Sentinel (Legend of Nirn)

Sentinel is a kingdom of as well as the capital of Hammerfell.

Background
Originally ruled by the Lhotuns, once the most powerful family in Hammerfell, the al Mutairi dynasty later seized control.

In the early Fifth Era, during the Darkest Night and the Daedra Wars, High King Tasaio al Mutairi ruled Sentinel.

It is the largest city and kingdom in Hammerfell.

Politics and Government
Sentinel is a complete autocracy, with the king holding absolute power within the kingdom, and succession of the monarch descending through the primary male line. Politics occur among the different Crown houses that make up Sentinel's aristocratic system, each competing for the king's favor. Sentinel's nobility descend directly from the ruling class who lived in the city of Totambu, which was the capital of ancient Yokuda.
