Volpae
– Motto or Character Quote
A country governed by the Temple of the Golden Blade - the Goddess Daenestra's temple.
The Temple is founded on the principle of its followers loving, protecting and serving the Goddess Daenestra and their Brothers and Sisters of the faith. To that end, money is seen as useless, and pursuing wealth for the sake of wealth is seen as wicked.
Instead of coin, the theocracy relies on service for sustenance. To work is to eat. When a person reaches an age that is two years from adulthood for their race, they are sent to the Temple where they are allowed to choose a vocation from those available and within their ability to perform. The person then spends the next two years learning the vocation with those already performing it and while still residing in their parents' home. There are no schools in Volpae. Children are taught mathematics, to read, write and any other subjects only if their chosen vocation requires it. it is expected that children spend their innocent years as innocents, living in the Goddess' love and light.
The day the person reaches adulthood they are placed in their vocation and assigned a home, at which point their role is defined for the rest of their life. They perform their duties diligently and are provided for by the Temple. They are granted a regular stipend of that which is needed for daily life (food, clothing, and furniture for the home as their family grows.)
But there are limits to how well is well enough. There is little to no aristocracy in Volpae beyond the High Cleric and his immediate disciples, who are elevated in status only after proving their piety and achieving their ranks within the temple.
Further, there is no property ownership. The Temple owns all of the land and assigns it out for use based on need. Not even the clergy are allowed to own homes - let alone the beds they sleep in. They reside in the Temple, where they live in near-luxury but without the expectation of entitlement to anything they use.
There is also very little ability to grow in the private sector. Once assigned to a position, it is almost impossible to leave it. Only Clerics and Paladins have the ability to climb in rank, and it is exceptionally difficult to do so. Clerics and Paladins must pass extensive trials in order to raise their station. Roles of significant power are few in number. After all, in any family there can only be one eldest brother or sister. The responsibility to guide the rest of the siblings falls on few shoulders.
While this arrangement is set with the intent of treating all of Daenestra's children fairly and equally, it has proven historically to be precarious. To have excess is considered a sin, and so each year the entirety of the country's resources is assigned, leaving no stockpiles for future years which might have need. Years when the harvests are plentiful sees all of the Temple's followers healthy and hearty, where other years droughts or blights have brought about countless deaths. Yet the Temple will not yield in its belief of no excess. To withhold what is earned, regardless of the reason, is viewed as withholding Daenestra's blessings upon her children. It is not man who chooses the success of the harvests, it is the Goddess.
Most Volpaens are unaware of the ways of the world outside the boundaries of their theocracy. The temple prefers it this way. The Cerics believe the lands outside of Volpae are rife with greed, animosity and 'True Godlessness'. Such taint is unwelcome in their borders. For this reason, visitors are treated carefully and are almost never allowed to mingle unsupervised with the general public.
It is also common knowledge that Volpae views the elves of L'Appilia as heretics. A campaign was launched in the ages passed to bring the elves to the Goddess's Light when their influence was believed to have been expanding, but ultimately failed when the elves turned their wicked magics against Her Children. In the end Daenestra struck out at the most persistent of the elves and punished them for their sins, but could do no more. It was enough to hold the elves back from Volpae's borders, but the followers of Bringer of Light hold to their vow that someday they will save the elves from their pride and bring them to Daenestra's love. If they can do this, Daenestra's original heartbreak from before the age of men will truly be healed.
