Glasya

## Glasyian Shadow Council

The Judicial and Legislative body is the High council of all things. Seated by the 'Rider Lords' who control the various regions and the local 'Rider Lord Councils'. This leads to a very minor level of regional autonomy and adds to the Illusion that the Shadow Hierophant holds less power then he truly does, as he often picks who sits on the Council with him.

## Religion

Religion is very important to the Culture of Glasya, even the name of the Country and its Land is named after Glasya, a Devil figure they view as something of a Mother Goddess, as well as her more traditional roles as the Princess of Hell, Lord of the Sixth, Queen of the Erinyes and Mistress of Sacred-Prostitution. Her clergy run the Country putting her at the forefront but the worship of other Devil figures is tolerated, especially the worship of her father Asmodeus and the veneration of her deceased mother Bensozia, often refereed to as St. Bensozia. The High Clergy of the other Devils beyond these are heavily monitored and their power suppressed.

The Only exception to this rule is the worship of Levistus, Whose worshippers are hunted and given the same treatment as Demon worshipers.

### Demon Hunting

Devils and Demons are long time enemies, seen as and indeed are the opposite expressions of each other, Devil's being Lawful Good and Demon's being Lawful Evil. The act of Demon Hunting and the Proficiency of Glasyian Demon Hunters was among the few things that stopped the 'Ethnic Clensing' of Glasyian Citizens and the surrounding countries eventually begrudgingly accepted that perhaps "Better the Devil you know then the Demon committing Arson."

A Particularly favorite target is those who worship or otherwise work for Malanthet.

## Currency

Glasya as a Nation uses pearls as currency rather than coins. The value of this currency changed according to several factors: the size of the pearl, measured from a standard of 0.25 inches (6.4 millimeters); its rarity; and quality. The value of a pearl was determined by its color:

* white pearl, or "seyar": 2 silver coins
* yellow pearl, or "hayar": 2 gold coins
* green pearl, or "tayar": 20 gold coins
* blue pearl, or "nuyar": 100 gold coins
* olive pearl, or "olmar", 7 inches (18 centimeters) long, 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) wide, and diamond-shaped: 2,000 gold coins

While not always seen as a valid form of 'Currency' due to, well human right issues and the general distaste for it in many countries, Glasya also has a rather strong National and International Slave Trade.
