New Cheliax
An area ripe with twisted landscapes and black cities New Cheliax is a nation of evil, the wastes between cities are dangerous and filled with malign beasts, ravenous mutants, and insane bandits and cultists exiled to the wastes and marked for death. The cities may protect from the elements but countless trials wait inside. Corrupt aristocrats seize control of whatever they can before being put down for garnering too much power and threatening the status quo only to be replaced by the same.
Structure
Much like the feudal systems of old New Cheliax is ruled over by a monarch at its highest point, this monarch receives legitimization from the church, unlike those systems, however, the Church of Asmodeus is more direct in its legitimization providing armies of damned soldiers in return for the mandated state worship of Asmodeus.
Other positions do exist, however, these could be looked at as an item more akin to a cat toy, simply a tool to keep aristocrats busy while the church and monarch constantly tighten their grip.
Public Agenda
The reconquest of Avistan through the most convenient means, whether that be extermination or willing annexation.
History
Established almost a millennia before the great fall Cheliax was once a vassal of a nation known as Taldor. At some point during the lost histories, Cheliax rebelled from this collapsing nation and gained its own independence becoming the most powerful nation in the known world, this prosperity was ultimately short-lived. After the death of the god of mankind, Aroden, the ensuing turmoil led to the chelish civil war where House Thrune became the unquestioned ruler.
When the great fall finally came Cheliax found enemies at all sides and gave most of its ground consolidating its force, after this the chelish military and House Thrune marched north taking the lands leaving their crippled nation behind and establishing a new nation. A clever trap laid by Queen Abrogail II left the invaders with nothing, symphonies of their screams could be heard as millions burned in hellfire, enemies and chelish peasants alike.
Religion
"The veneration of deities other than Asmodeus and subservient entities (archdevils, infernal dukes, malebranche, et al.) is permitted by the grace of Her Infernal Majestrix, Queen Abrogail II of the Thrice-Damned House Thrune, and may be revoked at any time at her sole discretion. Those practicing these faiths in opposition to the Church of Asmodeus may be declared heretics and tired for their crimes, the penalty being execution or, in the case of clerics of the Dark Prince's enemies, damnation to Hell. Asmodeus is generous, and those who serve him will be rewarded, even with the ability to follow other gods, as long as none supplant the Archfiend in the hearts of his eternal servants-the people of Cheliax"
