Gassavelian people: Difference between revisions

In [[Faramount]] and later [[Burgundie]] the Gassavelian expression of [[Catholicism]] was under much stricter review as the Princes of Faramount sought to establish their control and legitimacy. Since they relied on the defeat of the Protestants in the [[Great Confessional War]] as their ''raison d'etre'' they saw strict adherence to [[Catholicism]] as a central pillar to their reigns. Unlike many of the [[Maritime Derics]], the [[Principality of Faramount]] turned inward in the aftermath of the [[Great Confessional War]] and focused on the centralization of politics, religion, and culture, to define their Faramountesc identity. Trying to maintain their cultural uniqueness and not fall into the [[Urcea]]n sphere like those in the western portions of the [[Kingdom of Gassavelia]] they formed common cause with many of the other newly formed [[Catholic]] states, like the [[Duchy of Martilles]] and the [[Duchy of Bourgondi]]. These "new kids on the block" often felt belittled or dismissed by the states that pre-dated the [[Great Confessional War]] and, as such, formed closer bonds with each other.
