Government Overview

Sayt is an anomaly, as it is almost unheard of to have both a reigning monarch and a functional socialist government. The day to day the country is run by the Council of hierarchs, twelve fairly powerful physics, who are appointed by the "God-Emperor". The God-emperor makes important decisions that affect the state as a whole, such as war, the budget etc.

Religion

Note: much of this section is religious hearsay.

The main religion in Sayt is the So called "Cult of Fenrir" who worship the God-Emperor Fenrir. To those out side the cult it is acknowledged that the so called "God" is in fact an incredibly powerful psychic capable of atomic manipulation on a large scale.

The cult of Fenrir is composed mainly of every native Saytian in the country and most of Sayts expatriate citizens.

Rituals

Remembrance:

The Ritual of Ritual of remembrance is a ritual in which the ritualist inhales the Fumes of several herbs added to the flame of consecrated wood, if the powders are added in the wrong order the ritualist experiences extreamly unpleasant effects, such as Nausea, vomiting and death and a rather nasty rash. If, however the herbs are added in the correct order the fumes mix to become a powerful awareness spectrum narcotic. The ritualist then sees the body of every single person they have killed or have known since they last performed the ritual. They then offer a single drop of their own blood to appease their spirits.
