Lair Members (include the name followed by the character they are playing):

We have 100+ people in our Discord server, but I do not have a good pulse on who still plays here. I will rely on people replying to this thread with their character and username to see who is still active and interested if that is OK with staff.

Proposed Lair Locations (Highlight/draw at least three on the map):

Choice #1 - Archipelago 

Choice #2 - Sand Island

Choice #3 - Small Island, Pirate Ship Haven

Lair Lore (supply link to an existing creature or other lore if being used as basis for this lair) (1000 words minimum): 

There is much more than this from the current era of the Republic. I would ask anyone replying with their character's intent to join, to also link their favorite Salvian forum topic!

Lair Build and Infrastructure (photos required, give dimensions):'

If we have any chance at getting a lair (waiting for staff to confirm before spending money commissioning a builder), we will have a small star fort and then most of our build will be an underground bunker.

Why can this group not fulfill their roleplay niche in an existing settlement or nation? (Give a detailed answer and examples of how this has not worked in the past.):

We have been warclaimed out of existence. Nobody will take us. We are ready to fight more, so if we get warclaimed again, we want a chance to die fighting. That being said, we want peace; we want to hide and do our roleplay. Trying to take the Salvian people group into hiding and exile. We would be a secret fortress just trying to live under the radar and avoid conflict.

How does this lair add to the greater world around it? How will its existence benefit its roleplay group and the server at-large?:

Salvo offers a niche that is not really fulfilled: a true Republic. For people interested in this type of roleplay, we do not have anywhere to go. We are nationless, settlementless, lairless. Given the power of the Empire and its ability to delete any roleplay it dislikes, we are going into hiding as a lair. We will benefit the server by offering serious Republic roleplay and fulfilling a niche that nobody else does. Expect elections, drama, assassinations, civil wars, etcetera. Given the chance, we will happily grow and become something worth remembering, but given the domination that the Empire presently has over the server, we have no choice but to start off as a hidden lair that can evade the Empire via hiding.

We are always up to something, though it was getting more quiet with war around the corner since that limited our interaction with all the other various communities greatly.

Now time for the lore drop (I recommend reading the culture document down below as it explains the basic ongoings)

The creation of Cerulia can be traced all the way back to Sutica, where very few still remain, where its fall then ended up creating The Silver Lubba company led by Mika Goldhand with some success during the golden age of mercenary companies (https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/209167-when-the-paper-doesnt-hold/)
(https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/209166-sutican-might-eternal/)

With this established company first formed in the ruins of the Osser estate in former Sutican lands, they eventually got a hold on Urguan territory where they made their very own outpost to operate from and steadily got a few contracts from the various powers, though the only one well documented was the hiring of The Silver Lubba Band by Ivarielle who sought to conquer Haelun’or. 

As time passed, the need for mercenaries slowly faded away and The Silver Lubba Band started to grow out their outpost to become a proper vassal under the dwarves, taking in groups and vassals of their own on their small plot of land. Here in Lubba’s Keep the mercenary company grew to become their own people and established well enough relations, coffers and citizenry to set out to form Lurin.

Lurin during Almaris was everything it should ever have been, a settlement away from major conflict and population hubs where it starts to thrive in benign neglect, taking in people and groups from the various corners of the realm while having their own adventures such as sending out parties to deal with hostage situations, dealing with darkspawn on their doorstep on a frequent basis and starting to form their own more well established culture.

With the arrival of the end of Almaris, the balance of the realm shifted as it bit off more than it could chew on Aevos, outgrowing its own purpose as it was forced to keep up with its neighbours. During this time of strife they ended up being one of the main members of the eastern alliance block named the CCC to maintain a semblance of balance within the east to aid its likeminded allies. Though this balance was quickly shattered with the leave of Mika Anarion from the throne, who wished to retire and gave himself as a final act as ruler a plot of land he named Cerulia.

From here Lurin started to crumble with external pressure and Cerulia remained mostly uninvolved with its politics as the Marq of Cerulia wished to stay retired. At the eventual conquest of Lurin, Mika’s earlier ties to Ivarielle and Celia’nor helped Cerulia to be re-established under Celia’nor where it once more was able to live its days out in peace as a massive fortress in the north. 

Though once more, not for long, as Celia’nor was hit with internal and external strife where it ended in a split of Celia’nor lands, of which, Cerulia ended up under Urguan rule once more. With Urguan as their new overlord, benign neglect started to set in once more, the fort started to grow and continued to house more and more people and eventually expanded to its prime on Aevos. 

Cerulia was not spared by the mountain and forced to go on as refugees once more, deciding to stay under Urguan to go along towards Azuras where an early Cerulia started to become a large hub for population, commerce and saw a shift in culture once more where traditions became more well established and cultural unity started to form.

