Chiefdoms of Keltoia (Vae victis!)

The Chiefdoms and Chieftains of Keltoia (Known natively as the Walosalvdems and the Walosalvs, respectively) were powerful agents and a vital part of the government of Keltoia. Created during the phenomenon of Ambactoismos, these semi independent states and their leaders would define the history of Keltoia. These leaders were generally be similar the the Emperor, but on a smaller scale. For example, they had a substantial amount of economic control over their Chiefdoms, and have a fair amount of say over the army. However, like the Emperor's position, they would often have to fight for their sovereignty and their powers, at least politically. In fact, their constant jockeying for power would often be detrimental to the Empire's stability.
