Beyond the noble houses, the only other significant power broker in Flannary is the [[Alexandrian Church|clergy]], and the [[Regional_Episcopacy|regional episcopacies]] of Flannary are uniformly wealthy and powerful. As the Veromii line, through Hadrian Ubrekt, are [[Divine Blooded]], the Emperor of Flannary has always claimed to rule by divine right, and thus has always maintained a close relationship with religious authority. While the Church owns little in terms of land, it has wielded its considerable social power to acquire significant wealth, especially through [[Monopoly of the Vices]]. Noble houses are all expected to employ a large number of religious consultants, tutors, and ministers, and host for a large number of elaborate ceremonies on their lands, which is easily accomplished, as almost all instruction is conducted through religious institutions, up through the [[University of Flannary]], which was officially given over to the [[Flannari Episocpacy]] in 212 [[FI]]. Virtually all nobles are expected to educate their children (and pay tuition) at this university. | Beyond the noble houses, the only other significant power broker in Flannary is the [[Alexandrian Church|clergy]], and the [[Regional_Episcopacy|regional episcopacies]] of Flannary are uniformly wealthy and powerful.
