The Tellewengyr government is a Highly centralized Feudal Monarchy with an established Hierarchy. Instead of a clergy, Tellewen has a party of individuals that form a council. They are known as the Agnoma.
At the pinnacle of the government is King Abaddon I 'ŵýn Pwýshym' himself, a tyrant whose rule is absolute. Abaddon I 'ŵýn Pwýshym' is known for his cruelty and ruthlessness, maintaining his grip on power through fear and intimidation. His word is law, and his decrees are enforced without question. The king's authority extends over all aspects of life in Tellewen, from military matters to economic policies.
Beneath (but arguably above) the king is the Agnoma, composed of his most loyal and trusted advisors and druids and Gealirian (Atheldrú) worshipers. This party includes high-ranking officials, generals, and nobles who have pledged their allegiance to Abaddon I 'ŵýn Pwýshym' and Gealirian (Atheldrú). They help administer the various regions of the empire and execute the king’s orders. The council members are often rewarded with power and wealth, ensuring their loyalty to the crown. Their leader is Giffescornú, Abaddon I 'ŵýn Pwýshym''s closest adviser. They are elected by the Agnoman Council which consists of man priests and Bishops.
Tellewen has 4 main Duchies or Principalities, ruled by Dukes descended from historical royalty or family members of the Tellewengyr Royal family. They could rule their own states with independence as long as they respected the king's laws and his utmost authority. These were descendant of the original kingdoms invaded when Tellewen invaded most of south Aneresy.
Tellewen is divided into many provinces, each governed by provincial counts or barons appointed by King Abaddon I 'ŵýn Pwýshym'. These counts and barons are responsible for maintaining order, collecting taxes, and enforcing the king’s laws within their territories. They wield significant power locally and report directly to the Royal Council. Counts and barons often employ a network of local officials and enforcers to manage their provinces.
The military is a cornerstone of Tellyry culture. Feudal lords are given land in exchange for the military service of their own levies. Tellewen is also unique in its use of retinues. They supply 1,500 soldiers chosen from the best found across the kingdom during times of trouble, and are trained as professional soldiers. Although they are paid and fed by the monarchy, they have to supply their own equipment on their own terms. Because of this, most Tellewengyr retinues are wealthier individuals, and (very often) related to nobility.
