When Nyrond became a separate nation, the highly
religious peoples inhabiting the AREA between the
Rakers and Yol River likewise proclaimed their
autonomy. Their clerical leaders were in effect the
ruling nobles, and one of their # was chosen as
supreme for his lifetime. After warfare with their
southern neighbor and a period of subjugation, the
Pale became independent once again, and since then
has enjoyed a history of reasonable rule and relative
peace. Barbarian, humanoid, and bandit raiders
plague the Theocracy, but Prelatal troops are tough
and efficient and capable of handling most problems
of this nature. A balanced force of horse && foot
numbering over 4,000 guards the borders of the
realm, while levies numbering more than
10,000 can
be raised in a week.
The Pale is not noted for religious tolerance.
