INTRODUCTION

 

Formed by Nefertari Abdallah in 1833 with the blessing of High Pontiff Tylos I, the Papal Duchy of Atrus serves as the bastion and protection of the Canonist faith. A home for it's peoples and the various folk who take up the faith.

 

Originating in the Southern Kharasi desert, these canonist nomads lay the Duchy brick by brick until the Holy City of Sabattus was conjured from their minds. In time, many a pilgrim and priest, knight and criminal seeking atonement ventured to the city and joined it’s ranks. With them, they brought virtue, chivalry, piety and the will of God. Thus, the dream that is the Duchy of Atrus was born.

CULTURE

 

Forged by a dream, the Atrussian folk live a colorful and regal life to represent such. The heated climate and their close proximity to the trade roads allowing them a stable income of silk, jewelry and other fashionable items to decorate their style.

 

With a strong canonist faith, the pious Atrussians revere the faith in every aspect possible, living their life how GOD intended. Even if the scriptures suggest diligence, the heated mesa offers many luxuries; causing the Atrussians to live a life baked in paradise. 

 

MILITARY

The Atrussian folk are used to taking up the blade. Many a citizen wear scalemail and other protection in their daily attire, and even more have taken up arms in a Military Order of some kind that has come to reside in Atrus. 

 

Whether it be the Holy Cataphracts, of whom are sworn to protect the monarchy; or the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn, of whom fight for the Clergy, the Atrussian people are a fighting folk; prepared to take up the cross and blade for GOD and country.

 

CITY

 

The holy city of Sabattus is home to the Atrussian folk. Housing many peoples, and with great monuments dedicated to GOD; this city is a truly beautiful paradise to behold. Centred near the silk roads on the way to the Trade Kingdom of Sutica, it is luxurious and blessed.

 

The city is the home of many a religious folk, ranging from the holy knight to the holy father. As such, it is kept cleanly and pure as the white walls that surround it. Many shrines dot around the landscape, dedicated solely to the Saints and the Lord. Half of the city is independently owned by the clergy, and the Monarchy has sworn to not interfere in church business on these palatinates.

The Knight-Regent Emeritus and leader of two different Holy States during his time would frown his brows a bit reading this over, the man would look to his fire place as he wondered “how can they declare it as an Holy State or Holy Palatinate if they mean the High Pontiff shall stay uninvolved in matters of the running of the city and government, an holy state shall be lead by the High Pontiff, always at the highest of leaders, with people under him to aid, not a so called monarchy. It seems these nomads are more interested in hiding behind the church than to actually aid it.. what is to happen if the Monarch suddenly decides he does not like the High Pontiff? A Holy State shall be LEADBY THE PONTIFF and only he alone” he’d shake his head a bit, a slight tear falling from his cheek as he looked to a painting of his two different Holy States Vuillermoz, and the Holy Palatinate of Aquila.
