Karalisti

The Karalisti is the newly-formed government of the ice elves. Until recently, the Blazing Tundra was the territory of the Holy Basilea of Arvhulhite. Alfbjorn Andricksson led a rebellion and reformed the old Karalisti, the ice elven kingdom last in power hundreds of years ago.

Organization
The Karalius (or the Karaline, for a female rulers) is the highest ruler in the Karalisti. The local lords are known as Vicegreaves, with some higher lords known as Jarls having existed when necessary.

The Karalius is advised primarily by his spouses, who are known as Karalius-Consorts, whether male or female. Other advisors have been appointed, but typically those close enough to be a trusted advisor are already members of the Karalius's marriage.

Inheritance
It is typical for all children of the Karalius's marriage to be given some form of land inheritance, typically on the frontier, so that the Karalius can trust the information coming from the outskirts. It is common for the oldest son to inherit the position of Karalius, but some daughters have been known to hold the position, being called Karaline. Some oldest sons are known to have been disinherited, either willingly or not. These sons are usually sent on long Crusades, in which they will rule as a vassal over whatever lands they conquer for the Karalisti, but not the throne they were intending to rise to.
