The Seleucid Empire, also known as the Empire of Seleucia and Babelon, was a successor state that existed from 312 BC to 419 AD after the Macedonnan Empire formed by Alexandros the Great split apart. It was ruled by the Seleucid Dynasty, with Seleucus I Callinicus as its founder.

Influence on Yggdism

Aside from Dath'Remar, the Seleucids have left a significant impact on the Yggdist religion. Due to their cordialness towards the Darscens, their wars against the Valkyrur, and their desire for obtaining the powers of the Valkyrur, its belief system and texts have condemned them for the aforementioned, and are branded as an evil empire. Quite similar to Dath'Remar, several of the celebrated monarchs, which are Seleucus IX, Seleucus XI, Anacletus XII, Seleucus XII, Philoxenus II and their descendants have been portrayed as devils in the flesh, with the first being the original and worst. Being that they have beared the Staff of Seleucus, this inheritance has been used to certify and justify their portrayals as enemies of the Valkyrur.

An epistle by one of the Yggdist practitioners, Thellos Quietspell, describes this concisely in the introduction:

In our faith, there were three great enemies of the Valkyrur: the Darscens, the Dath'Remarids, and the Seleucids. And from these enemies, there were three great devils that dared to challenge their divine place: Menashe ben Aviram, Dath'Remar, and Seleucus Anicetus.

— Thellos Quietspell, Valkyrur Epistle IV, Verses 3 and 4

Moreover, the derogatory term "seleucid" has been derived from the Empire and dynasty's name and has been used against those that denounce the divinity of the Valkyrur and have associated with or assisted Darscens. It's usage was first recorded in the 9th Century, when Yggdism began to spread throughout Europa.
