The Governing powers all rely on the Kingdoms and their lordships, the Kings and Queens. Only those born within or well connected enough to become a citizen can live or enter into the capitals. The remaining people outside the walls of the lands are under serfdom. These people who farm and feed the people within the cities are known as Nomads. They reside outside as farmers living off the land and harvesting many crops under the control of their lords. However they do at times move from place to place, still under the rule of whomever lands they reside. Two additional hindrances on the nomads are the dragons and the bandits. Both want nothing more but to feed off of them. This makes the protection from the Kingdoms appealing. While still life within the cities are safe and plentiful.

The Kings and Queens are the main authorities of power. But like gods they are only considered seeking if the interpretation of their discernment is not replicated by the high judges appointed by them. These judges are either relatives or other high bred families with close ties to the current Kings & Queens. As such they receive a form of diplomatic immunity. Each citizen is given rights to see a judge and go through trial. Those outside the lands are free game even if their slaying are well known. The only ones who live within the cities are the slaves of a citizen and these slaves have no rights.

Underneath the high judges are those with family or friendly ties to the high judges or the kings & queens. They are received as royalty and receive a form of diplomatic immunity themselves. Though blatant harm of a citizen is still punishable by death. This is why many of these ilk are inclined to perform in important roles. High commanders, royal tamers/ slavers, treasurers, diplomats, and more. This extra net of importance allows even more over look of their wrong doings.

The remaining powers are the enforcers and those with other important tasks. The guards and soldiers are the enforcers and every kingdom has them. The mystics, spies/ informants, assassins, elite & royal trainers and more are people with important tasks who are considered higher than your average citizen. Though no citizen is beneath many slaves. There are only the slaves of the arenas that get recognition enough to become more important than a citizen. Though these cases are rare and short lived.

The existence of god is not a matter of does a entity exist that is almighty and just. It is whether it is mighty beyond their combined abilities and cares for them. To this belief he does exist. The ideal for an almighty God is not known to most of them, nor one that is all good. Instead they want only a god who exists eternally who will watch, protect and look after all of their interests. This provides a sense of altruism among all descended.

The branches of beliefs are as such. Most of those of the anthropomorphic form and all of those who are dragons among descended believe in a eternal dragon and that the dragon lords of before were eternal gods that live elsewhere now. This eternal dragon however exists and has always existed within the planet and is the nourishing force behind their souls and the powers they wield. Those who die and do not ascend return to the dragon to nourish it for reproducing a new life.

The descended believe that the seraphim is their god. He looks after them from afar in many different ways. However his presence is within each of their souls allowing them to do manipulations and manifestations. They consider that they all ascend in some way or another. Those who do not return however are taken by the seraphim to his kingdom in the heavens above. Though many pick and choose which are worthy of ascension, and those who do not get to his kingdom are taken by a hungry dark spirit that resides in the shadows.

There are those who follow the belief that the blood of a seraphim grants power beyond that of their god. That there can be a way for new gods to form through this. By combining blood and harnessing the inner most power of the soul one can ascend without dying. These believers are secretive. These people are all members of the Therosi. A silent but terrible faction growing into a cult and perhaps if they are right a god hood.
