The Templars: A Rebel faction dating from the First Templar Uprising, they silently increased, their influence to include their entire land as well as additional territory largely staying out of the war, and prolonging it as much as possible to ensure the complete destruction of the workers front and royalist factions economy. at present the civil war still continues, leaving the templar to take more and more land...

The Conclave has 13 seats, each seat holder is appointed due to his expertise in running the country.

The Kahlai Assembly is composed of 350 seats. Their occupants are elected every four years. The majority leader in the Council is known as Foremen, and has a place on the Conclave.

Culture

The Shakursan people have a rich cultural history. Even during the time of the Kingdom, the people always had a strong attachment to the hills which often came before their loyalty to the King. Mount Razjan in particular is a symbol of the nation and is viewed with great reverence as the site where the prophet Khas ascended to the Khala.

There is also a strong family culture, in which elderly relatives and ancestors are treated with great respect. Arranged marriages are not uncommon even in urban areas. Families keep contact with one another across great distances, and this culture has a place in politics as well.

Relgion is very much encouraged, There are Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist populations as well, and since the fall of the kingdom the old, traditional beliefs of the Shakurasan people have returned to fashion –The Khala (usually translated the Warriors Path) is becoming increasingly popular.

In addition, however, Prelate Zeartul is revered by a large percentage of the population as a saviour of the nation. Copies of the two books he wrote before the revolution exist in most Shakurasan households, as well as his book on the war itself.
