Temple Fiefdom

The Temple fiefdom was a legal system created by the Tirenneon Pact in 566, enowing the Astercian Cloister with the authority to issue landed estates to secular nobility - nominally as vassals to the "King of Leos". As the kingdom itself was symbolic, the Lord Templar of the Cloister ruled as the de facto king instead, following historical precedents established during the Reign of the Templars. The fiefdom originally was organized into nine Arch-Duchy Estates (Greater Aeos, Lesser Aeos, Fiara, Sileas, Piran, Trinic, Dyaf, Salgrom, and Syrmedia), and two Royal Estates (The City of Leos and The Enclave of Irbos).

Following the model of the Templar States, it adapted the Echyan practice of feudal vassalage to institutions with preexisting legitimacy among the Astercian lords, allowing them to preserve their dominance over western Ardea for nearly two centuries. The system saw continued use until The King's War, when the unprecedented scale of political upheaval lead to its rapid decline, leaving it as little more than a diplomatic ritual by the ninth century.
