Governor of Dagmit

The Governor of Dagmit, currently Verid Drannor (born 308 RE), is the administrative head of the Dagmit Administrative Authority and the representative of the province in the Namorian Republic. The office of the Governor  is appointed by the Committee of the Provinces, with oversight from the Octarchy.
Verid Drannor, a native of Dagmit, assumed office in 340 RE. His appointment marks a significant departure from previous selections, as Drannor was born and raised in the region, thereby intimately understanding the complexities of life in the province. Before his appointment, Drannor was a high-ranking officer in the Namorian Navy and served at the Naval Base Maris-Nautilus, bringing invaluable experience to his governance. Known for his commitment to public service, his leadership is marked by attempts to bridge the gap between the Dagmit and the rest of the Namorian Republic.
Under Drannor's administration, there has been a concerted effort to improve the infrastructural development in the region, and he has been pivotal in the initiation of projects focused on the preservation and sustainable use of the region's natural resources. Drannor has also been influential in expanding citizenship opportunities through military service and other public participation.
Before the establishment of the Dagmit Administrative Authority, the region was governed by a loose assembly of local chieftains, referred to collectively as the Dagmit Council. The Council was comprised of leaders from the major settlements throughout the province. The highest authority in this council was the First Chieftain, a title that rotated among the council members.
The last First Chieftain before the establishment of the Dagmit Administrative Authority was Yolanthe Marshwalker. Marshwalker was known for her staunch resistance to central rule from Namor and advocated for the autonomy of Dagmit. Despite her opposition, the annexation of Dagmit as a full province in 202 RE marked the end of the Dagmit Council's power. Marshwalker's legacy, however, lives on in the province's enduring spirit of independence and self-reliance.
