Authority of Yil

Often seen as the last bastion of true Tecvar spiritualism in an often materialist Union, the Authority of Yil is a theocratic monarchy which has been in continued existence for over 4700 years in Tecvar history. Despite this the Authority has been in steady decline for most of it's recorded history, the vast colonial empire it once controlled slowly degrading and stagnating into obscurity.Tradition and religion are easily the most important aspect of the Authority, upmost loyalty to the state as well as your gods are incredibly important to have any respect in Yil culture. The monarchs wield immense power and respect, with special Sentinels known as "Paladins" dedicated solely to guarding them. Despite all the glory and majesty, multiple humiliating wars between younger and less religious nations have degraded the ancient traditions causing political upheaval, the monarchy is likely on it's last breath.

Culture
Life in the Authority is tedious and repetitive, You absolutely must make all nineteen thousand prayers everyday, else you will be labeled as an impure heretic. Churches are massive and ancient, with the most intricate design found anywhere on Pulvar. Bishops in great capes of gold and hats of iron sing prayer day and night, bells chime through the taller-than-wide city of Yonnrea. Yilians are often depicted as kind, yet strict people.
