Rogue Protoss

Rogue Protoss

The Theocracy of Rogue Protoss is a large, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 23 million love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

Geography

The country is based on a series of islands,and somewhat hilly and rich in natural resources, such as coal, silver, and gold.

Templars of Shakuras is located in the Taijitu Region. It is composed of 5 islands: New Antoich, Antoich, Asar, Ni Monn Adun and Scion. The region is quite cool for much of the year and rain is common, but there is a great deal of plant and animal life which thrives in the jungles.The highest mountain in Shakuras is Mount Razjan, which is regarded almost religiously by many Templars.

History and Politics

It began as a series of simple disagreements but eventually erupted into a global conflict that lasted untold centuries and became known as the “Aeon of Strife”. The clans continued to battle across the face of Aiur seeking the destruction of each other.The Aeon of Strife would have continued without pause, Throughout the course of his life, Khas developed a path of enlightenment for the Protoss, which became known as the Khala. Khas, aided by a growing number of Protoss warriors trained through the Khala, would end the fighting and bring his teachings to every part of Aiur. Centuries later, the Protoss still live by the Khala and, with the exception of the Dark Templar, have never fought each other since the end of the Aeon of Strife.

The Khala was not simply a guide to enlightenment; it had rules on how to live, how to govern, and how to wage war.Khas dedicated his life to extending the Khala to include every part of Protoss life, from the smallest chores to the largest problems. While Khas was unable to eliminate the clan structure that he saw as causing so much destruction, his vision of three castes was adopted. The Khala created three castes that would exist above the existing clan structure. The first was the Templar caste, which would act as the military for the Protoss and the defenders of Aiur, the most powerful warriors and psychics became members of the Templar caste. The second was the Judicator caste, which was responsible for controlling the government and all administrative positions inside of the government. The last caste was known as the Khalai, which consisted of all other positions in their society: the workers, laborers, scientists, and engineers, just to name a few. To incorporate the castes into the clan structure, many clans became dominated by a single caste, but no member of a clan was forbidden from joining any caste that suited them. The three castes and the many clans were ruled by the Conclave, which consisted of the elders of the Judicator caste and had representatives from the Templar and Khalai castes.

Culture

Protoss religion takes its roots from the wars that plagued Aiur. United under the teachings of Khas after several generations of warfare, the Protoss began to adhere to Khas's teachings of the "Khala", or Path to Ascension. When Protoss warriors die in battle it is believed that they have reached the "Khala's End."

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.

In addition, however, Executor Tassadar is revered by a large percentage of the population as a saviour of the nation. He is Praised daily by the People of Protoss
