The Duchy of the Guttuli is a constituent territory of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, located at the mouth of the River Elwynn, following the Kalirion Fracture. The name Guttuli comes from the ancient Gates of the Guttuli at the mouth of the Red Elwynn.
Until 1687 AN, the territory had been governed by a criminal state that called itself the Guttuli Protectorate.
Governance
Initially, the Duchy of the Guttuli was governed directed through the two Lieutenancies that were established in its territory, that of Far Guttuli (Guttulinese territory east of the River Elwynn as well as islands located therein) and that of Near Guttuli (Guttulinese territory west of the River Elwynn). By V.1687 AN, the two Lieutenancies independently chose to appoint a Coordinating Committee, consisting of a mixture of Imperial courtiers, senior Laqi officers, and the few anti-Protectorate locals with some measure of means. The Coordinating Committee for the Guttuli would issue directives and coordinate resource allocations across the duchy as necessary to rebuild the economy, stabilize the ongoing humanitarian crisis, and construct a new political structure after the previous one had been wiped clean.
