Tegin is the position of a chieftain of one of the many tribes of the Uigan people. A singular Tegin, who has one Tenach that serves as his bodyguard, rules each tribe of the Uigan.
The collective Tegins of the tribes are answerable only to the Boyla, ruler of all the Uigan. A Boyla can only come from the ranks of a Tegin able to trace his ancestry back to Ajal Boyla, first ruler of all the Uigan.
