Merifiana

A country located on the Uranian continent of Forimlesse, home to the Merifianan race, governed by a theocratic council known as the Pontificate.  The Merifianans are one of the two Changeling Races (the other Changeling Race is the Nemnebliari), and are gifted with the power to “transubstantiate” themselves into inanimate matter.  This supernatural ability gave rise to their entire religious faith.

Their church and their state have never known separate lives.  The major event of their history was the Schismatic War, an insurgence of heretics led by one of their own kind, named Turen; he and his followers were expelled from the country by King Samar, and now the descendants of those followers are the Nemnebliari race. After this War, the Merifianans would begin sending out missionaries to convert the Uranian Human tribes that would eventually become the modern-day Human nations.
