<h3>The Concalian Empire</h3>
<h2>The Concalian Empire</h2>
<p>The Concalian Empire was a vast, highly militaristic, highly sophisticated, and highly religious multi-ethnic nation that for centuries controlled most of the southern half of <a href="https://wiki.strixhab.net/en/HBW/Eirus/Eirus">Eirus</a>. They were seen as warlike, expansionistic, and prideful - but were most widely known for their unmatched ability to create large quantities of highly sophisticated construct soldiers. While it enjoyed a position among the primary powers around the <a href="https://wiki.strixhab.net/en/HBW/The-Wayfarer's-Sea/The-Wayfarer's-Sea">Wayfarer's Sea</a> for much of its existence, the empire came to an abrupt end shortly after <a href="https://wiki.strixhab.net/en/HBW/History/Year-0-The-Great-Disaster">The Great Disaster</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Governance</h3>
<p>The Concalian empire acted as pseudo-democratic society, with governance and lawmaking being divided among three bodies – the Centuriate Assembly, the Senate, and the Magistrates. The Clergy in addition had an advisory role to all three bodies, bringing whose role was to convey the will of the gods.</p>
<h1>Governance</h1>
<p>The Concalian empire acted as pseudo-democratic society, with governance and lawmaking being divided among three bodies – the Centuriate Assembly, the Senate, and the Magistrates. The Clergy in addition had an advisory role to all three bodies, bringing whose role was to convey the will of the gods. The Clergy thus acted as a 4th pillar of governance, holding a lot of soft power due to the empire's deeply religious nature, and the difficulties the other three bodies could experience if the citizenry viewed their decrees as going against the will of the gods.</p>
<h2>The Centuriate Assembly</h2>
<p>The Centuriate Assembly acted as a forum in which anyone that held a military or public service position, be that they held it currently, or had in the past. Their function was to vote on laws, laid forth by the Senate. They also voted for candidates for the different Magister positions, with the list of candidates also being laid forth by the Senate. Laws enacted by the Centuriate Assembly acted as as the foundation of Concalian law, that could only be repealed through another vote by the Centuriate Assembly.</p>
<h2>The Magistrates</h2>
<p>The Magistrates were the elected government officials of Concalia. It was their job to run and govern some portion of the Concalian Empire. They held some authority in determining taxes and legislations, but could never make a decree that went against a law voted in by the Centuriate Assembly.</p>

<h5>OLD:</h5>
<p>The Concalian Empire was ruled through 4 pillars of governance: The Centuriate Assembly, the Magistrates, the Senate, and the Clergy. While these 4 pillars of government were meant to work in tandem, complementing one another, it was not uncommon for there to be secret and sometimes violent bickering and rivalries both between and within each of the pillars. It was also not uncommon for those already in power to “quietly get rid of" up-and-comers who became too famous and popular with the populace.</p>
