Divine marriage

Divine marriage was a concept in the pre-Alexandrine Kingdom of Sassyar, whereby siblings in the royal family would marry each other. In pre-Alexandrine pantheism, all royalty were respected as gods amongst men, leading to the belief that they should keep the bloodline pure. The act of divine marriage began with the Carian dynasty, though it is unknown how long before Cares I of Sassyar's marriage to his sister Vaneria the practice became prevalent.
