The Ancestral Order

The Ancestral Order is a nation in Eldham. The nation consists of the people from the Religious States of the Peoples Ancestors (RSPA). The Ancestral Orders culture and religion is heavily based off of their ancestors, primarily their primate brothern, monkeys. They believe the Inizo, or the Monkey King gave them the gift to evolve from the great species into what they are today, they believe they must honor the god for giving them this gift.

Pre-History
Before the Order and RSPA a group of barbarians and hunter gatherers unified as one to made a small city. This capital is now at the center of the Order, the capital city of Inizo. The barbarians raged war on the surrounding terittories, over hundreds of years the one small city grew. The RSPA was a direct cause of those wars. But throught the ages they became cocky, they were invaded by those who still surrounded them and were left with only a few states. These states fused to become one Order.

The early religion of the Orders people stems from beliefs that Inizo, the King of Monkeys gave them the gift to evolve into humans and that they must honor that. Yearly after every harvesting season the load 6 barrels full of food as a gift. The Ancestrial Orthodoxy states that no other gifts can be given, sacrifices of humans and primates are frowned upon completely. They believe the gift of life should be honored and by sacrificing humans they break that.

The First Ancestrial Khan was a General during the wars of the RSPA, the people believed that the greatest warrior should be the Khan and throughout all the people he killed to take the spot he was chosen. From that point forward he was treated only second to the Inizo himself.
