Commander

A commander (High Secote: gospodĭ, 'lord') is a holder of a title widespread across Secote and Secote-influenced societies' political structures. It may refer to:

• In the original Secote societies of Inner Joriscia, a leader of an individual Secote tribe, usually inferior to a vladyka or polcovode who leads a soyuz or 'confederacy'.
  • Sometimes leader of a larger polity marked by leadership by that tribe, such as the Suliradovid Commandery.
• Under the Secote Empire, a leader endowed with any kunentsydom as the administrative division of that empire, such as the Commandery of the Southern Marches.
  • Various Post-Secote polities whose leaders originally held offices appointed by the Secote Emperor: the Commandery of Tormetia and Commandery of Axiov.
• In the Tirfatsevid Empire and early Great Neritsia, a member of the military hierarchy known as the Commandery.
• In Agamar, a class of Secote-descent aristocrats.
• In the Lutoborsk, a type of provincial governor or lord usually rendered as hospodar. In their current form they lead a number of units located in Kadalkhia.
  • Also individual tribal leaders among the Joghunmal as recognised by the Lutoborian government, overlapping with Secote usage in this case.
