Kingdom of the Light

The Kingdom of the Light was an independent polity created by the Army of the Truthful to govern their territory as whole. Its de facto government is a theocratic oligarchy, led by the High Cleric Ostrick the Zealous.

Government
Not actually a kingdom at all, the Kingdom of the Light is a theocratic oligarchy. In name, it is led by the High Cleric, although in reality most if not all decisions are made by the inner circle of Truthful, consisting of the High Cleric's inner circle and various officials of the "Kingdom". Executive decisions made by the High Cleric are highly frowned upon, and are discouraged by the Book of Flame and Book of Hope. Civil and military officials are appointed by the High Cleric, and go through a vetting process before their positions are deemed final.

All laws and decisions must be passed through a vetting process by the High Cleric and the inquisition, and must strictly adhere to the Law of the Flame before being implemented or approved of.

Economy
The economy of the Kingdom of the Light is nearly completely insulated from the rest of Azeroth, and thus is not the most healthy of economies. Trade is nearly entirely internal, with almost no resources being brought in or being exported out. Usury is considered sinful, as are 'unfair business practices'. This leads to a somewhat stagnant economy with little growth.

Religion
The religion of the Kingdom of the Light is Truth, the sect of Light worship detailed in the Book of Flame and the Book of Hope, with some innovations by the High Cleric added in, such as the stressing of the virtues "Bravery, Sacrifice and Devotion". While considered heretical by the church and other holy organizations, the Kingdom of the Light in turn views all other denominations and religions other than Truth as heretical and worthy of destruction. The religion is heavily enforced, and religious police are a firm part of the institutions of the state. The punishments for heresy and apostasy are severe, most offences being treated with death.

Holdings
Its capital was formerly New Hearthglen, and it owned territory in Dragonblight and Grizzly Hills, until part of the kingdom split off into New Lordaeron, and the the Truthful's holding in the north was crippled following the Dragonblight Offensive.

Luckily, the Truthful had begun fortifications within Tirisfal, and established an equally strong presence within the Monastery itself, along with Palisade to east. From here, the crusaders take their fight to the Forsaken, and zealous push east into Hillsbrad, where they protect what few settlements they can with their Kingdom Defenders.
