The Federation
Players who wish hail from the isolated
and unique Federated Kingdom of the
Selda’niré, or Federation for short, must
also choose a caste from the Kingdom.
The Federation Nobility is completely
made up of elves and the largest racial
demographic is elven, but all races have
taken to residing with the Federation,
although Alved and Ereskial are very
rare.
The Federation is divided into six castes
accessible by the player population as
well as one caste that are strictly for
NPCs. Your caste reflects your role
within the structured society of the
Federation. Each caste performs an
important and unique function within the
Kingdom.
The five playable castes are:
- Manu: Caste of the Hand
- Oros: Caste of the Mouth
- Arcos: Caste of the Mind
- Prian: Caste of the Heart
- Valar: Caste of the Body
- The Delago: The Casteless Ones.
The caste of the
Regnum is not a playable caste by PCs.
The Laws of Harmonious Accord:
Regardless of caste all citizens of the
Federation are expected to follow the
Laws of Harmonious Accord. In addition
all citizens are expected to live their
lives as a work in progress towards
unification of the body and spirit. Both
the Laws of Harmonious Accord and the
Doctrine of Unity have been around
since the birth of the Federated Kingdom
centuries ago in the aftermath of the
Great Sin.
- At all times obey the Regnum as they
have ruled the Selda’niré since the
Shrouded Age. Their word is law and the
Divine Will supports that law.
- In all that you do, seek unification of the
mind, body, and spirit. In this way all
citizens shall be girded against the Great
Sin through the Doctrine of Unity.
- Citizens shall not commit violence
against one another or their property.
Theft, vandalism, battery, and murder
are subversions to unification and will be
punished.
The Doctrine of Unity:
All citizens of the Federated Kingdom of
the Selda’niré are required to have an
understanding and adherence to the
teachings of the Doctrine of Unity.
The Doctrine of Unity – Major Tenets is
a text dating back to the emergence of
the Purposed Races out of the Shrouded
Age. Those that would become the
Regnum caste brought it forth from the
darkness and it was used to preach
against falling again to the Great Sin.
When the elves put out the call to any
Purposed Races that wished a different
life than the empire could provide they
used the Doctrine of Unity as guiding
foundation for their newly formed
Kingdom. From the Doctrine they
codified their founding laws and
principle values.
- The mortal form is flawed yet filled with
Purpose. For Purpose to truly be
recognized one must bring their form
into harmony.
- Excess is the road to Sin. Practice
moderation in all that you do.
- All mortals are brothers and sisters along
the path of Unity. Thou shalt not be a
stumbling block unto them.
- Provide aid to any who need it, but not at
detriment to oneself. Temperance and
Conviction shall show you the way.
- Nature and Spirit are bound in accord
and that binding is Koreel. It is not
everyone’s path to bend knee to Koreel
but she should be shown respect in
accordance to her station and role.
- Garioch is the Shaper and through his
teachings one can mold their mind and
body into a suitable vessel. Show respect
to him for it is due.
