​

THE GUIDE TO GOVERNANCE OF THE IMPERIAL STATE OF THE JEN'TEVAS​

​

COMPOSED BY ETHERIUD'ULAK, NEKESTI'ARI​

​

​

INTRODUCTION​

​

In the holy state of our lord, our Jen'Tevas, it is essential that we establish a set of guidelines and structure that allows for us to complete his holy will on a moments notice. While we are not an empire that exists to expand or destroy the foundations that have already been laid down, we are still an empire, and thus we require structure in order to avoid lawlessness and chaos. The government that is explained in this document is one that seeks to guide those that come to the empire or the faith seeking guidance or opportunities.​

​

The Empire of the Jen'Tevas is ruled as a theocratic state in where the religious sector and all other sectors pertaining to governance are tied into one. While absolute adherence to the faith is not necessary, it is required to keep an open mind and be willing to accept the fact that the religion will be all around those who wish to enter the political scene or live within the boundaries of the empire. This document is written so that those who wish to enter the empire have an understanding as to how the state operates and how their lives will be affected by the slight differences between the Empire of the Jen'Tevas and their original homes.​

​

Any questions should be directed to Etheriud Yvvera or the Minister of the Interior. Thank you, and enjoy the reading.​

THE JEN'TEVAS​

​

Who? ​

The Jen'Tevas, blessed be his name, is he who leads us from the shadows into the bright future of tomorrow. The Jen'Tevas is the manifestation of the spirit of our lord who shares the same name. The current host, known by his previous name as Korogum, is a vessel for him to express and share his divine will with the Empire as a whole. The Jen'Tevas is a force that aided in the creation of the universe* and acts as a figure for the whole of the empire to rally behind as a united cause of spreading his word to the masses. Whatever his will is, as is also the will of the empire. ​

​

Role?​

Those that are chosen to embody the Jen'Tevas act as the spiritual and civil guides of all followers of the faith. The host acts as the Kal'Evos, or Emperor, of the state that acts to protect his divine will and texts. The Jen'Tevas is an important figure in day-to-day life as he represents the central authority figure of the empire as a whole. As Emperor, the Jen'Tevas wields significant authority in the empire such as having final say on many legislative pieces and military strategy but is also limited by the power of the councils that exist to truly govern the Empire while the Jen'Tevas fulfills his duty of spreading his word and furthering understanding of the religion and the galaxy as a whole. ​

​

What is his role in politics? ​

The Jen'Tevas' role in politics is limited at best due to his duties being prioritized elsewhere. Think of it much like the Pope of Roman Catholicism in that while he does truly lead the state, his priorities are much more centered around matters of faith and protection of those that are in need of it. If the need arises for the Jen'Tevas to intervene in political matters then he may do so with absolute authority but only under approval from the body in which he is about to enter. The Jen'Tevas ceremoniously inaugurates the Jen'Kommunal, the First Sandara, and the priesthood into session after every election season and after every break period. If the need may arise, the Jen'Tevas' word is able to become directly applied to law and when it is spoken, it will be done until repealed by the lord himself.​

​

What is his role in civilian life? ​

The Jen'Tevas is much more centered around the lives of the civilians than that of political matters. The Jen'Tevas acts as a guide of faith and a guide of life as he directs the ways of life and spirit of those that follow the faith. When matters of spiritual crisis or importance occur, the Jen'Tevas is in charge of immediately targeting and solving the issue with the aid of the Priesthood. As a central authority figure, it is also necessary for the Jen'Tevas to make his presence known to his people by annually travelling to temples and monasteries dedicated to the faith and commending those that serve.​

THE INNER CREATIONS​

​

WHO?​

The Inner Creations are the highest council within the empire that serves directly under their lord and master, the Jen'Tevas. The members of this council are the Jen'Tevas' personal enforcers, messengers, and prophets that act to enforce and serve his every command. The Inner Creations stand above the normal law and are known to travel frequently around various temples and monestaries throughout the galaxy to spread the word of the Jen'Tevas. As of the writing of this document, there are two Inner Creations known to exist: Nekesti'Ari and Prazutis'Ari, the two most influential and public of the Inner Creations, they act as prophets and diplomats rather than warriors. The Inner Creations are not the most powerful in the empire in terms of strength, and do not hold authority over the military or government unless granted prior permission by the Jen'Tevas to interfere in their affairs. ​

​

ROLE?​

As a whole, the Inner Creations are personal advisers and council to the Jen'Tevas in day-to-day matters and aid him in understanding the force and the religion that they have built around the long lost god. The Inner Creations are in charge of maintaining, translating, uncovering, and developing the religion of the empire further as well as fulfilling any wishes that the Jen'Tevas may have. Aside from acting as aids or as enforcers, the Inner Creations serve very limited roles within the empire. ​

​

WHAT ARE THEIR ROLES IN POLITICS?​

The Inner Creations are a very exclusive part of the government in that they do not interact with the political side of the empire unless explicitly told to or ceremony prescribes it. The only sphere of politics that they even remotely get involved in if they have to is the priesthood in where they discuss scripture and religious ethics along with the interpretation of text or development of locations for the religion. If ceremony or the Jen'Tevas requires it, the Inner Creations will appear wherever needed. Aside from that,​

​

WHAT ARE THEIR ROLES IN CIVILIAN LIFE?​

​

First Sandara - Head of government within the Empire not pertaining to religious affairs. Acts as a direct underling to the Jen'Tevas and his council of creations. Leads legislative and judicial affairs that are not large enough to be brought before the council or the Jen'Tevas.

Sandara Kommunal - Council of Sandaras that lead aspects of the Empire or act as personal underlings to Inner Creations.
List:
-Sandara Busena (Minister of State, foreign affairs)
-Sandara Siela (Minister of Interior, police and governance)

-Sandara Finas (Minister of Treasury, economics and corporations)
-Byloti Tauta (Head of the Temple of the People)

Temple of the People
The temple of the people is the legislative body that is comprised of the commoners and is where matters of non-spiritual affairs are brought to be debated and judged. Imperial legislation is typically passed through this house. Typically seen wearing black robes.

The Priesthood
The Priesthood is the body responsible for all matters deemed to be spiritual in nature and in need of oversight by a council of holy men. The matters that are brought before this house are mostly matters of heresy, training, permissions for temples, and debate over the teachings of the Jen'Qo in a lively environment. Typically seen wearing red robes.
