Holy Chevkri Empire

The Holy Chevkri Empire, or HCE for short, is a state located in Haven. It seceded from Umbria and Qeshbago.

Its government is modelled on an elective monarchy, with the Imperial Throne having complete executive authority, but voted for ny electors from each town.

Lore idea for religion: after the war with the piglins, the mother (lets call her ishka) Ishka sets humanity four commandments: 1. the nether corrupts the purity of the overworld, and as such travel to the nether should be limited, along with contact with stuff like netherrack, potions, netherite. 2. The soul is the spirit of the overworld, and the body is the spirit of the nether, and as such power of the soul should be placed over power of the body (mental strength is superior to physical strength) this means that everyday citizens should not fight in war as it is a barbaric practice only for piglins, with the exception of the special holy warrior class which are given the blessing of Ishka and are permitted to fight in war. 3. respect and harmony is necessary to maintain the world that Ishka built for us, and so we must not indulge in barbarism or else we are no better than the piglins. 4. we must respect the natural world that Ishka created, most importantly the lakes and rivers as that is Ishkas lifeblood. Water is thus a holy substance. lava on the other hand is sinful. churches should be built as high up and tall as possible (big long spires) because Ishka lives above the clouds and so being higher means being closer to god. Water should also play a large role in the look of churches. Civilization was then built and all the lands of the lands of Haven were united together under the first Chevkri empire, beginning a long golden age of many thousand years. Eventually however the empire fell to infighting and the uncle (brother of the father) saw what was going on and decided to turn himself into a dragon and burn all of Mithra to the ground. The humans were exhausted fighting eachother, and could not stop the dragon. The dragon was then nicknamed the 'end dragon' as he signified the end of times. Ishka eventually heard their screams and saved the last humans from extinction. Ishka saw that the humans had let themselves fight each other and fall to barbarism which weakened them and let them be exploited by the uncle. It was then the Ishka added a final 5th commandment, that demanded all those of the chevkri must hold absolute loyalty to their lord, and thus the natural hierarchy of feudalism was put in place. The uncle was also banished to the end dimension, where he would be chained to obsidian towers where he could not leave without dying to void sickness, and guarded by hordes of endermen. Then new tribes from the outside began to settle the continent of Haven, and the original people chosen by god were pushed into smaller and smaller pastures until they were conquered entirely by the umbrians and the qeshbago, until their history was forgotten. Then Ishka revealed herself again to the Chevkri people, and so they knew they must rebel against their heathen overlords. Now, as the rightful descendants of the once great (first) Chevkri empire, the second chevkri empire will restore unity to Haven and the overworld.
