Bishopric of Slopewicc

The Bishopric of Slopewicc was an ecclesiastic nation under the rulership of a bishop and under protection from Velincant.

History
The Bishopric of Slopewicc was founded in 429 S.A when the second wave of Stúnicmen settled the Velinath. For most of its history it was part of the Thegndom of Velincant

Independence
When the Nithilvir came Slopewicc was the only settlement to resist their rule after the signing of the Northern Law in 88 T.A. Thusly, they were removed from all affairs to do with Velincant and were granted full independence.

Slopewicc Decree
In 172 T.A, however, the Slopewicc Decree was enacted by Velincant, placing sovereign protection over the bishopric and including it into the Ecclesiastical Council.

Etymology
The name comes the Stúnic word slope, meaning ("Slope") and the toponymical word -wicc, meaning ("settlement").
