Kingdom of Creed

The Kingdom of Creed is a nation located in the northwest regions of the Nieden mainland that was established after the fall of the Escharian Siorvat, comprised of the former Escania duchy as well as bits of the former Varmerion duchy. It borders the Confederacy of Fredonia to the southeast, the Realm of Escharia to the west, and the Simulami Empire to the south and east. (note, this wiki is still very much a WIP)

Creed's Founding
The Kingdom of Creed was founded after a chaotic series of events. The nation of Escharia fell into political turmoil after the capital of Lostesrei was taken and occupied by Bardonian forces, and ZenoHUN of the Simulami Empire offered all of the local dukes and duchesses from each Escharian region to temporarily integrate into Simulami. A few days after the integration, the duchies of Varmerion and Escania opted to leave Simulami, as they were allowed to leave within 30 days. They went on to form the short-lived Kingdom of Vasterien, led by its queen Illia Ⅰ an Aeszerii.

For a while, Vasterien was doing well in rebuilding the nation. They were even offered protection under Bardonia as a vassal, but due to a multitude of events Vasterien collapsed, and the territories that remained were split between Simulami and the Kingdom of Nieden, which was also a Bardonian vassal. While former Escharia's eastern territories departed Simulami to become a vassal known as Lyras Soleari, the western territories struggled. During this time, there were many difficulties going on with the Fallen Empire of Gertonia, which had tried to illegally break away from Simulami to join Plagatea as a vassal. After months of tiring work, ZenoHUN and Valendaesu, one of the mayors that signed the Treaty of Galitz which dissolved the Gertonian Empire, came together to form a new state out of the Duchy of Escania, Fallen Gertonia, and a few territories in Greater Gordoa. Hence, the Kingdom of Creed was born, with Valendaesu as its first and current monarch.

Secession from Simulami
During the Simulami Secession Crisis, the nation of Lyras Solearii seceded from Simulami after the failed war against the Lunari Empire and the one-man rebellion in the Kingdom of Osterium. Simulami gave the vassaldom to Lunaris, backed out of the war, and some began to think that they were preparing for a war against Lyras Solearii, and by extension, the Soleannen Church. Valerian of Creed and Illia of the Simulami region of Irastli-Varmerion (now the Kingdom of Vasterien), after numerous conversations with Oracle, the Ekeris (Cardinal) of Soleannen, decided to join Lyras Solearii in seceding from the Simulami Empire.

Religion
Soleannen is greatly encouraged amongst the people of Creed, as many former Escharians who follow the faith still live there. There are a few religions openly accepted within Creed, such as Soleviel, while others are accepted but not encouraged or allowed to be openly worshipped. However, religions such as Caligo worship, Segrism, Carlism, Void Mysticism, Atheism, and all religions prosecuted by the Soleannen faith are strictly not tolerated within Creed. As of now, the town of Solitude and Marsea are the only area within the nation without any restrictions on respected religions.

Government Structure
The government structure of Creed consists of many different positions:

Akerei (King) - The Akerei of Creed holds almost all of the power within Creed. The Akerei can pass any laws he sees fit, can overturn any decisions made by Creed's senate, and can replace any member of government if he chooses to do so. The Akerei is also completely in charge of diplomacy with other nations.

Kesefor (Advisor) - The advisors of the Akerei hold the second most amount of power in Creed. Those who hold this position are the most trusted of the Akerei and are allowed to act in his place whenever necessary. (work in progress)
