![]() ![]() ![]() Because of this, House Charthagnion can look forward to centuries of servitude to the powers of Hell. House Charthagnion: This house made a supernatural pact with infernal powers giving their members superhuman wisdom.House Thrune may currently be the most powerful of the noble houses, but it is certainly not the only one. Many of these laws are not enforced, and may not even be enforceable, but they serve the purpose of the government by allowing the prompt removal of undesireable elements of society under some perceived or interpreted infraction. The laws of Cheliax are based upon the Asmodean Disciplines which also serve as the primary religious text for the Church of Asmodeus. Organized secular and religious forces such as the Hellknights and the Inquisitors further strive to quell any organized dissent. Ambition causes normal citizens to turn in those that they suspect as traitors to Imperial Cheliax for the perceived promise of wealth and advancement. Nationalistic feelings run deep and are practically required to avoid suspicion. ![]() Cheliax is far from the abomination of twisted evil imagined by many outsiders, but it does not allow room for any dissent. There is a great deal of physical peace and order which allows the lives of ordinary citizens to proceed normally, but it carries a high moral price. This is in direct response to the 30 years of internecine warfare and chaos that proceeded the Thrune Ascendancy as well as the absolute order inherent in the support of Hell. Governmental policy within Cheliax is focussed upon maintaining order and quelling dissent. Currently Queen Abrogail II rules Cheliax with the aid and support of her infernal regent General Gorthoklek. Much of the power of House Thrune was gained through the initial bargain struck between Abrogail Thrune and the rulers of Hell although rumors abound that additional pacts have been made since that time in the quest for still greater power. Since the Thrune Ascendancy of 4640 AR, Cheliax has been ruled by House Thrune along with a new configuration of noble houses made up of those willing to follow the philosophy of Diabolism. ![]()
