Astrum
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.
