The Kingdom

The Kingdom in the era of the Ascension was the dominant force in the land, though it's influence had been steadily declining over several centuries. The Kingdom was ruled from the city of Brightshire. The city was a shining beacon for the continent and the seat of intrigue and corruption. The Monarch of the Kingdom was elected from a group of candidates, chosen from among the highest of the nobility. In the past the candidate put forward by the Paragons was chosen, but that was not the case any longer. The Paragons held great power inside the Kingdom and beyond but it wasn't absolute. The Kingdom was tolerant of other deities, within reason, but the dominant faith of the realm centered on the Triarchy of the Sun.
