Thrane
Always the focal point of faith for the Five Nations and The Union of Helleya, Thrane's troubles during The Last War saw the religious leaders come together and, in the name of the souls of its citizens throw a bloody coup. It emerged from the war as a full blown theocracy, ruled by the Oracle: a divinely chosen mouthpiece of the will of the gods, currently an 11 year old girl, Lernari, who claims a connection to the spirit of Helleya herself.
Reverence of the gods is enshrined within its people from an early age and even the slightest show of disrespect towards them can result in harsh punishment. After the end of The Last War, Thrane has tried to lessen influence from other nations as much as possible whilst also sending out apostles and missionaries to encourage greater faith among the other nations.
The ousted monarchy and nobles officially fled years ago but rumours persist that they continue to live in Thrane. There are those among the Thrane citizenry who would like to see their return to power, not that such views are safe to share in anything louder than a whisper. The Temple is well aware that any sign of weakness could be the first step along a path to civil war.
