Ptivamanaktem Alliance
Ptampic: Ptivamanaktemátá /phthɪːvamanaːxtɛmauːthauː/
Fúmic: Divamanahemrá /tɪːvamanahɛːmrau/
The Ptivamanaktem Alliance is a confederation of seven tribes of Tederans in the central Karatvánamb Forest of southeastern Túlmikkía, and is a major power in the region.
It's capital is Hatvál, located at the center of the territory.
The chiefs' power is limited, however, as each tribe also has a council of matriarchs from prominent families who serve as advisors, administrators and -more importantly- have the power to strip the chief of his rank if he proves to be an poor ruler, and choose another one instead. Because of this, these councils are known as guardians of the throne; tederan thrones, carved from a block of wood and adorned with gold and shell-beads, are regarded as sacred objects and must be placed in small shrines at night and interregnums, lest the entire tribe may perish.
