INTRODUCTION:
Background - Talsiny became a nation-state one hundred and five years prior when the local bishops of several regional states united under Cardinal Benito Emmanuel to organize a united defense against outside threats. This coalition grew stronger and encompassed more and more of the day-to-day governmental affairs of the individual states. Most governmental decisions were made by the five-member Bishops' Council and headed by the current Cardinal. The ogliarchy was disposed this past May when Cardinal Eduardo Moscinom was accused of murdering a popular businessman some years prior. A successful coup ousted the disgraced Cardinal and put child-king, Zenith Nausikaa Ganderfald, in charge of the Bishops' Council.
