Authority-Under-The-Crown

This is political designation that may only be granted by the King of Tysa .

The person to whom it is granted is given the right to exercise judicial, militaristic, and limited sovereignty over the dominion prescribed to them by Tysa's King .

There are, however, provisions by which this authority is metred. The Thane to whom this authority is granted must uphold the laws of the Kingdom, and maintain steadfast alliance to the Crown. Any abuse of this granted authority is grounds for its immediate revocation, and is considered treason -- a crime punishable by death.

Tysa's Thanes have all been granted Authority-Under-The-Crown.
