Category:The Episcopal States



The powerful theocracy governing Argos and The Dominion has earned them the name of The Episcopal States. Both principalities are tightly bound to The Church, which exercises an almost absolute control over them. Its people are deeply religious, for whom faith and devotion are their cornerstones. Geographically they are located in the southeast area of The Old Continent, on the coast bordering the Calistis Ocean. Of difficult climate, they are lands with few natural resources except for good vegetation and large fields.

The history of both principalities is intrinsically linked to the appearance of The Messiah, for it was there where he first appeared and began spreading his word. Moreover, during the age of The Holy Kingdoms both areas were part of the same kingdom, which became the largest center of power of The Church for its time.

Neither has formally seceded from The Empire, but they haven’t recognized the Empress as the legitimate successor either and they don’t reject The Azur Alliance. Both have currently chosen a new Supreme Archbishop; power that traditionally only belonged to The Sacred Holy Emperor, and have withdrawn its presence from the High Senate after a recent Imperial edict in which Adelina proclaimed religious freedom.

At the moment, nobody can say what will happen to The Episcopal States; if they’ll join The Empire, support The Azur Alliance or become a third independent power.
