There really is no government in Xaltoria. People have had a hard time trusting any kind of ruler since Queen Andalonian betrayed them and doomed the land to its now shattered state. Instead, the citizens of Xaltoria now depend upon small local Estates that watch over the commoners and help protect and build the land.
These Estates are run by one Patron or Matron and generally employ a lot of guards that patrol the land and help keep it clear of Rift Spawn and other creatures that would do the citizens harm. The Estates also help to bring trade and new merchandise into their areas by striking deals with the Patrons of other Estates.
