Well hello, another question...
Having seen the few bits we know about the political structures of every faction in the lore, I wondered how much we knew of that exactly? I have to admit that I come from another game (eve online) where the lore can be immensely deep and detailed especially on such matters, and it usually interests me a lot.Â
I mean, I know that Ulda is a Sultanate, and that the Sultanate has to deal with the Syndicate and powerful merchant interests that have a seat to the table, but what exactly encompass the ruler power? What are its limits (they seem very numerous)? Is that only executive, legislative? Is the Sultanate just a first among peers (the merchants and syndicates)?Â
Likewise, on Limsa, I can expect a rather direct line of command like a on ship for the Admiral, and the people below, but what do we know more about it exactly? How do they represent every (ex) pirate, merchant interest? How are they represented? How do they voice their concerns? How is the thalassocracy organized?
On Gridania as well, we have seedseers (all of them padjals?), but how exactly do they rule? Is it like a druidic council of sages? How are the people represented here? How do they voice their interests? How do elemental rule and law translates through the power in place? We are portrayed listeners that are the ultimate and almighty voice of the elementals on spiritual matters on who can stay and who cannot, but what else?
If we have similar info on other powers like Ala-migho, or even the Empire and Ishgard that seem more fleshed out, i'll take them too, of course..
