The Divine Kingdom of Cildania was formed in 1806 when Prince Gildas Kilian of Aqildar dissolved the Council of Princes and declared himself Divine King of Cildania (HaMelek HaʾIilohi shel Qildar), with the Patriarch's consent and the support of the Princes of Kinaan, Gilzon and Jilrit, and the representative of the Free Cities. Prince Jugurtha of Aheblun, however, did not support Gildas, and disputed his authority and that of the Patriarch. Tensions culminated in Jugurtha declared himself Hebileean Patriarch-Prince, consolidating both roles, and seceding from the Divine Kingdom. Prince Jugurtha raised an army to assert his independence, and the thirty year War of Unification (1806-1836) ensued. Gildas Kilian did not see war through to its conclusion, dying shortly before the capture of the Hebilean capital of Santa Alessandra, and the slaying of Jugurtha on the battlefield by Gildas' son and successor, Mazandarand. Nevertheless, as founder of the Kilian dynasty and the Divine Kingdom, Gildas Kilian became known posthumously as Divine King Gildas the Great, and is considered a great national hero of the Qildari people. Divine King Mazandarand subsequently unified and pacified Cildania under his rule.

In a gesture of reconciliation, Divine King Mazandarand allowed Jugurtha's descendants to live, though they were barred from politics. Moreover, the House of Kilian retained the title of Prince of Aheblun until the dissolution of the Divine Kingdom in 1960. The contemporary Princely House of Elkan claims descent from Prince Jugurtha, whose attempts at preserving Aheblun's independence have made him a national hero for the Hebilean people, respect which is often extended to his bloodline.

The Divine Kingdom was as a caesaropapist state, whereby the Apostolic Department of Cildania (precursor to the modern Apostolic Church of the Isles) was entirely subordinate to the Divine King. After the rule of X the Tyrant, the Council of the Princes was reestablished in 1895 to curb the power of the Divine King. In 1900, the Council of Princes convened Cildania's first parliament. In 1926, Divine King Bostar, under pressure from the emboldened Council of Princes, agreed to transform the monarchy from a hereditary one to an elective one, with the Council of Princes serving as candidates and electors. Bostar subsequently abdicated the throne, while he and his successors boycotted the elections, asserting the sole right of the House of Kilian to the throne. The Divine Kingdom would see three elected Divine Kings from the House of Ashtzaph and the House of Gisconian, before Sascaria would be elected in 1948, once again returning the throne to the House of Kilian. However, Sascaria's reign was a period of lawlessness and revolutionary fevour which ultimately saw the unraveling of the monarchy and the Divine Kingdom, which would last as an elected constitutional monarchy until 1960. The Divine Kingdom was succeeded by the First Republic of Cildania following the abdication of Sascaria.
