The Culture of Astrum

The Beginning

Astrum is one of the newest realms on Dwilight, formed by nobles from the theocracy of Morek.

The realm was founded on the trade island of Libidizedd.

Astrum was created to spread the word of the Bloodstars across the land, the expedition party was sent from Morek with honour and cheer.

Government

The government of Astrum is a simple Theocracy, the ruler or Vasila as the locals call the noble who runs the realm heads the council, but relies heavily on the information supplied to them from the people placed as Strategos, Haruspex Maximus and Fiduciary.

The position of Strategos and Fiduciary are voted for every three months to ensure a suitable amount of time and competition for each noble currently in the roles. Only the Haruspex Maximus and Vasila are permenantly in position as they should hold the strongest religious beliefs and it is their mission to expand the belief of the Bloodstars.

History

Astrum was formed under the three Bloodstars, Maddening being the most potent and powerful lends its power to the capital city of Libidizedd, which Auspicious and Austere lend theirs to Mimer and Eidulb respectfully.

Religion

The official Religion of Astrum is Sanguis Astroism. (The worship of the Bloodstars.) The Bloodstars are three red stars: the Maddening Star, the Auspicious Star and the Austere Star, that only appear a few times a year for a week or more. The constellation curiously hangs permanently over west Dwilight. Check the current phases of the Bloodstars here.

It is believed that the constellation causes madness among the natives of Dwilight and is a good omen to those of the eastern continents. It was the rise of Sanguis Astroism that led to Morek's rise over the natives.

Military

The military structure of Astrum had for a long time consisted of only one army: The Order of Astrum. Sponsored by Astrum's first Strategos Justin Greystone, the army represented a milestone in the military affairs and expansion of the realm, but due to very bad sponsoring system, it is now departed. The Order will always be remembered with joy, especially among the older nobles of Astrum.

Nowadays, the military organization of Astrum is based on Ducal Armies and area coverages. All Ducal Armies are led by their Marshals and at the disposal of the Strategos of Astrum. Due to a favorable and unique geographic position of Astrum, each army is assigned to guard a certain choke point. This system of defense was organized by the second and longest serving Strategos of Astrum, Sir Boreal Arakiss. The system adds to the flexibility of all armies as they encircle the choke points if needed.

Military structure (chronologically):

I. The Austere Order
II. Defenders of the Blood Stars
