as their ambassadors
*'''The Platinum Court''' who oversee the different courts and dispense justice.
*'''The Ptarian Order''' who keep order in the League's cities and borders. Rumors are that they serve as the eyes and ears of the Archon and swear only allegiance to him.
These four branches form the political backbone of the nation, while the Archon has been absent for most of the proceedings for a number of decades. In fact, while Archon Hrak still holds the power ascribed to him in the Astran Accords, it is said he has not used these powers in over a century. Many have suggested that the Archon is no longer fit to rule, on account of his old age, and some have even said that he has been long dead.

Suhder works closely with the four other major cities in the Astran League: Trepun and Bazit are large trading hubs on their own, Pinst is the industrial center of the League, and Rivemont has developed itself to be the center of Arcane and Technological development over the last decades. 

Diplomatically the League finds itself in a trading alliance with the Brightreef Coalition to the south-west and the Mohnian Dominion to the North, while a strained and cold relation has been worsening for years with the Arcanists of the Spirelink Alliance to the South.
