New Theocracy: Thulsoma
The new realm of Thulsoma is founded by the remnants of the once powerful Virovene in the small city of Storms Keep. The origin and purpose are still unknown. Thulsoma is a rare variety of a weed. Sir Glaumring, former Justiciar of Virovene has proclamed himself King of this new theocracy.
Virovene Falling apart!
After duels and assassinations, the high throne of Virovene falls to Kaiser Kole. The lords of the regions of Virovene change their allegiance to Morek. During this time, the Justiciar of Virovene, Glaumring, begins to teach of a new way of Sanguis Astroism. In this new teaching, the 13-pointed, Maddening star is dominant over others. In an effort to spread this new teaching, Glaumring created the realm of Thulsoma. The Magesterium is currently commencing a trial of Glaumring who is charged with heresy.
Followers Outside of Theocracies
Most of the Sanguis Astroism followers are from the theocracies of Sanguis Astroism, but there are a few from other lands. Based on my research there are a total of 16 followers outside of the theocracies.
- Caerwyn - 1
- D'Hara - 4
- Everguard - 1
- Pian en Luries - 1
- Raivan Empire - 3
- Summerdale - 1
- Terran - 5
10 of these non-theocratic followers hold high positions in their respective governments.
An interesting statistic if you think about it. If we could only establish a firm hold over these believers then perhaps we can spread the teachings even further within these realms. Also, please note that there are NONE from Madina, Grand Duchy of Fissoa, Myern, and Ordenstaat.
