-Internal-Realm Map: [img]http://i1368.photobucket.com/albums/ag161/monkeypantslol/KadianCovenantupclowze_zpsfee27cb1.png[/img]
-Major Cities: Davn, An enormus agricultural city. Very large bastion of troops as well. 
Lusch, The biggest northern city, built on the divide between the strait between the small sea and the ocean itself. Large naval presence
Lorstieum, The southern ocean city. built partially on to a cliff with multiple small castle surrounding it. It is the primary ocean trade hub for the nation and has a large naval presence.
Hjuchia, A city built in a swamp. was originally a camp for the disenfranchised, grew in to a huge sprawl. 
-Major Castles: None that are particularly noteworthy. All castles are somewhat uniform. Built as Star-forts ranging from very sturdy stone to basic forts made of wood and dirt. All contain portions of the nations armies. 
-Buildings of Interest: 
Ansulem;
Reach, A tower stretching high in to the sky, atop is five, ten foot spires that form what looks like a hand, reaching for the heavens, hence the name. Very religious icon.
The Aluse, A large domed structure, akin to a colloseum. It has four tall obelisks, one for each direction. This building serves as the capitol of the nation.
Davn; None that are particularly noteworthy
Lusch: The navy acadamy is located here. It is a mini castle built inside the city itself but sits right on the water line. On the opposite side is another large castle built on the water line. It has a large statue of a king of old.
Lorstieum: 'The docks' is a incredible sight. Long stone docks stretch far in to the ocean and warehouses that are as large as some of the smaller towns in the nation. Castles over look the docks from small hills. Cannons have excellent vantage points over the bay giving the boats and people below a feeling of safety.
Hjuchia: The bazzaar. Along a major road towards the center of the world, sits the bazzaar. It is the beating heart of the city and is along the same scope and scale as 'the docks' of Lorstieum.
-Geographic Features of Interest:
Other than the majority of Kadias coast being cliff side (A very major hinderence for the navy and oceanic trade) and vast areas of thick woodlands, it is a fairly flat and open land.

-Magical Schools and Curriculum: All schools follow a basic curriculum, following the faith. Numerous books that tell people how to live their life.
Magic is pushed hand in hand with the belief system itself. Healing is a very common form of magic and has led to the race being very long lived. Those with strong affinities with magic are pressed hard to learn more and more.

MILITARY
-Total Military Size. 255000, 
City and Castle garrisons make up roughly 50,000 citizen-soldiers.
There are 7 primary armies made up of 28,000 citizen-soldiers of all professions.
The Navy has 9,000 personnel and 90 ships.
-Military Details 
Covenant armed forces are well deciplined and ordered in combat. all soldiers know their place in the ranks and thanks to a very simple and straight forward battle formation and unit types, the army is easy to control. 
There are four primary types of combat unit. All work together in either line or wedge formations. These soldier types are the melee oriented skirmishers which utilize a spear and heavy shield, The Ranger that uses the mighty Scipo rifle, Battle mage 'Priests' that work as officers from the squad level up, and the basic cavalry who ride a deer/horse hybrid called a Dygol.
The lowest military formation detatchment consists of 17 soldiers. 9 spearmen, 7 rangers and the priest.

The tower shield of the nation is made of polished lumber with an iron lining. It is very light weight due to not having to be as thick due to the curved shape.[/hider]

The standard ranged weapon that has near completely replaced the bow and crossbow in the nation. It can fire metal ball or grapeshot if one wanted but the perferred projectile is a long stake. It can pierce plate armor at decent range and isn't effected by wind as much as a bow would be. This stake is however, heavier than a ball round so the range isn't quite as great.

[hider=Navy]
The navy uses a smaller number of warships due to most naval personel being pressed in to the army amidst the rise of the darkness. The ships remaining though are strong manueverable gunships that are operated by the best trained soldiers the nation has to offer.

The priests use many types of weapons but the most prominant weapon is their faith. All are avid magic users with access to the majority of the Justinian offensive capabilities. They all wear cosmetic wings on their armor. Also attached to this armor via a chain, is a prayer book.

HEROIC DRAMATIS PERSONAE

[hider=Lord Arterus]
[img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQV13VGp37xEQWH-Yqc-sdWZX-umPDu-Jps0qkjNlkyleRf5R4BYA[/img]
Dison Arterus is the most decorated military commander in the nation. He is in command of the 7th army which happens to be Hadrians favorite. He is a gruff man with little patience for fools. He has no real care for politics as he would tell you, "I have the privalge of looking my enemy in the eye."[/hider]
[hider=Ginny]
[img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRiTU2axWSeNjcJ8SqqoiIk6xy2mTMJZw-Lk3Hp5amE6_r645wA[/img]
Ginny is a Dark elf who advanced in the ranks of the military so fast that Hadrian himself noticed her . She is perhaps one of the most devout non human alive in the nation and through that she became one of Hadrians favorite agents. Where she goes, heads turn and when she leaves, widows mourn. She is a gifted marksman and handy with a sword at that. She favors light leather armor and her custom blessed long bow and short scimitar in combat. 
She has a special decree that allows her to go where ever and use what ever she needs to get a mission done.[/hider]
[hider=Cyrus Verrideus]
[img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT0BMhhkqwrb7oKxMXv0aXcLB6mxClcKSCZlLamdGvo_wWf8QI-[/img]
Cyrus is the leader of the Knight order. He is in the same catagory as Ginny, a special agent of the throne with special authority. He is an expert rider and favors the scipo when riding and the special bastard sword 'Unas' as his melee choice. the Unas sword is said to have been used by an ancient priest in dark times during the initial rise of Justinianism. He wears special ornate armor that many say is indestructable as it had been blessed many times by many holy men who all believe it was already a divine artifact. The armor, strong as it may be, does not have Cyrus convinced entirely as he would say, "No one has gotten a lucky blow in yet".[/hider]
[Hider=Alma Kassidus]
[img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oWpq4lYw49Y/T9G48w0njNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/CKLLSGYwfsE/s1600/eso+bosmer+female.png[/img]
Alma is the daughter of a human father and elven mother. She was given up at a very early age and adopted by a similar family of nobles. As Alma got older, she joined the church and began her training to be a missionary. Her faith and afinity with magic had caught the eye of Hadrian himself who seemedto favor her in certain religious endeavours. She is currently set to marry the high elf Azakir Jakim whom she met as her time as a missionary.[/hider]

CULTURAL
-History
Basic outline, as told in early history classes of most schools,
Long ago, this nation was a vast empire, stretching in all directions. A powerful navy patrolled the oceans and large armies gaurded the borders. The state religion was sky worshipping. Each star was a god or hero and all people reflected their actions accordingly.

As the nation continued to spread, people began to adopt other religions and a number of powerstruggles within the then capitol of artriarch that eventually led to a civil war. This war lasted over fifty years before fatigue set in. A young king of the time decided to settle this ordeal by splitting the empire in half in an attempt to end the wars. This peace did't last long before the eastern empire collapsed under its own weight. People began rioting and the capitol of artriarch was burned to the ground. Eventually when the dust settled, a new conflict began, religion. 

Justinianism originated from south of the western empire and spread quickly through the south. The sky worshippers fought hard but there was no stopping this new way of life. Soldiers defected by the thousands and after a few short wars, the sky worshippers had either left the nation or converted entirely. Peace set in and the modern day borders were set. This was nearly seven hundred years ago. Faith is strong and influence is far and wide.
