Thaindom of Wesketh

The Thaindom of Wesketh is one of the oldest factions in the realm of Jehvnar. It was for much of its history hidden away, or disconnected from the outside world, leading to only few knowing of its existence. Wesketh is inhabited mainly by hobbits, also known as halflings, and consists of four major settlements: Dolstead, the capital, Firthing, Wealdmere and Hollowtown. The Hobbits speak their own variant of commonspeak, and have never been seen using other languages.

Wesketh has always had a neutral foreign policy, and maintained good relations with every faction in Jehvnar. This has allowed Wesketh to trade freely with all factions, and has generated much wealth for them. Wesketh is divided in 4 ridings, each with their own administrative leaders: the mayors. There are four mayors; The Mayor of Dolstead, the Mayor of Firthing, the mayor of Wealdmere and the Mayor of Hollowtown.

Ontop of that there's the Great Mayor, who serves as the head of most domestic affairs. The Thain is the official leader of Wesketh, although he shares much of his power with the Great Mayor. The Thain is the military and diplomatic leader of Wesketh, and therefore also administrates most external trade. Both the Great Mayor and the Thain are elected at Dolstead Council. The Great Mayor and the Thain then appoints the mayors of the four ridings. Dolstead Council is a meeting held every 14th year. All hobbits are allowed to vote. Discussions there can be about anything that comes to mind, and hobbits tend to find a solution to the present problems there.
