Government of the Duchy of Hardanger

The Duchy of Hardanger is ran by its sole ruler, the Duke of Hardanger, who is the head of State and of the Church. There do exist some feudal lords appointed beneath the duke who rule in his name.
The Duke derives his power from the god, Ignis Synnove. Law and order derive from the Ignis, through Thure, like a light shining through a prism. Incases where an act is committed that is not illegal in writing, the Duke has the ability to charge a person with gross poor judgment, should that action warrant the addition to the existing laws.