Cerulia in due time started to grow as much as it did without expanding its borders, effectively becoming a city that was more densely populated than some capitals, though with this came its own set of challenges, which it had overcome until the very last one, war.

During this time of war they had an initial vigor to stay where they are, to defend their homes. Though battle after battle wore down its spirit, cutting a deal with imperials, though nobody is too sure how this deal went as the city that was once bustling with people had been razed to the ground without a trace left of it and vagueness surrounding the deal made it all the harder to trace back.

Now the Cerulites are wandering once more, hoping to settle where benign neglect may take over once more.
 

Government Structure Explanation:

The document of general government:

Succession if that ever happens:

The document of general laws:

https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/263168-the-codex-of-cerulute-law/

The Government Tldr:

The Marq Rules, the Council aids in the rule by overseeing a branch of government, those under the council each have their own tasks. The nobility is earned by one person and not the family, high nobility is council members, descendants of the marq or those who hold direct influence over the policy of the city. Low nobility are people who have sway in the city such as leaders within departments of family heads.

The main departments of the government are:

-Military
-Magic
-Knowledge
-Culture
-Stewards
-Industry
-Medicine

Though the ones necessary to make the city function regularly would be Military, Stewards and Culture.

The gist of the laws are:

Please just don’t mess with people more than you have to with a side of some funky rights you have such as embracing absolute freedom or working your debt away.

Capital / Settlement Build Concepts (photos of assets / layout / inspiration required):

I may or may not have world downloaded this part of the map just to mess around with building and ended up making a city on my own with the bit of free time I had with some help from community members

The inspiration is a continuation of Cerulia, though we are advancing the build style slightly each build, which stems all the way back from the Sutican build style in Arcas, then getting influenced by dwarven architecture in Almaris and is its own thing now

Though this time we learned, minimal underground shenanigans to make the city a little less laggy

How does this realm/settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing group on the server?:

It will corner the niche of unrestrictedly letting your character be who they wish to be, where there is unity in freedom. It does have its own little culture going on which shines different lights on certain matters such as a meritocratic system for nobility, constructs being able to get rights and ultimately it ends up being the melting pot of different cultures from the various clans, families, groups and people that reside within it. 

Culturally this settlement will always end up feeling much more different than what the average city on LOTC will feel like as proven by the people just calling everything done by the community odd. Though that is exactly what a different culture should feel like, strange to someone outside of it as it is different from what they are used to.

Attempts have been made to try to make this niche exist under a nation as a vassal, but oftentimes the thought of benign neglect irks those who wish to take in our group. Often met with demands that will effectively destroy the niche that is occupied by this settlement. This settlement could not exist under other nations as of this moment unless they wish to bend their own narrative.

It will fill the void of the missing multi racial nation, though I would not want to grow further than a settlement as it would harm my mental health more than lotc during covid did. 

How does your realm/settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?:

Its to be existence is a continued journey of a community that has been on the move for the past few years, naturally it manifests in different shapes and forms from a nation to a mercenary band to a settlement with each part having their own story that has taken place.  A cycle that does not stop as the people of this group continue to go forth regardless of any hardships they have faced and change because of it.

Most of these people pick up knowledge along the way, in the most literal sense such as adding books to the library that continues to grow with time and gets moved with every iteration of this group. Though also in a more lore tied sense such as magics, alchemy recipes and other feats that one could obtain on the server, there is bound to be someone in the community who has some information on it. This has allowed previous iterations to be a pool of knowledge for other communities to tap into if they desire to do so if they are willing to put up with the idea of it. Most within the community are those who wish to spread the knowledge around and make sure that other characters can enjoy using the lore.

In the end it is a community that roams around and settles wherever possible as long as they can live in peace, though this does not mean that the community is closed. People will have a fair chance at experiencing what the general ongoings are within the group and are often free to interact with their character as long it is within reason and with good intent. 

I wish for it to be a place at the edge of the world where people can gather and be at home as I will be real with you and this is just an oversized project of my character needing to be put into a retirement home, but every single one he builds gets busted down and it is the funniest tragedy I can imagine happening to someone.

I can expand more, but ultimately I just send the culture document to anyone who asks and I will explain how every written word became a thing through roleplay interactions.

Have you ever run a realm/settlement on LotC before and what experience does your group have with leadership within roleplay communities?

Yes. From Sutica to Lubba’s Keep to Lurin to Cerulia.

I vouch for the competence of those I have assigned on the council, they have basically led the city with me as figurehead for the majority of the map.

Do you understand the metrics for upkeep, maintaining activity, and the grounds for realm/settlement removal?

