The title of Bortoh /'bɑrtə/ normally refers to the head of the local militia, however in the context of the head of state, Bortoh would be someone assuming the role of Mordoh on a temporary basis. This happens in cases when Mordoh is away from the city or incapacitated and when there is a military threat or emergency. If there is no threat or emergency, then the powers of Murdoh are collectively assumed by his regents, Davee-Murdon.
Davee-Murdoh is a governor of a neighborhood and regent to Murdoh. Davee-Murdon would normally be assuming the authority of a Murdoh on their local level, in other words, temporarily rule without oversight. A Davee-Murdoh is a lifelong position and signing up for it precludes one from ever assuming the role of Murdoh, a measure taken to prevent Davee-Murdon to undermine Murdoh's power.
Commander of the royal guard would report directly to Murdoh and be completely independent from Bortoh. In case Bortoh assumes power, Commander of the Royal Guard would instead report to one of the Davee-Murdohs, a decision that is usually made in advance and in secret between the Murdoh and his regent.
