The Trisagion Commonwealth, A Brief History

In the latter days of the Tersanctan Empire, things seemed to be rather well. Peace had reigned with her Sister Nation, Drakonian Imperium, a once fierce enemy, turned fiercer ally, and friend. The Economy had boosted too frightening levels, and her population thundered at One Billion Imperial Subjects. But as is usually the case; something must happen that tests the resolve of men in adverse times.

And so it was, that the Drakonian Imperium's Central Government fell into disarray. It was beleieved to be internal sabotage, and strife. Though to this day, noone can say what truly happened. What can be said, and is well documented, is that the two mighty Nations shared the same continent of Nusquam Esse, and with the loss of one nation, either measures had to be taken, or a thousand years of warfare and death, would return to plague all.

And so over a two year period, and at great expense of the Empire, Peacekeepers and Soldiers marched over Drakonia, and at times things were cautiously peaceful, at others, outright civil war. Until it was finally decided that the Drakonians fear of being ruled by Tersanctus could be quelled with a semi-auntonomous entity serving as there central Government, closely watched by the Imperial Senate. Though many have called this nothing more than a puppet Government, time and time again, the Drakonians have proved there independent spirit.

However, the Drakonians were willing to be absorbed into the Empire, under the guise, of a Commonwealth. And so was born, the Trisagion Commonwealth. Which now, after thirty years has brought massive strength, and wealth, to those who live under her flag.

The Kungshaoist Templar, Holy Warriors and Defenders of the Empire

To ask what the Templar are, is a simple question, but with a complicated answer. Kungshaoism is a Religion as old as Tersanctus herself, in fact, half the current population are followers. Followers believe that at one time, thousands of years ago, A Dragon-God, named Kungshao, made his intentions known too mankind, and gave teachings, and prophecies, in the thousands, to the wisest of the men.

Thus was the Temple of Kungshao formed. To protect the unity that Kungshao had brought, soldiers trained too fight for the Temple, and quell insurrections, and protect from invaders. Service lasted a lifetime, and the tradition continues too this day. At sixteen A young man may join the Temple in service to Kungshao and Tersanctus, (which is the origin of there motto, "For Lord and Land!") and Trains for five years in all aspects of Military and Academic training, before being promoted from Knight-Errant to Knight.

And currently there are over Three Million Templar, ready to serve the Empire, at a moments notice. Not Soldiers by any means, they are a Warrior class, who train non-stop, to serve as the Ultimate Defender of their Beloved Land.

OOC:...more too come....
