The Omnium Theocracy

The Omnium Theocracy is a vast artificial plateau created by Uzhyr, spanning an area equivalent to one million galaxies, serving as a sanctuary for countless species under the divine rule of the Pantocrator. This monumental construct stands as the physical manifestation of Uzhyr's vision of perfect order, existing as a separate entity from the surrounding universe while maintaining its own laws and structures.

Origins and Foundation

The Theocracy's creation began after Morsvitae retreated to the Nemither with the corrupted Dark Pantheon. Uzhyr, weakened but determined, spent six billion years crafting this massive artificial realm. Unlike natural cosmic structures, the Theocracy exists as a single continuous plane, defying conventional physics through Uzhyr's divine will. The plateau's construction represented an unprecedented feat of divine engineering, with each district carefully designed to accommodate the diverse needs of its future inhabitants.

During its early days, the Theocracy served as a beacon of hope for species seeking stability in a chaotic universe. The foundation of this mighty realm was cemented through The Covenant of Sanctuary, a divine pact that all settling species must sign, pledging to maintain peace and order within the Theocracy's borders.

Governance and Structure

The Theocracy operates under a strict hierarchical system with Uzhyr, the Pantocrator, at its apex. Below him serve the Deipurae, his eleven divine children who oversee various aspects of the realm's function. The practical administration of the Theocracy is handled through multiple layers of authority, from the Lawwatch maintaining order to the various district governors managing their respective territories.

Each district within the Theocracy is carefully designed to mimic the natural environment of its inhabitant species, creating a patchwork of diverse biomes and environments across the plateau. This architectural marvel is maintained through a combination of divine power and advanced Elysian technology, ensuring each species can thrive in conditions similar to their homeworld.

Military Forces

The Theocracy's military might is primarily represented by the Messianic Legions, genetically enhanced warriors drawn from various species who serve as the realm's primary defensive force. These legions are supported by the Technate of Elysia, whose advanced weaponry and constructs form the backbone of the Theocracy's military capabilities.

The Void Battleforts serve as the Theocracy's supreme weapons of war, massive moon-sized fortresses capable of devastating entire regions of space. These mighty constructs work in concert with the Stellar Colossi, anthropomorphic machines of godlike proportion that represent the pinnacle of Elysian engineering.

Culture and Society

The Theocracy's society is built upon principles of order, devotion, and unity under Uzhyr's guidance. The Cult of the Pantocrator has emerged as a dominant religious force, particularly following Uzhyr's public manifestation during The Concordat. This religious movement has helped unite the diverse species of the Theocracy under a common faith.

Education and knowledge preservation play crucial roles in Theocratic society, with institutions like the Unshaped Athenaeum serving as repositories of wisdom from countless civilizations. The tragic destruction of many such repositories during the Razing of the Athenaeum has only strengthened the Theocracy's resolve to protect its cultural heritage.

Recent Developments

The outbreak of The War for Eternity has brought unprecedented challenges to the Theocracy. The emergence of blightzones and the constant threat of aberration incursions has forced significant military mobilization and societal adaptation. The creation of new defensive measures, including the nine divine bulwarks protecting Zyon, demonstrates the Theocracy's resilience in the face of cosmic threats.

The recent rise of Ashkaron from the transformed Vulkatan rebel Ran'kul has introduced new complications to the Theocracy's internal stability, particularly among the Vulkatan population. This event has led to increased scrutiny of ancient artifacts and relics within Theocratic territories.
