Liberty under the Law!
Defend the Constitution!

Astrum is the oldest living realm in Dwilight and is the first Democracy to flourish in these lands. Founded as a Theocracy of Sanguis Astroism, Astrum served for long ages as the main defender of the church and was in fact the last Theocracy standing. Eventually however the era of Theocracies ended, Astrum and the Church drifted apart, and in early 2022 Astrum severed legal ties with the Church and became a Democracy.

Astrum seeks to create itself anew. From our storied histories we draw inspiration, but it is the future which we most proudly seek to claim. The Democracy of Astrum will shine as a beacon of Liberty upon Dwilight!

On 2023-01-28 Astrum renamed itself to Wicrose.

The Democracy of Astrum

Constitution

On 29/06/2022 the Constitution of Astrum was ratified by a free referendum of all the nobles. Thereafter Astrum became a Constitutional Democracy. From that time on the Constitution became the supreme legal document in Astrum. No Law or Government changes may be enacted which are in discordance with its provisions.

The text of the Constitution can be accessed and maintained here: The Constitution of Astrum.

Government

Astrum is a Constitutional Democracy. All government titles and provisions are documented in the Constitution.

Religion

There is no state religion, although the majority do worship Sanguis Astroism.

History

The vast and rich history of Astrum is difficult to behold, yet the effort to record it in a single volume has been undertaken by various chroniclers and scribes of Astrum. The tome named Chronica Astrorum attempts to compile this history to ensure that this rich legacy lives on.

The tome owes inspiration to the efforts of a modest knight of Astrum, Munsel Keen, who has long perished but left a lasting inspiration for scholarly pursuit.

-===Based on the true events held at the battle of ‘Till the last man!’===
-Moisture could be seen from each breath on this cold morning just before the sunrise. Alexandria looked out the from the battered and poorly maintained palisade of Libidizedd, the first and only region claimed for the new colony of Astrum. The unrelenting blood thirsty creatures gave them no quarter as the onslaught continued. Starvation had already claimed the lives of many soldiers, commoners and minor nobility. Those who managed to find food must fight for their lives and those that are successful are exhausted and mentally broken. The Vasila and the very few nobles that followed her were not free from these perils.
+Astrum is the oldest living realm in [[Dwilight]] and is the first Democracy to flourish in these lands. Founded as a Theocracy of [[Sanguis Astroism]], Astrum served for long ages as the main defender of the church and was in fact the last Theocracy standing. Eventually however the era of Theocracies ended, Astrum and the Church drifted apart, and in early 2022 Astrum severed legal ties with the Church and became a Democracy.

-She heard Strategos Justin Greystone croak the orders. After 3 sleepless days of defending the city, his voice was now unable to speak any more than a whisper even if he wanted to. The last of his 7 spearmen took position in front of everyone knowing full well that their time of sacrifice has come. Extreme loyalty and the threat of homelessness is what kept them from fleeing.
+On 2023-01-28 Astrum renamed itself to [[Wicrose]].
-Duke Brance Indirk and his one swordsman stood next to the Strategos, ready to fight at his side.
-“I just wanted to say, it’s been an honor.” Duke Brance spoke, not speaking to anyone specific but with all the hardships they all endured together, it was implied he spoke to everyone.
+== The Democracy of Astrum ==
-Tired and hungry, the Vasila gripped the hilt of her sword with what little energy remained. Her personal guard already claimed by death, she relied so much on the few nobles also without any soldiers to command for her own protection. To her left was Haruspex Maximus Aram Stien and Fiduciary Marrick Montrez. To her right was Sergio Mozzoni, faithful to both Astrum and the Bloodstars.

-“The star of the Maddening looks bright even so close to sunrise.” Aram pointed to the sky. Anyone who cared to look could plainly see it while all other stars had already disappeared.

-Marrick gave a deep sigh of disappointment. He wouldn’t believe anyone if they said this was only the beginning.
-Just as they were about to be overrun, Sergio redirected his gaze from the sky to the beasts charging through the frail ramparts. He spoke the few words that gave everyone the will to fight one last time.
-“The star of the Maddening lends us strength. It’s our duty to prevail. We hold till the last man!”
-And with that, the bloody and deadly battle commenced. Brance was immediately struck down by a beast just as the sunlight burst above the horizon revealing the reinforcements so desperately needed. It was Boreal Arakiss, sword drawn high above his head and cape billowing in the wind, leading the Shadowbane Arrows from the docks in the city. He returned from his long voyage not a moment too soon. The couple volleys of skillfully shot arrows allowed the Vasila and her band of broken but not defeated nobles to retreat safely behind the archers. The Shadowbane Archers continued the fight in close quarters combat and sustained heavy casualties only to emerge victorious so that Astrum could live another day.

+== History ==
-Astrum was formed under the three Bloodstars, Maddening being the most potent and powerful lends its power to the city of [[Libidizedd]], while the Auspicious and Austere stars lend theirs to Mimer and Eidulb respectfully. Astrum eventually expanded to encompass the city of Chrysantalys. Soon after that, the city of Mimer was seceded by Duke Mathurin Hossenfeffer, Prophet of [[Sanguis Astroism]], to form the realm of [[Corsanctum]].
+The vast and rich history of Astrum is difficult to behold, yet the effort to record it in a single volume has been undertaken by various chroniclers and scribes of Astrum. The tome named [[Astrum/Chronica Astrorum|Chronica Astrorum]] attempts to compile this history to ensure that this rich legacy lives on.
-After the great monster invasion, Astrum absolved Corsanctum back to survive. After years of struggle, Astrum managed to reaffirm themselves as one of Dwilight's most influential realms.
+The tome owes inspiration to the [[Chronica Astrorum|efforts]] of a modest knight of Astrum, [[Keen Family/Munsel|Munsel Keen]], who has long perished but left a lasting inspiration for scholarly pursuit.

+== Culture ==
+Although Astrum is no longer a Theocracy, much of it's culture and heritage is based on its long history of association with Sanguis Astroism.
-=== 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 western Dwilight. Check the current phases of the Bloodstars [http://www.greylight.org/cgi/bloodstar 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.
-The Guardians of the Temple were established in Astrum between autumn and winter of the Year 5. The Guardians are bound by an oath to protect the Temples and Priests of Sanguis Astroism.

-The military structure of Astrum 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 a very bad sponsoring system, it is now departed. The Order will always be remembered with joy, especially among the older nobles of Astrum.
