	===Sithire===		===Sithire===
	Similar to a governor, sithires oversee the province as a whole and is considered the head of state, and is a non-hereditary administrative title of nobility. Sithires traditionally are elected by the nobility from among their ranks, known as the Council of Nobles, and there is no formal term limit for a sithire’s office. However, if there is a common consensus and the sithire refuses to step down, a “false election” can occur where the winner ousts the sitting sithire. Though technically this is considered a coup, it has never led to violence between parties or citizens. The sithire is responsible for several large-scale decisions and operations, such as making the call to raise levies, taxes, or province-wide trade agreements. Foreign policy is also commonly ratified at the level of the sithire, though such policies are extremely rare even in peace-time. The sithire has the executive order in most decisions, meaning they can easily override others, but abuse of this power can often lead to a swift end of term.

	Though advisors do not hold any true decision-making power, they’re key to making sure that the sithire is making conscious decisions that are supported by the citizenry. Advisors are appointed and released on the sithire’s command alone, which has led to more than a few scandals. These advisors collectively are on the privy council, which is a forum from which they can voice confidential advice or concerns away from the public eye.

The City Council is typically composed of guild masters, merchants, aldermen and other citizens of good standing in various fields, with vested interests in the city's growth and management, which oversee the management and distribution of city tax funds for reinvesting in civil and architectural projects that improve the equity and enrichment of the city and its denizens. They are also responsible for holding hearings from third parties concerning petitions of investment in various projects, as well as passing minor ordinances in the city aimed to improve the equity and enrichment of the city and its denizens.

			===Counts===
			Counts, known as "arangire" in Arangothek, are the least numerous and highest peerage formally recognized as nobility in Transdariania. Counts have multiple baronies under them, and thus by proxy they accumulate more power and influence than barons. For all intents and purposes their function is the same as barons, however, just on a larger scale, and answer the call of the sithire in the same manner that scales up appropriately with consideration of their higher standing.
			===Margraves===
			Margraves, known as "thron ul-bain" in Arangothek, are non-hereditary military titles of which only four exist in Transdariania, one for each cardinal direction. Due to the [[Army of Arangoth#Bannerman System\|Bannerman System]] in place, Transdariania has no standing peacetime army. The Margraves essentially serve as semi-autonomous private militaries (and navies) charged with the protection of the duchy from foreign and domestic threats to the land. As such, they are given far more leeway where military organization and logistics are concerned in comparison to the Barons and Counts. They answer directly to the Sithire in times of peace, and fall under the purview of the Lord Protector during times of war, gathering and organizing lesser nobles from their cardinal territories under them. Rather than a single centralized military force, the Margraves serve as a system of checks and balances to ensure no single noble accumulates too much military might.
