Elbard Theocracy

The Elbard Theocracy (エルバード) is a nation that existed during the age of the Liberators.

Layout
The Elbard Theocracy's territory comprised of upper central region of the northern continent. The capital stood next to Divine Mountain that contained the Holy Church's Main Cathedral.

Its borders reached all the way to the Crimson Desert in the west, the Kingdom of Velka in the south, the Entris Federation along the south east, and the Uldia Dukedom along the east.

The square in the capital is a circle that is 300 meters across in diameter. It was often used for religious ceremonies, and so, the roads leading into it were extremely wide. All the nearby buildings were relatively small.

The residential areas closest to the Holy Church's Main Cathedral/Royal Palace were comprised of mansions that were owned by the theocracy's most affluential families.

Aside from the church's Main Cathedral, there were other churches in the four corners of the capital city, as well as a church in every town within the theocracy's borders.

Ideology
As a, Elbard's policies revolved around the Holy Church's doctrine of being subservient to their god Ehit. The Church's rulers acted at the nation's rulers, with the pope also serving as its king.

History
The exact founding of the Elbard Theocracy is unknown, yet it was unofficially regarded as the rulers of every other Human nation in Tortus due to it also serving as the HQ of the Holy Church.

When the cities that would evenutally form the Entris Federation were conceptualizing a more mordern means of transportation throuhout their territories, the theocracy provided them with the financial support that would lead to the creation of their infamous giant train-shapped golems "Mana Trains".

Thousands of years after the age of the Liberators, the Elbard Theocracy no longer existed, and was replaced by the Heiligh Kingdom that had been founded by Sharm Barn.
