@Swirl Oriath is an isolated island nation ruled by a theocratic Templar government. It serves as a penal colony, exiling criminals and undesirables to the nightmarish continent of Wraeclast. Oriath is dominated by the Templar Order, worshiping a deity of light and justice known as Innocence. The highest authority is the High Templar (such as Dominus) , who rules through fear, strict martial law, and the Ebon Legion.
Unlike the ruined continent of Wraeclast, which was the seat of the ancient Eternal Empire, Oriath was established as a surviving imperial outpost to keep the population compliant, the Templars regularly hold purges, exiling anyone who threatens their dogma.
