Introduction
Istrania, also known as the Eternal Kingdom of Istrania by the rest of the world, is a theocratic monarchy created long ago. However, none can say when. Its origin has vanished beneath countless generations, and what is left has become one big mess of history and myth, facts and miracles. Yet it is still accepted by the Istranians, as tradition itself has become the truth.
The kingdom exists only due to the actions of the mythical godking; though absent from the world of mortals, he remains the kingdom's rightful sovereign. In the Godking's absence, the kingdom has been run by a succession of regents, some chosen by assemblies, others inherited it by blood and some by trial of combat. All have sworn the same oath: not to rule for themselves, but to preserve the kingdom until the day the Godking returns. To seek the crown for oneself is considered the worst form of treason and blasphemy.
Istrania stands as a paradoxical nation of both tradition and progress; cathedrals cast their shadows over the sprawling industry fuelling a growing population and military. Railways lay side by side with ancient monasteries, whose history have been lost long ago, all in the same pursuit of creating a realm truly worthy of the Godking. All of this has shaped Istrania into a hierarchical society, who favor discipline over individuality, loyalty over ambition, and duty over desire. To be totally devoted to the godking from humble farmers to the highest priest. All are merely small parts in the great plan of the godking.
