The Felle Veign Theocracy (Fell - Vane)
The Felle Veign Theocracy is a nation with a dark and foreboding atmosphere, where the people are downtrodden and poverty is widespread. The nation is dominated by an all-encompassing theocratic government, known as the Holy See, which rules with an iron fist, enforcing strict laws and regulations upon the populace.
The landscape of the Theocracy is marked by rolling fields of frost and stone, with the icy tundra stretching out as far as the eye can see. Despite the frigid environment, the Holy See has dreams of conquest, both politically and theologically. They seek to expand their influence and convert all to their faith.
The people of the Theocracy are deeply religious, and worship only the Law Bearer, the only god allowed to be worshiped in the nation. Any other form of worship is strictly forbidden, and those who practice other religions are punished severely.
The Holy See is the ultimate authority in the Theocracy, and their rule is absolute. The laws and restrictions are numerous, with harsh punishments for any violation. The people are required to carry licenses and travel permits, with the guards known for their brutality. Magic is viewed as a dangerous and subversive force, and the guards actively seek out magic users to punish them.
In the Felle Veign Theocracy, prejudice towards non-human races is deeply ingrained in the society and its laws. Non-human races, such as elves, halfling, velgares and dragonborn are considered inferior to humans and are often treated as second-class citizens. They are often subjected to discrimination, persecution, and even enslavement.
The Theocracy's government and religious leaders preach the superiority of humans over all other races, claiming that humans were created in the image of The Law Bearer and are therefore the chosen people. This ideology has led to a system of apartheid, with non-humans being forced to live in segregated areas and being barred from many professions and positions of power.
The Felle Veign Theocracy also has a history of waging brutal wars against neighboring nations and races, using their military might and theological zeal to conquer and subjugate those who do not share their beliefs. This has only served to exacerbate the prejudice and hatred towards non-human races within the Theocracy.
Despite the oppressive nature of the government, the people still hold onto hope, and there are whispers of rebellion and resistance. However, these sentiments are dangerous, and those who oppose the Holy See do so at great risk to themselves and their loved ones.
Overall, the Felle Veign Theocracy is a cold and stagnant nation ruled by a government and religious elite that are obsessed with their own power and superiority, at the expense of the rights and freedoms of non-human races.
Religion
The Church of the Law Bearer is the dominant religious institution in the Felle Veign Theocracy, and its teachings shape the culture and laws of the nation. At the heart of the Church's teachings is the worship of the Law Bearer, the sole deity allowed to be worshiped in the Theocracy. The Church is led by the Holy See, who is considered to be the ultimate authority on religious matters within the nation.
The Church has a strict hierarchy of religious officials, with the Holy See at the top, followed by the High Pontiff, who serves as the head of the Church's day-to-day operations. Below the High Pontiff are the Bishops, who are responsible for overseeing religious affairs in their respective regions. The Church also maintains a powerful military force, the Felle Guard, which is tasked with enforcing the nation's laws and protecting the Church's interests.
While the Church officially preaches tolerance and acceptance of all people, regardless of race or background, in practice there is a strong prejudice against non-human races, such as elves, Velgares and Dragonborn. Non-humans are often treated as second-class citizens, with limited rights and opportunities. This prejudice is also reflected in the Church's teachings, which place humans at the center of the universe and emphasize their superiority over other races. This has led to tension and conflict between the Theocracy and neighboring nations with more diverse populations.
