| The ruler of {{this}} held the title of Marquess and traditionally stepped into their role with the popular support of the noble families. They ruled alongside their royal diet which was assembled from local thanes and governors. Marquesses served for life, but could volunteer to resign and nominate their successor. The duty of the Marquess was to manage the city, the military, law and foreign policy of the crown. The responsibility of ruling their subjects, collecting homage and settling local disputes instead fell to the vassal families, who managed the smaller fiefs and thanedoms outside the city walls. | | The ruler of {{this}} held the title of Marquess and traditionally stepped into their role with the unanimous support of the noble families of Winterwend.

| {{this}}ers believed in the value of free thinking, courtly love and feudalism. They preferred to dress in colorful, patterned garments and dresses topped with feathered bonnets and fur caps. Many Winterwenders practiced [[Thrall|slavery]] as a form of penalization for especially egregious crimes or as ransom for prisoners of war. Freedom, it was said, was something to be earned and not something to be given.
