Deray's political structure most closely resembled a constitutional monarchy. The king nominally had full power, but most powers were delegated to him by the High Assembly, an entity reminiscent of the House of Lords of the British Empire. True, he could revoke these powers at any time, but in reality, of course, it would be difficult to do. In the last few years, since the change of the emperor on the throne of Sandor, Derey has been intensely friends with Hizma.
