Heyyy, servers are back up!
So i got to thinking that i should talk more about Brythain's situation at home. As previously mentioned, the organization of Bythain is thus:
Âlt Rî, the Pendefigs (princes) of the various luîth(clans) and Cynnings of the three Englisc "tribes" below him, and below them are dirprûy(deputies) and great thegns.
The pendefigs select the next Âlt Rî in the senâdh, and in turn, each time a pendefig or cynning dies, the Âlt Ri chooses a new one from their clan/tribe (usually sons, but not always).
The dirprûy and great thanes are basically the lieutenants of their prince/king. They are selected by the prince/king with the Âlt Rî's approval.
