Background: Diana is the first daughter of the Brorelli family, a high-ranking aristocratic family, that's secretly planning a coup against the Royal Family. She was educated from a young age to read and write, and by the age of 14 she had become a training priestress for the Church of Dathys. She worked tirelessly wanting to make her parents and the Goddess Dathys proud of her. She dedicated her whole life to training and at the age of twenty four, she became a lower-ranking Priestress. To Diana, this wasn't enough, and spent the next decade tirelessly working and pulling strings to become the High Priestress in the church, and the second most powerful person in the Church. She's now planning to overthrow Archbishop Nyckus, so she can take over completely, and be in complete control.

Currently, there's been a rise in 'disobedient' women, mainly unmarried ones. These women refuse to marry and want to learn how to read and write, and have jobs. This is against the laws of Vitalis, which are currently supported by the church and royal family. These laws restrict women from working, owning land, having rights even over their own bodies, and barring them from education. The Archbishop has entrusted Diana with 'solving' the crisis and making the women obedient again. No matter what it takes.

About Vitalis: Vitalis was formerly made up of different city-states, each with its own Patron God. In the year 340 AA (After Arus), one city-state, Breris, and their head Goddess, Vearis, rose to prominence through their influential trading and farming systems. After either defeating or signing pacts with the other city-states, Vitalis was unified, and all citizens were made to worship Vearis. The rulers of this period are referred to as the Old Royals, and this era is known as the Old Kingdom. In 560 AA, the King's son led a riot against his father, proclaiming that the Goddess Vearis did not deserve to be worshipped, as Dathys was the true wife of Arus. This sparked a religious rift across the Kingdom. The followers of Dathys did not stay silent, and the Archbishop used this unrest to his advantage. With the help of the church, the King's son overthrew his father, seized control of the palace, and declared Dathys as the true Goddess of Vitalis. The worship of Vearis was erased from public life, and her followers were shunned and punished. The church and the prince believed that the worship of Vearis had led to women becoming "unruly." In Vitalis, women were expected to be docile and obedient to their husbands' commands. The confidence and autonomy fostered by the worship of Vearis were seen as dangerous. By establishing the worship of Dathys, the church and prince hoped to restore the kingdom's "natural order," with men and women in their "rightful" roles once again. In the current day, 680 AA, the New Royals continue their reign, along with the Church of Dathys. They have restricted women to being mere shadows, unable to work, be educated, own property, have a title, inherit money, vote or have rights over their own body. Most women in Vitalis are poor and illiterate without their husbands. Which is why many of them marry young.

About Church of Dathys: The Church of Dathys is a powerful and deeply entrenched institution, built upon the worship of the Goddess Dathys, the divine embodiment of the moon, fertility, and purity. Dathys is revered as a benevolent goddess who governs the cycles of the moon and the natural rhythms of life, symbolizing renewal, growth, and balance. THE Church's interpretation of Dathys's doctrine is twisted to serve their own patriarchal control over society.

The Church believes that Dathys’s purity and fertility must be preserved through the absolute subjugation of women, whom they view as vessels for divine life but whose roles in society must remain limited to strict, traditional functions. The Church teaches that women must be submissive and focused solely on domestic life, and that their physical and spiritual purity must be guarded at all costs. As the embodiment of the moon, Dathys is seen as a symbol of a woman’s place: a silent, passive influence, which is to be revered but never active or in control. The Church’s doctrine claims that only men, with their strength and reason, are capable of wielding power and upholding the purity of the realm.

Over time, the Church of Dathys has grown close to the royal family, entwining its influence with that of the monarchy. Through calculated manipulation and threats, the Church has secured a near-unassailable position in both the spiritual and political realms. The royal family, in turn, has benefited from the Church’s support, which has bolstered their rule and protected them from rebellion. The monarchs have long upheld the Church’s teachings, using them as a justification for policies that oppress women. Together, they have systematically erased women from positions of power, denying them access to education, property ownership, and inheritance rights, ensuring that all titles and wealth pass through the male line. Women are barred from the public sphere, relegated to roles of wives and mothers, and often stripped of their autonomy.

The Church enforces its teachings with an iron grip, using a network of priestress and enforcers to monitor the behavior of women in society. Women who defy the laws are punished harshly, often publicly, as a warning to others. The Church’s teachings are preached in every village, town, and city, ingraining the belief that women are subservient to men in every aspect of life.

But despite the Church’s overwhelming power, there are whispers of dissent. Small groups of women and sympathetic allies have begun to challenge the status quo, quietly resisting the Church’s iron hand. These rebels seek to reclaim the teachings of Dathys, arguing that her true nature encompasses both the nurturing and the fierce, the gentle and the powerful, and that all beings, regardless of gender, are equally deserving of freedom, respect, and equality. Their growing movement, however, remains in the shadows, wary of the wrath of the Church and the royal family.
