+===Regional Politics===
-===Provincial Politics===
+While regional politics are often overlooked in other countries, Aydahari regions operate like small countries.  Each region will decide for itself on a multitude of issues, local taxation, international trade deals, entry visas for foreigners, exit visas for nationals, and lastly military spending and activity.  Regional leaders might get prompting from the [[Elder Council of Aydahar]], on various issues, however the region usually acts autonomously.  The one exception is if a regional leader dies, or is found unfit for office, the [[Eldest of Aydahar]] may step in and name his replacement if the regional government has not already named a successor.
 ===Civic Politics===
-The [[Ortalyk Governor|Governors]] are tasked with maintaining the cities, providing security for the inhabitants and assisting in recruiting for their reigning [[Boyar]].  During times of peace, it is not unusual for a city governorship to be a lifetime appointment unless corruption, egregious mismanagement, or other malfeasance is found in their administration.  Minor frailties in a governor's rule will generally be met with 'special assistance' from the [[Boyar]], or even the Tsar, before they are ever replaced.
+Every settlement in the [[Aydahar Confederation]] is managed by the ''Eldest'' of the settlement.  The ''Eldest'' selected by a political process in place in the city in combination with candidates out-living each other.  When the process is thrown into confusion, perhaps by foul play, then the ''Eldest'' of the settlement might be appointed by the ''Eldest'' of the region or even the [[Eldest of Aydahar]].  In the latter case, the ''Eldest'' might be far less elderly than what is traditional to ensure a long period of loyalty to the [[Eldest of Aydahar]].
 ==Military==
-The [[Ortalyk military]] is made up of 18 regular divisions and one special division dubbed The [[Tsar's Guard]].  The latter are hand picked soldiers from the other provincial regiments.  Provincial divisions are recruited and organized by that province's Boyar, though it is rare for the Boyar to be part of the division.  Each division not led by the Boyar is commanded by soldier of the rank of general.
+The [[Aydahari military]] is actually a collection of ten different militaries from 10 different regions.  As in most of [[Otan]] their standard military unit is called a 'division' which is made up of roughly 10,000 [[Aydahar]] conscripts, each led by a General (one of the rare cases of [[Aydahar]] heirarchy not determined at all by age).
-Military organization can vary from one division to another depending on a number of factors from recruitment and logistics, to terrain and the nature of the enemy.  Flying enemies may require special tactics, while tunneling enemies require another.  The bulk of most regiments are made up of infantry, followed in numbers by crossbowmen, cavalry, engineers, quartermasters, signallers and special forces.  The latter often made up of spellcasters and other adventurer classes.
+Military organization can vary from one region to another and from one division to another, depending on a number of factors.  These can include recruitment, logistics, terrain and the nature of the enemy.  [[Aydahari military]] tactics are unique thanks to their native dragons.  While dragons may not be the most reliable battlefield cohort, they have a tendency of terrifying the enemies they don't outright destroy.  Flying enemies require special tactics; tactics which few opposing forces possess.
-The [[Tsar's Guard]] is in contrast, low on infantry, while rich in crossbow and cavalry.  This special division is also host to some very powerful spellcasters and other adventure classes with the [[Batil Zhurek|Tsar Batil Zhurek]] having often taking to the battlefield himself.

 == History ==
-The capitol of Ortalyk, [[Kala Astanals]], has simply existed for all of known time.  It's name in the [[Ortalykshilar]] tongue, once assumed to be the common tongue means "capitol city".  Under the leadership of the [[Zhurek dynasty]], Ortalyk has been in a state of constant war, most often with Orks and their like but periodically with other more agreeable humanoid racess such as Elves and Dwarves.
+The [[Aydahar Confederation]] was a belligerent in the [[Garis War]], having taken aim principally at [[Ortalyk]].  While the nation might have prevailed against Ortalyk, the combined might of [[Batis]] and [[Ontustik]] threatened to overrun the country from either side.  The [[Eldest of Aydahar]] eventually sued for peace and signed the [[Concord of Kala Astanals]], which brought an end to hostilities [[Otan]]-wide.
-Many of these great conflicts found their origins in the wars fomented by the great wizard Nickar and his sworn enemy Zoranthar.  It was [[Batil Zhurek]] with the help of [[Shardenzar]] who eventually brokered a peace between them.  This peace ultimately spread through most of the [[Otan]], though pockets of conflict continue to exist.

		+	===International Politics===
		+	The [[Aydahar Confederation]] was an aggressor against [[Ortalyk]] during the [[Grendel War]], but the nation is not territorial. Perhaps it's better to say that the [[Aydahar]] are so territorial, that they preferred their own territory to any new land they might have been able to claim during wartime. At present, there are no formal trade agreements between the [[Aydahar Confederation]] and any other nation, though each Region will sometimes make their own trade agreements independent of the [[Elder Council of Aydahar]].
		+
		+	===National Politics===
		+	The [[Elder Council of Aydahar]] is made up of the Regional Elders of each region of the [[Aydahar Confederation]] and the [[Eldest of Aydahar]], .

While keeping life running smoothly in their assigned province is their chief concern, each Boyar is ultimately responsible to provide troops to the Tsar including infantry, crossbowmen and cavalry organized as divisions of the Tsar's Army.
		+
		+	===Provincial Politics===
		+	In every province there are one or more settlements of a thousand or more [[Ortalykshilar]]. Each of the 28 settlements is administered by a [[Ortalyk Governor\|Governor]], who is appointed either by their representative [[Boyar]] or in some cases, by the Tsar himself.
		+
		+	===Civic Politics===
		+	The [[Ortalyk Governor\|Governors]] are tasked with maintaining the cities, providing security for the inhabitants and assisting in recruiting for their reigning [[Boyar]].
