Dhonowlgos was a theocratic nation located on the Dnkluwos Islands in the northern region of Anaria. It stood as the center of Wolgos existence for countless millennia, remaining a secluded and mysterious entity, known to very few in the world of Gotha until the advent of the industrial era. The nation fiercely resisted any foreign intrusion throughout its history.
However, everything changed when the Dhonowlgos opened up to the world and joined the Pan-Anarian War. This decision marked a turning point in its fate. The war resulted in a conflict with Helreich and other Anarian nations, ultimately leading to the nation's downfall and destruction. As a consequence, the Wolgos were exiled to their sole colony on Altaia, where they had to rebuild their lives after the loss of their once-great theocratic nation.
Here the essence of the nation as it existed at its height before its downfall is presented.

Government and Politics
Central to the framework of Dhonowlgos' governance is a meticulously constructed tapestry woven from the threads of theocratic monastic rule, mysticism, and authoritative governance. The nation's political landscape is uniquely defined by a federation of monastic holdings known as dh'hghsleyghes, colloquially referred to as abbeys. These abbeys transcend mere administrative units; they serve as the lifeblood of Wolgos nation for centuries, presiding over towns, villages, and fertile farmlands.
Dh'hghsleyghes - Abbeys
At the core of Dhonowlgos' governance, abbeys were the governing entities for distinct territorial divisions, whether expansive or localized. Each abbey functioned as a governing body, steering the course of its domain. Overseeing the hierarchies of the abbeys was the elected high monk, known as Diushweg. Though the formalities of election were observed, the ascent of a Wolgos monk to the revered Diushweg position was a tale of intricate maneuvering, a display of religious and academic prowess, and diplomatic finesse.
The hierarchy of abbeys encompassed roles as the local administration, civil service, and spiritual guides. In a symbiotic pact, the inhabitants of an abbey's territory contributed tribute, whether currency or a portion of their harvest. In return, the abbeys extended protection, religious guidance, and administrative stewardship. Rooted in Wolgos society, the authority of the abbeys was derived from a blend of religious doctrine, witchcraft, and even violence. Notably, tyrannical behavior, as perceived by human standards, was an exception rather than the rule. The aura of power and might that abbeys projected sufficed to maintain their dominion.
Hghsbh’hendh – Circle of Faith
Abbeys, differing in size and influence, formed a collective symphony, culminating in the establishment of regional Hghsbh’hendhes, or Circles of Faith. These Circles were presided over by a Whloerra, a Diushweg whose ascent, through democratic means, elevated them as the most equal among equals. Rooted in a spirit of collaborative governance, the Circles focused on harmonizing economic policies, nurturing the growth of the crucial Eokoesr labor force, and fostering seamless coordination between administrative units. In essence, the Circles aimed to cultivate a unified governance structure that transcended individual abbeys.
Komh’hergh – Council of Circles
The Council of Circles, a harmonious assembly of Whloerra monks representing their respective Circles, emerged as the legislative heart of the nation. Beyond its legislative duties, the council bore the mantle of directing and coordinating national policies. However, its most sacred role was the interpretation and observance of the will and prophecy of the enigmatic Vlroicha. This solemn responsibility formed the cornerstone for the guidance of both the Council of Circles and the upper echelons of Wolgos governance.
Dlricho
Interwoven into Dhonowlgos' framework were the mysterious Dlricho. Unlike their counterparts tied to specific abbeys, the Dlricho found their abode in secluded compounds, nurtured by the benevolence of the state. These mystics, endowed with prophetic abilities, communion with the spirits of creation, and visions, added an extra layer of enigma. The Dlricho were drawn from Wolgos who exhibited the mystic psychosis – a fairly common condition. Once inducted into the Dlricho order, they were nurtured and submerged in religious doctrine, allowing them to explore their mystical talents fully. The prophecies and visions of the Dlricho were treated as revered omens, frequently consulted by abbeys. The unraveling of the mysteries within these insights often prompted extensive efforts to decode Dlrocha's intentions.
Vlroika
At the pinnacle of faith and the Council of Circles stood the foremost Dlricho monk, the Vlroika. Through a journey marked by rigor, devotion, and spiritual insight, the Vlroika personified the highest echelons of earthly authority among the Wolgos, second only to the spirits of nature and Dlrocha. The presence of the Vlroika within the Council of Circles carried weight universally acknowledged, wielding influence that directed decisions and held the power of veto. Deciphering the will of Dlrocha through the perspective of the Vlroika was no facile endeavor, often requiring the counsel of scholars specialized in mysticism. While some edicts and vetoes might have seemed counterintuitive, they were met with solemn respect, acknowledging the Vlroika's unique conduit to the divine realm.
