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.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, the Odessan royal family entered into a political/marriage alliance with the Flannari royals as a check on the Petaran Empire. Tennyson XII, Aden II, and Tennyson XIII of Odessa all took Flannari princesses as brides. The Flannari kings, likewise, married Odessan princesses. This tradition ended with Eloise's assumption of the Odessan throne after the Odessan Civil War. | |||
