Bastok is led by a politician.
San d'Oria is led by a crusty inbred.
Windurst is led by a prophet who dropped an atomic bomb to save the allied forces in the crystal war.
Go on about your rock digging operation, though.
A False Prophet who can't actually do her supposed futuresight, and had said "bomb" handed to her by someone who probably should have been the actual leader of Windurst.
Whose modern day solution is to give ritual offerings to the Yagudo to appease them, for fear of a fight she no longer believes Windurst has the means to win.
A lame duck theological dictator whose own ministries act against her in the present Windurst mission line.
Some Seer... But hey, if you wanna believe a woman with no real power who's hypocritical in the extreme... that's your prerogative (condemns the use of chemical weapons by Bastok agains the Sahagin in the Elshimo Campaign).
