Societies and Government on Duria

Societies on Duria range from the simple clans of Calmeria to the complex constitutional monarchies of Koramia and Illyria. Cambrecia has been a theocracy for centuries, though after the chaos of The Dark Times, it has developed into a substantially less domineering theocracy. One notable aspect of Duria is that several regions that were once autocratic in nature have become more democratic since the dawn of the Fourth Age of Man. Neptaris, of course, has been a democracy since its foundation two millennia ago, but with the rise of the Republic of Enesia, the Stenoa Freehold and additional rights for the people of even traditional monarchies, people across Duria have had more say in their local and national political structure, for good or for ill.

Duria is also home to Lun Dorak, the one known Magocracy. Despite their defeat at the conclusion of the Mage War, Lun Dorak remains dominated by the wizard class, with priests considered second-class citizens and non-magical citizens as slaves. Only the rebel Stenoa Freehold stands against their oppression and seeks to overthrow the Dorakian Mages.
