Niranist States

The Niranist states are a group of semi independent states whose rule is dictated by the Council of Ronis, a group of nine Niranist High Priests, who live and govern from the Temple of Ronis. The temple is situated atop the tall plateau in the center of the city of Crocis, the capital of the Niranist state of Coreilis. The Niranist states differ from the definition of states used most commonly in the Northern Isles, as the states do not have their own independent rulers or governments, instead all following the rule of the Niranist Church. Each Niranist State is divided into Diocese, each of which has its own ruling church which rules in accordance to its own interpretations of Niranist law. Though each diocese may have its own interpretation of the law, decisions made by the Council of Ronis apply equally to all diocese, and must be followed strictly. The Niranist states each possess one central diocese which has jurisdiction over the direct rule of their state, but must still follow the decisions of the Council.

Niranist states vary in the severity of their religious law, but in general there are many consistencies. Mind altering substances such as alcohol are forbidden on all Niranist land, with the exception of Selana Island, which lies in the river separating the main island of Miyeilcis from the mainland. Non-Niranists are forbidden from owning property in all Niranist land, although there are many workarounds to this rule, used most frequently in Miyeilcis.
