Territory of Starshield

​​​Capital: Lanchester

Feudalism/Monarchy

Freedom is Sovereignty” 

Pretty much a carbon copy of 12th century European feudalism, Starshield’s system relies on the monarchy and lords acting as the definitive political structure. This is another unstable system that breeds bad faith leaders.

 

Starshield is one of the five territories of Knightfall and home to such figures as Hermia Starshield the reigning monarch, Sidney Quinn Guardian and Protector of the people of Starshield.

 

The monarchy of Starshield has existed since the foundation of Knightfall. Over hundreds of years Kings and Queens have ruled over the territory with varying degrees of success and failure. The Starshield’s are widely accepted as a necessary evil due to fears of turning into a state like the neighbouring territory of Shadowgarde. The current ruler is Hermia, daughter of Elden Starshield III.

The system of Starshield is rigged to support the idea of freedom being exerted from a Sovereign ruler. The subjects of this realm are duped into upholding a system that serves the interests of a few wealthy lords and the monarchy.

Religion - Celestial Order of the Sovereign

Beliefs: The Celestial Order of the Sovereign follows a monotheistic faith centred around the worship of a single deity known as the Celestial Sovereign. They believe that the Celestial Sovereign created Knightfall and founded the territory of Starshield of which covered the entire land. They also believe that all Starshield’s inhabitants were created with a divine purpose, and that adherence to a strict code of ethics and morality is essential to fulfil this purpose.

Practices: Followers of the Celestial Order engage in regular prayer, fasting, and acts of charity to demonstrate their devotion to the Celestial Sovereign. They gather in grand cathedrals adorned with celestial motifs and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from their sacred texts. Their clergy, known as Celestial Scholars, study ancient scriptures and provide guidance to the faithful.
