Kourian Dominion (Coo-ree-ahn)

Archstroansian Adoel: "A thousand years and what do we have to show for it? A war from two over-whiny parties, a zealous religious cult wanting magick banned, and a dying land. We have to act now or we lose everything."

Built upon the backbone of a crumbling society, the Kourian Dominion aims to rebuild society and heal the wounded land of Leigrebath. However, to do that, the Kourian Dominion needs a functioning government system, one built by the four Archstroansians. Each Archstroansian was sent to a plotted part of Leigrebath to rebuild - the north, south, west, and east.
To the Kourians, the country resembles a home with leaders who see the best for everyone. The people never question the stroansians or the Archstroansians, always doing as they're told and working tirelessly to get things done.

Origins

Back in 5790 NE, the Archstroansians began construction of the Kourian Dominion with the help of every stroansians and human they could gather. The Archstroansians saw how decrepite the land was, realizing the people would not survive much longer without intervention. The Archstroansians also concluded that gaining the trust of the people before the grosants could corrupt the land.

Archstroansians

Adoel

Species: Stroansian
Pronouns: He/Him
Mana: Natura
Adoel is the head of the stroansians and rules the north. His leadership is never questioned, while every decision he makes is for the people, or so the government says. Adoel's word is law, and the people trust his ideology.

Malik

Species: Stroansian
Pronouns: He/Him
Mana: Flame
Malik is stubborn toward everyone he speaks too. He rules the south, where most of the war takes place. He doesn't give a crap about what happens as long s the grosants are stopped, and the Kourian Dominion is seen as heroes.

Hayliel

Species: Stroansian
Pronouns: She/Her
Mana: Venta
Hayliel doesn't associate with the citizens of her corner, the east, of Leigrebath. Instead, she focuses on the luxuries of life and how little she worries about the war. With her ideology, Hayliel is the least popular and powerful of the siblings.

Jackal

Species: Stroansian
Pronouns: He/Him
Mana: Lux
Once a powerful right-hand to Adoel, Jackal sought love and decided to "breed" with a mortal until Adoel banished him. Jackal ruled the western portion of the Kourian Dominion until he took residency with the Zalgi Empire.

Politics & Practices

The Kourian Dominion tries to protect the land by not soiling the bloodlines of humanity. While humans are permitted to breed with stroansians, they are forbidden to have any sort of relations with an elf, grosant, gnome, or goblin. Impurities are seen as a weakness to the stroansians, and weedling them out would further expand their nation.
If a human as procreated with one that is forbidden, those children tend to grow up in poverty and have zero legal rights to join the Kourian Military. Even humans, and those of the LGBTQIA+ cannot join the military due to their fraile bodies and being unable to conduct magick. People who are smart enough and willing to do so, can hide their true orientation or identity until they have served their country.
