Cziskilamonia

Cziskilamonia is one of the kingdoms of Linnath, and formerly one of the most powerful. It is a theocracy, lead by the head of the Katelikessan Church, the Katiskan. In recent years it has lost much of its power due to the rise of its sworn enemy, Sancterram.

History
There has always been a Katiskan in Czi, since the beginning of the world. Indeed, Cziskilamonia was from the start the most advanced of all the kingdoms, with knights and clerics of great power and repute. It was only at the personal request of Katelikessar himself that they did not conquer the realms of Linnath, instead building up a great wall around the city of Czi and its surrounding countryside. This project resulted in the White Wall of Cziskilamonia, which has never fallen to enemy attackers.

It was at the request of Katelikessar that the Katiskan gave his aid and land to the first king of Bourles, and at his command that the Katiskan named the Bourlesian monarchs the defenders and protectors of Katelikessar.

But soon enough, strife arose between the Katiskan and the surrounding princes, as the balance between Temporal and religious power shifted. Kings and leaders would rebel against the control of the Katiskan, and the Church would respond in kind with its armies and powers. Most troublesome were the elves, who often found themselves drawn instead to their own so-called deities. Finally this culminated in The Wooden War against the elves and the proclamation by Katiskan Sout VI of, "The Rebels Against the Lord of Light", a document which was used for centuries to justify the repression of elves, and their treatment as second-class citizens.
