A great number of statesmen and nobility also espouses chivalry as a way to tie the nation together with a set of positive moral values. It was thought that if the common voting populace and the upper classes could positively relate by a shared social contract founded in chivalric code, the divisions and violence of the First Constitution era could be avoided. Royal knights and common people worked together to create the Chivalric Caucus, the first political party in the country. The Chivalric Caucus was followed by the Feudalist Front and the Honorable Action Caucus, competing parties that sought similar influence. The Assembly passed several laws detailing the rights and limitations of political parties as a reaction to the brinksman-like rivalries that emerged between these new organizations.
Archbishop Hernandéz II of Giroruña was acclaimed and sanctified in 1730 by the Righteous Votive Conclave. Formerly a philosopher and Votive spiritual leader in his home city, Hernandéz II was sanctified after giving a lecture to the Conclave during annual ''charlas de jardín'' on the values of humility and service towards community instead of the established class hierarchy. He remains to this day the only Saint acclaimed during his lifetime. He is also the only Saint acclaimed with a unanimous decision by the Conclave, and the only Archbishop to not have sat on the Conclave. It is described in several histories that the Conclave was so moved by his speech that they agreed to postpone the ''charlas de jardín'' and hold a special session to sanctify Hernandéz II. The Votive Way underwent a series of changes in subsequent years that many scholars credit to many modern aspects of the spiritual system.

== Geography ==
Antora is situated on the south-eastern coast of [[Novaris]], covering most of the geo-social region known also as Antora. This region is characterized by large mountains and narrow river valleys in the west and north, which slowly give way to high-elevation hills and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escarpment escarpments] closer to the coast. In the south and east, the terrain is much flatter, with no mountain chains but the occasional high-elevation peak. There are several large bays and inlets, notably the Bahía de Cátras and the Bahía de Ostras.
The nation is bordered to the west by Mirhaime, and the north by Thalor. It shares a maritime border with [[Dvalheim]] and [[Ostrethia]] to the south.
