Assyrian Royalty

Structure

Assyrian nobles compete for the right to rule when the monarch dies. Mastery over astral sorcery defines the social hierarchy in the upper echelons.

Culture

The violent origins of the country has bled its way into the memories of the families old enough to have seen the old conflicts. Might makes right, in most circumstances. With a desire to keep the gift of The Comet of Cassandora strong in their blood, inbreeding has been an issue for many families.

History

The families rose from the tribes surrounding The Comet of Cassandora when it first fell on the Assyrian coast. They ruled for a thousand years to date, though the gift of sorcery has diminished over time, due to genetic dilution. In modern day, they still enjoy sizable wealth and respect, especially in military roles.
