Archclericy of Valon
A country which is ruled by the Lunarch and his council. Just trying to stay afloat after the crisis of Faith that has been going on, as the go'ds have not answered back since magic dissappeared.
Structure
Lunarch, controls the kingdom. Deals with extremely important things, decides the Religious Mandate, and decides what the Country Military and Cathars does.
Bishop, one per settlement in the kingdom. Controls the settlement and makes decisions for the Lunarch in relation to the settlement.
Priest, oversee the church and attend to parishioners' needs.
Elder Cathar, judges and military experts and generals. May be called to help the Lunarch decide what to do with the Cathars and the Military.
Cathar, soldiers.
Public Agenda
Currently, it is to stabilize and grow their religion, while becoming a powerhouse to defend from hostiles.
Assets
a few hundred thousand silver, with over half a thousand gold, are in the combined treasuries of the Archlericy. Only one castle, which resides in their capital of Stresa.
History
Founded as the last faithful nation in the world as the onslaught from the Naga continued, they held with surprising force and dignity for as long as they could, even though now they do not get answered and they don't get any magic from the divines.
Demography and Population
Many different races occupy these cities and towns that are spotted across the island this nation is on. While separated by quite a decent bit of land between each other, the population is spread throughout the land with slightly more concentration in the cities.
Territories
They have only just expanded to cover the entire island they occupy, so a few outskirt areas are currently under a territorial rule and will be assimilated.
Military
Cathars and Elder Cathars make up the soldiers, officers, and generals of the military. While there is some variance between each city and their specialty in combat, most of the variance happens with small groups a part of the city rather than the main body of military they have.
Technological Level
While behind the Court of Stars, some technologies here make it so shipping the animals they trade is not quite as stressful due to ship improvements. Has quite a decent navy because of this, but is most likely poorer than the Kingdom of the Sea Lords.
Religion
The biggest religion is the Religion of Valon, as it is their state religion, and it controls everything. While they do not have any forbidden or taboo'd religions, you will be treated differently from everyone else and most likely wont get into a place of power or influence unless you are Valon.
Agriculture & Industry
With a massive plain in the middle of the island, as well as decently sized forests on each end, this nation can support itself and trade a decent bit with wood and farm animals, as well as some horses.
Trade & Transport
Any and all trade is either done in between cities or moved by ship into a harbor. While most of the time these harbors are cities, some are not and some of the trade just makes a stop there before traveling overland to the closest city to the town they got into. Most of the time any trade is for luxury goods or food.
Education
Religion-backed education, but it is state-provided for those who want to become a part of the clergy or government. Any and all other education is not provided and must be taught outside of a school setting. Due to this, only those in power or in the clergy are educated a decent bit.
Infrastructure
While wild, the roads are well-maintained and used quite often. Only the big cities have walls, and most of them are actually leftovers from before magic disappeared as that is when they needed them.

Granted Divine Powers
Before magic disappeared, divine powers of varying ability depending on the length and general experience of the cleric was granted. While mostly in the form of magic spells, some of the granted power came in abilities as well.
Political Influence & Intrigue
As it is the basis of government for this nation, this religion affects it massively. Everything is decided based upon this religion.
