},
"religion": "skaldhyrric_faith"
} |
|
To train Skalds is a difficult task, involving both the memorization of countless tales and coupling these tales with divine power. Our state has a great responsibility to ensure that all of Gerudia can have access to our high quality Skalds, for we are the only ones who can create more than storytellers. Being the foremost educator of Skalds also has the benefit of allowing us to gather favors that may otherwise be impossible. |

},
"NOT": {
"has_country_flag": "magic_artificery_artificery_only"

"has_country_flag": "aelnar_dahvar_government",

"has_reform": "mithradhum_ancestor_venerator_reform",
"have_had_reform": "mithradhum_ancestor_venerator_reform"
}
} |
|
Aul-Dwarov fell, first and foremost, because of moral and spiritual rot. They failed to venerate the ancestors, venerating their own greed and avarice instead. By birthright and by connection to holy Amldihr, our government is the rightful inheritor of the ancient empire of the dwarves. |

Arakepruni Magocracy | {
"OR": {
"has_reform": "arakeprun_magocracy",

},
"has_reform": "black_demesne_reform",
"NOT": {
"has_country_flag": "magic_artificery_artificery_only"
}
} |
|
When the Ascendant Dragon rose to the Skull Throne, order was forged from the fundamental chaos of the Prime Discordance -- a plan to change the world. In the Demesne, it is magical ability and mystic intuition that mark a person's worth, not their bloodline. Magic users are full citizens of a harsh but mostly fair state. On the other hand, non-magicians live a life of total legal subjugation and suppression, though some manage to accrue considerable influence nonetheless. |
|
Black Acolyte | {
"is_subject_of_type": "acolyte_dominion",
"has_reform": "black_acolyte_reform",
"OR": {
"has_country_flag": [
"magic_artificery_mage_only",
"magic_artificery_mixed"
]
}
} |
|
Excessive centralization creates vulnerabilities, and is unbecoming of a nation built on the chaotic flow of the Prime Discordance. As such, powerful mages known as Acolytes are selected to work closely with the central government. The subsequent competition for favor breeds powerful, devious mages who can carry on the work of building a new world from the ruins of the old. |
 |
Elikhander Hierocracy | {
"OR": {
"has_reform": "elikhander_theocracy_reform",
"have_had_reform": [

]
}
} |
|
Anybody who is anybody in Elikhand can trace their lineage to Kheterata, and their faith towards the Khets. With this shared identity there is little competition between the elites of this nation, for we are one people united by blood and faith. Together we build this nation towards glory and reverence. |

"tag": "Z82",
"is_playing_custom_nation": true
}
} |
|
The Kar-Ankash Council is a theocratic council of Black Orc shamans in Hul-Jorkad bent on defending and spreading the teachings of Dookan in their oldest form.

"has_reform": "balrijin_sage_council_reform"

} |
|
The Sage Council is the theocratic council of Balrijin, consisting of the sages of the most powerful or affluent clans, factions, and guilds in the realm.

The Golden Sage is to interpret the teachings of Balris and apply them as closely as possible. If they become unable to fulfill their duties, their Protégé, who is picked from among the current sages, will take their place. |
|
Council of the Mage-Shamans | {
"OR": {

Kalemba | {
"has_reform": "pelimkana_kalemba_reform",
"religion": "mystic_accord",
"culture_group": "yanglam"
} |
|
Pelimkana has long been under the control of the Order of Pelimkana, and has rejected the Tengalam system of monarchy of the Yanglam. The resulting state is exceedingly isolatinst and particularly zealous, even disallowing logging in the Lupulan. The blessings of the spirits have made their lands exceedingly productive as a result, though this comes at the cost of foreign trade. |

}
} |
|
The state has been entirely supplanted by Liho's Maidens, who now exercise absolute control over this country and its domains. Leadership consists exclusively of the most magically gifted - and politically connected - shrine maidens in the order. |
|
Huszien's Council | {
"has_reform": "husziens_council",
"NOT": {
"has_country_flag": "magic_artificery_artificery_only"
}
} |
|
The Huli-Jing and the Gumiho have assembled into two large factions, vying with one another for influence over Huszien's decisions. As either side gains power, the organs of state of which they are patrons grow in power, but lose much of their effectiveness from inefficiency. |
 |
Bulwari Temple | {
"NOT": [
{
"tag": "H66"
},
{
"tag": "H67"
}
],
"OR": {
"religion_group": "bulwari",
"has_country_flag": "updating_isolationism_window"
}
} |
|
Bulwari temples are the house of Surael, a place of worship, but they are also massive complexes with schools, workshops, storehouses and libraries.

} |
|
The city of Lelanàn is ruled by priestesses dedicated to worship of the goddess Lel, leader of the halfling pantheon. After the Kolo’s temple on the mainland Sarhal was lost to human migration, the Lel’s temple of Lelanàn assumed the leading position among the shrines and thus became the most important place of Nakavy Avo faith. |
 |
Haraagtsedi League | {
"tag": "F72",
"NOT": {
"is_tribal": true
}
} |
|
Haraagtseda is a collection of packs no longer, we are a true nation! Our Mazla Haraag will be decided by a test of skill open to all of the holy men and women of our realm.

Our allegiance will be to the Sorrow, to Aakhet! |

 |
Shadow Horde | {
"has_reform": "shadow_horde"
} |
|
While the trolls of Yezel Mora are ostensibly under the control of the three Shadow Hags, in reality they tend to leave the running of the horde to the trolls themselves. The hag's main involvement is to choose a new Nail King when the previous one dies. Otherwise they trust the king to rally support, train the military, collect taxes, and keep order. Should the Nail King fail in these tasks however, the hags will deliver swift and cruel punishment, before convening to choose a new ruler. |
 |
Bronze Stratocracy | {
"has_reform": "bronze_stratocracy_reform"
} |
|
Devised by Aakhet himself as a way to keep order in Aramoole and ensure his will is done. A new ruler is selected from amongst the top generals in the country when the previous one either passes away or is considered incapable of fulfilling the role anymore. Most top generals are battlemages who, while far below the level of the most powerful mages, are extremely skilled at weilding their limited magical prowess in battle. |

}
} |
|
The Raj is malleable, and it is the duty of the Mahyaraja to unwind its innards, boil out its pus, grind down its bones, and form it anew amidst the dissent and anguish of the oppressed. In the end, the upper castes may protest, but we shall be the liberators of the lowly. After all, suffering is temporary, but the Raj shall be eternal. |

"culture": "eagle_command",
"religion": "eagle_worship"
} |
|
To rule is to bring Order to the world, and repel the Chaos that was unleashed. To achieve such a feat is a difficult task, and only our strongest soldier of Order should lead us. As such, any would be ruler must prove their strength above all others in a trial of combat, for if one cannot best their fellow mages, how can they possibly stand against Chaos? |
