THE KINGDOM OF HAVEN
Capital:
Short description:
The kingdom of Haven, first and foremost the first and greatest nation of the realm of the Sun God, is the country ruled by the Magisterium and the Lavoyard royal family. Created and administered under the authority of the Angiris Magisterium(Order) and the Lavoyard noble House, it is a still small but rich and developed serene Kingdom composed of the citadel capital of Knight's Haven and the surrounding Duchés and Comtés. The town and holy island of Le Havre house the most hallowed of saint grounds dedicated to the one true Sun God, the White Cathedral of Light. Knight's Haven stands as a bulwark for those oppressed and the frenchman all over Altera, and the grand regions that compose the realm of Haven are the promised grounds of the worshipers of Lord Ignis, wherever they may be.
Government type and structure:
Political system: Religious Monarchy
Governmental authority: The Ecclesiarchy and the Purple Court
Haven is ruled by both the Ecclesiarchy and the Purple Court, the first being the autority overlooking the maintaining of the Order Légions and most military matters, leaving La Garde Royale the duty of protecting the royal family and the nobility. The Purple Court, on it's side, is ruled over by the King and his ruling dynasty, and controls most economical, cultural and diplomatic matters. The Court takes most decisions concerning the inside and outside affairs with it's board consisting of the highest and most influential Chevaliers and Ducs of the Kingdom. The highest religious authority of the realm is without doubt the spiritual head, Exalted Archbishop Élias Beaumont. This holy man serves as the religious head of the realm of Haven, and his words are sacred. following the religious head, are several administrative members that oversee the spreading of the official cult, the Church of the Sun (Order).
The Purple Court:
The Purple Court consists of the bureaucratic, noble administration that controls the Kingdom's growth and diplomatics. It is overlooked by the King, with the help of the Archbishop, head of the Church, who has ultimate power in case of feuds or disputes within the Court (which tend to happen quite often). Control over the Purple Court is a large part of Frenchmen politics, as families and dynasties tend to juggle with the titles and positions, often to show which family is right over the other. The three current major noble families are; Lavoyard, Beaumont and De Hilde. The ruling family, under King Arthorius the first, is Lavoyard, while he is married to Queen Valerie de Beaumont. While the population refers to themselves as ''Lavoyardes'', they might be of other families then the Lavoyarde themselves, as it is a common misunderstanding in the Kingdom.
