Usharay Divinity
I wasn't able to finish this article during Summer Camp, but here's a stub of what I'd wanted to write.
An organization rooted in controversial principles.
A quote would go here. Perhaps from an Usharayan official about another glorious day in the divinity.— attr
Divine Right to Rule
The royal family was chosen by the gods to rule, leader is called a divinator
the right to rule is passed to the eldest child upon death of their parent, gender-ambivalent
divinators must be those who trace their bloodline to the first
they surround themselves with their Chosen, who can be anything from trusted friends, to advisors, to lovers
one is their First Chosen, who appears with the divinator at most functions, and is the second parent to the divinator's child
divinators typically only have one child - their ability to have a single child and raise them to be a healthy adult helps prove they have the divine right to rule and the gods' protection
there are rumors that a divinator will secretly have multiple children and raise them in secret. should the first child die, they will be secretly replaced with a backup child to hide news of the death from the public
Divine Right to Conquest
they use this tie to divinity to justify continued conquest
conquered lands are meant to worship the divinator alongside their patron god
between the destruction caused by battles, the cost of maintaining armies and repairing roads, and then this forced spirituality, the Divinity doesn't get much loyalty from conquered peoples
however, the divinity is a rich country due to the wealth of resources within their borders. this, and the fear of "what if they do have divine right actually", leads most civilians to accept whatever the divinity wants to do
Some other quote would go here, probably from a citizen annoyed about propping up an altar to the divinator— attr
