The Terrestrial Empire of Qiyn

The Terrestrial Empire of Qiyn is one of the first established and longest lasting states in Terras. Whether the Rodinan Witchkings settled on the Vaemor Peninsula first, or if the legends of Evailia are real, the Alhiza of Qiyn consider themselves the oldest peoples of the world.

Qiyn is an expansionist empire that seeks to bring the truths of Nymatism and the values of the Alhiza culture to all on the Oboris continent. Their neighbors fear the day that Qiyn sets its eyes on them.

Government
The Terrestrial Empire of Qiyn is called so because it is only the earthly portion of an empire that extends into the spirit realm and further. Even before the teachings of Nym spread like wildfire across Qiyn, the Alhiza followed a faith similar to Eilito or Cykato that placed importance on the energies of the world. Because of this, Qiyn has always recognized itself as the earthly representative of the forces behind the world.

Qiyn utilizes a complicated system of bureaucracy that sees many aspects of governance being compartmentalized and with only a representative or two being answerable to the Emperor Farzad Danesh. Because of this, although the emperor technically has absolute power within Qiyn, many technicalities and processes can stymie, delay, or even outright veto his decisions.

Bureau of Scrivining

Bureau of Auditing

Bureau of Serving
