Coronocentrism

A historically significant movement, Coronocentrism was the dominant philosophical and political mindset of Zoscia during the Kingdoms Era. Originally created by the Linorn Duke known as Sival, it became the subscribed ideology of his dynasty which had an extensive relationship with Corona and proclaimed themselves as the heralds of its vision. Contained primarily to the southern regions of the world, it began to spread with the invention of modern printing technologies and the increase in literate Coronans. Popular among the masses for its promises of peaceful prosperity and the nobility for its ample legitimacy as a casus belli; it exploded after the Empire of Oaldia recognized and began teaching it within universities and intellectual circles.

Coming to its conclusion in the Noble Wars, Coronocentrism was employed by countless ambitious nobles and warlords to make their claim at the greater world with Kolagah and Old Zoscia numbering among them. Ending in a decisive victory for the Linorn Dynasty, the original movement petered out after the fabled Black and White Kingdoms were formed and only further gained relevancy with the unified Kingdom of Zoscias formation. While the original philosophy is considered a retired classic, it is still taught within Coronan schools and the ideals it propagated have ingrained themselves within the modern culture.

## Historical Centrism

A mystic, political and philosophical movement, Historical Centrism was popular in almost all walks of society and relied upon the pillars of The Lights teachings and Corona to legitimize its claims. Created with the intention of bringing harmony to the world, Historical Centrism believed eternal peace would have never been achieved for Coronans unless a Kingdom for each respective color was established to bring balance to the world. While believing in a kingdom for Black and White Coronans, the Historical movement never excluded the other from living within their promised lands; racial supremacy was denounced and gained traction in predominantly hegemonic nations.

Ambitious monarchs were known to abuse the philosophy for their own ends and the only real authority over Historical Centrisms teachings were the Linorn Dynasty and the original book written by Sival detailing his philosophy. Coronan scholars point to this issue as being one of the many factors which pushed the general populace away from political efforts to centralize religious authority, Historical Centrism proving the flaws inherent in mortal interpretation. Used by priests in favor of decentralized authority, faith became only one of many feuding landscapes that Coronocentrism was prevalent within; the philosophy itself was fracturing between different interpretations which saw to usurp the original teachings, an issue which only grew more dire as the school of thought spread across Corona. Coming to a head with the collapse of Oaldia, the Noble Wars cemented the original teachings authority as its opponents were defeated in combat or exposed for hypocrisy.

Forging a legacy through its widespread practice among honorable warriors and warlords alike, Historical Centrism was depicted as a unifying school of thought that helped propel the Coronans closer to the stars. Used for good and ill, it suffered countless controversies and acclaim during its prime and is renown as the unwitting glue of modern Zoscian society; a fate in line with the original creators intentions. Proclaimed as a classic by modern philosophers, it has earned itself a permanent position within the Coronan academic world and the hearts of Coronas children.

## Modern Centrism

Unlike its predecessor, Modern Centrism is belligerent by nature and traces its origins back to the supremacist offshoots of the original movement. Subscribing to a unified Corona, Modern Centrism believes in the dominance of Black and White above all others and wishes to replace Rhyas soul with Coronas. Popular among primarily upper class nobles, it is an obscure school of thought which is denounced by Corona itself and the greater Kingdom. Harnessed by ambitious nobles to further their interests against xenos, Modern Centrisms traction derives from the inherent isolationist nature of Coronans and their differentiation from the rest of the galaxies inhabitants.

Nicknamed Red Centrism by opponents, it is widely believed that practitioners of Modern Centrism primarily originate from Queen Yirins court during the Succession War and participated in her rituals to the Maw. Considered illegal to consort with the Red Maw, most Modern Centrists conceal their beliefs so as to not risk investigation from Sajenki agents whether guilty or not. Despite this scrutiny, discussion and belief in the philosophy is not illegal in of itself and the freedom of speech in Zoscia prevents the ideology from fully going extinct. Allowed to participate in National forums and elections, Modern Centrism has carved out a measly following for itself that only survives through its high profile followers.
