Nation name = The Bishopric State Flag/sigil = (Image to come) Ruler's Name = Grand Bishop Suheyl Raydir. He is a shrewd, conniving man who does not understand the concept of mercy. His miraculous vision came to him in his late teens, when he dreamed of a bright light in humanoid shape standing before a bowing crowd. He became an candidate for Grand Bishop in his early twenties, and ascended that year by assassinating all those more qualified than he. He believes that the most important thing for a Strandistant is strength, and assembled an army of fanatics to conquer and raid territories belonging to those of the other faiths. He repurposed a grand castle for his capital church. Territory = The large island right under the central continent, which Suheyl has renamed the Body of God Capital & Major Settlements = Church of the Head: The capital of the Bishopric State, formerly Castle Ilkate Church of the Arm: A large city built on a range of hills with a church atop the largest one. It also houses the Holy Army Church of the Foot: A seaport nearest to the mainland with a church on the beach. It also houses the Holy Navy. Population = 1200000 Religion = Strandistant History = Before Suheyl, the Strandistant Order had no lands to speak of. Certainly, they had a few churches courtesy of faithful kings, but this was the first time that the Church had any real land to govern. Before the church invasion, the large island belonged to the Kingdom of Muragenn, an Abandonitte kingdom. With the church invasion, the royal family was butchered, with each piece sent to a different Abandonitte nation as a warning. Once established, Bishop Raydir called a holy war on the Usurprians. Cultural traits = The Bishopric State under Suheyl has become something of a military nation. Men, once reaching adulthood, are required by law to serve in the military for a minimum of two years. They also have a responsibility to follow the Grand Bishop's word and to teach their faith to their children and those they've captured. Such things as consummation before marriage are strictly forbidden, but torture is acceptable for members of the other faiths. In most aspects, the culture is somewhat reflective of Suuban ways. Military = Most of the Holy Army consists of young men conscripted upon adulthood. Officers are required to be part of the clergy or be well versed in theology. The military also imitates the Suuban Empire's, with a heavy emphasis on phalanxing and heavy cavalry. Ranged combat and artillery are almost nonexistent. Characters = To be decided. How's this for a Character sheet?
