Theocracy of Londar
Londor is a young zealous state. Formed after a brave paladin named Londarin. He and a band of paladins stood to protect refugees against a horde of saughin which was hell bent on wiping out these people fleeing from their now overun Island homes. They stood outnumbered but fought bravely and defended the people. The refugees were saved, at the cost of Londarin. His death inspired the refugees and they lifted the body and declared him a Saint and settled on the coast where he passed. Several leading individuals and priests swore to uphold the values he held, and the ideas he held.
The people of Londar are extremely religious and while they follow the Gods and their teachings. Their is a strange sect of worship devoted to Saint Londarin and his companions who have also been slowly made into saints. Churches and temples have icons to one of the twenty saints that fought with Londarin beneath their patron deities symbol. Homesteads often will have a corner of the house devoted to the icon of one of the saints each of which espouse some type of virtue or part of life.
While this has generally made a good intended people there have been times where their religious beliefs make them more uncompromising. In the two hundred or so years of their existence they have experienced two inquisitions to remove undesirable parts of their society. The current High Vicar has been trying to repair the damages left by the previous one for the past ten years of his rule. The wounds left are not easily healed but he has reminded peoples in Londar that Londarin himself protected all peoples that day, and thus no such Inquisition should ever occur again on such poor pretenses that his predecessor put forward. There is evil in the world that dwells, but paranoia and xenophobia is perhaps the greater evil that Londarin did not stand for.
