Luminara Concord Government and Military

GOVERNMENT OF THE LUMINARA CONCORD

I. SUPREME AUTHORITY

The High Luminary of the Concord

Held by: High Luminary Aestra Dawnveil
Nature: Spiritual and moral authority through divine communion and prophecy

The Luminara Concord is guided by light, but not ruled by absolutism. At its apex stands the High Luminary, first among equals and chosen through confirmed prophetic convergence rather than inheritance or force.

The High Luminary serves as:

  • Spiritual anchor of the Concord

  • Interpreter of celestial will

  • Final arbiter in matters of prophecy, heresy, and holy war

Her authority is persuasive, not tyrannical—yet when prophecy aligns, her word becomes unchallengeable.

Light reveals
Healing restores
Truth endures

The Concord believes that illumination, not domination, is the proper expression of divine power.

II. THE RADIANT SYNOD

Function: Theocratic governance, doctrine, and inter-city coordination
Nature: Consensus-driven, reverent, and deeply cautious

Beneath the High Luminary sits the Radiant Synod, a council composed of spiritual leaders, seers, and wardens from the Concord’s city-states.

Core Members:

  1. High Luminary Aestra Dawnveil
    Spiritual head and prophetic voice

  2. Arch-Seer Thalion Lightroot
    Master of prophecy, omens, and celestial alignment

  3. Seraph Knight Elion Virel
    Commander of holy guardians and crusader forces

  4. Matron Lysara Sunbloom
    High healer and keeper of sanctuaries

  5. Inquisitor Calreth the Pure
    Executor of doctrine and hunter of corruption

Decisions require consensus unless prophecy dictates urgency.

III. TERRITORIAL GOVERNANCE

Sanctuary City-States

Role: Semi-autonomous holy cities bound by shared doctrine

The Concord is not a single nation, but a theocratic commonwealth of sanctuary cities, each devoted to healing, prophecy, or celestial study.

  • Each city governs its civil affairs locally

  • Religious law is uniform across all territories

  • Tithes fund healing networks and crusader orders

Autonomy is respected—heresy is not.

IV. LAW & ORDER

The Doctrine of Radiance

Enforced by: The Radiant Inquisition

Law within the Concord is theological rather than secular.

  • Crimes are judged by intent, harm, and spiritual corruption

  • Demonic practice and shadow magic are capital heresies

  • Redemption is offered—once

Those who refuse the light are removed from it.

V. MILITARY STRUCTURE

The Seraphic Orders

Command Authority: Seraph Knight Elion Virel

  • Elite paladins, clerics, and sanctified warriors

  • Deployed against demonic incursions and planar breaches

  • Often operate alongside Solarian forces

They embody mercy backed by steel.

The Lightwardens

Command Authority: Radiant Conclave

  • Defensive forces protecting sanctuary cities

  • Trained in warding, exorcism, and civilian protection

  • Rarely deployed offensively

They exist to preserve life, not conquer land.

VI. HEALING & SACRED INFRASTRUCTURE

The Sanctified Circles

Oversight: Matron Lysara Sunbloom

  • Networks of healing sanctuaries and pilgrimage routes

  • Serve as hospitals, refugee havens, and ritual centers

  • Neutral ground—even in wartime

To violate a sanctuary is to invite universal condemnation.

VII. INTELLIGENCE & INTERNAL PURITY

The Radiant Inquisition

Operated by: Inquisitor Calreth the Pure

  • Hunts demonologists, corrupted seers, and false prophets

  • Investigates Ashkara Covenant infiltration

  • Feared even within the Concord

Truth is sacred. Mercy has limits.

VIII. RELIGION & IDEOLOGY

The Concord worships celestial beings and divine principles, not gods as tyrants.

  • Light is guidance, not domination

  • Faith must be proven through action

  • Healing is the highest miracle

Power exists to serve life—not rule it.

IX. HOW POWER ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS (GM TRUTH)

  • Prophecy guides policy—but interpretation is political

  • The Inquisition causes internal fear

  • Alliance with the Solarian Imperium brings protection and tension

  • Some healers resent crusades

  • A false prophecy could fracture the Concord

The light unites—but it can also blind.

X. PLAYER ENTRY POINTS

PCs may engage the Luminara Concord through:

Holy pilgrimages or healing missions
Investigations of demonic corruption
Prophetic interpretation or crisis prevention
Mediation between faith and empire
Internal dissent within the Radiant Conclave

The Concord offers hope—but demands truth in return.