Of course I do, I was there in the feedback team and have read it over quite a few times :)

Settlement Lore:

At the advent of the fall of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, the Frostbeards gathered what they could muster, and set forth out onto the ocean expanse out of their cove. They sought for far off lands, in frigid tones. For the berserkers, only a land of freezing temperatures and chilled rain could cool their bleeding hearts, as the Rimeglen beckoned them into quiet isolation. 

Korod'Azwyr, or Grimfrost, is a secret settlement hidden at the very north of the map, veiled under sheets of snow. Carven into the mountainside, a inconspicuous site burgeoned, a culmination of IRP years of settlement roleplay for the area by it's settlers, the Frostbeards, alongside the Cult of Wyrvun. Robbed of their once-Grand home, Korod'Azwyr stands as a refuge for these lost Sons of Kaz'Ulrah, persecuted in both race, religion and politics. Verily so, the duties and works that lie in the hands of the settlers of the hold prevent them from stirring their inflamed hearts, their busywork preventing them from casting their lives away in vainglory as they might try to avenge their fallen kin.

Requiring the same, if not greater secrecy, the settlement harbors a burgeoning cult of blood ritualists, fervently known as the Cult of Wyrvun, a wise congregation of clandestine monks who hone both their mind and bodies in service of their god, guarding the wintry lands.

The vast majority of the lore (and it's 1000+ words requirement) can be found below:

Settlement Governmental Structure:

The governing body of the settlement of Korod'Azwyr is simple, and clean.

At the head of it's rule is the Jarl, a singular leader not appointed by vote, but appointed by the Frostbeard Clan Elders. The Jarl is responsible for leading the settlement and ensuring it's perseverance, going to great lengths to maintain it's secrecy. Below the Jarl stands the Council. On this council sits 2 figures; the Clan Father of the Frostbeards, and the Speaker of the Squall from the Cult of Wyrvun. Both have equal say on the matters at hand, with their wisdom being birthed in different facets of life. On the side of the Clan Father, Clan Elders rule under him, giving guidance to Beardlings and Longbeards of the clan, as well as any whom take shelter within their hold. On the side of the Speaker of the Squall, a line of order stands with Dragonpriests, Redeemers, Acolytes and Aspirants all following the rule of those above them. 

As a separate entity stands the Frostbeard Clan, given a noble status within the settlement as it's founders, and the main body of the settlement's population. They are subservient to the Jarl and the Council, but less on a legal basis, and moreso on a social basis. No law binds them to the hold, only their duty to ensure the livelihood of their proud people and those that shelter within their stone halls.

How does this realm/settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing group on the server?

The Frostbeards have been a part of the sever since 2011. In that time, an enormous amount of roleplay and storytelling as been fostered from this clan, all the way back in Aegis to now. The Settlement's existence will allow the Frostbeards to continue on, and the server at large shall benefit from having a remaining vestige of loyalist dwarves existing on the server, creating more intense dynamics in the plot of the future.

Also, the Cult of Wyrvun adds a new take on the classic faith of Wyrvun, in a way that has never been done on the server yet, in which the Settlements enables to take place. Beyond the cultist rituals and worship for those involved, outside of the group lies much interaction. Such includes the self-given role of protectors of the Rimeglen and all frozen lands by the Cult, interacting with all who may wander into those lands. As well, any who seek out the group may trek far into the deep winter wastes, ascending dangerous mountains and braving battering winds to beseech these sequestered cultists for their wisdom and virtue.

Have you ever run a realm/settlement on LotC before and what experiences does your group have with leadership within Roleplaye communities?

I am the leader of the Frostbeards, running about 15 players. I have experience through this role with hosting events, guiding new players to the server, onboarding new members of our group, integrating our playerbase into our lore, and maintaining the lore of our group. Many within our group have been past NL's of old dwarven groups like Kaz'Ulrah and the Fourth Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

Do you understand the metrics for upkeep, maintaining activity, and the grounds for Settlement Removal? 

Yes.

Proposed Lair Locations (Highlight/draw at least three on the map):

Palm Island (Being jungle terrain and after talks with the Veilward, we think it suits the Kharajyr both historically as the natural habitat of their creation and politically as an isolated area from the world).

Western Rim (Seperated from the rest of the world via the western mountain rim, it suits Kharajyr wishes to be left alone).

Dark Woods (If chosen to go here, the Kharajyr would be using the woods to stay hidden from nearby imperial forces as they promote a fear driven martial culture).

Lair Lore (supply link to an existing creature or other lore if being used as basis for this lair) (1000 words minimum):

Blood and Souls. The flesh and the spirit. Since the very creation of the supposedly perfect race, these two concepts had been at the core of the Kharahatlan identity. The perfect form of Tla’Jhaan, hand crafted by the Moon Mother herself. Immortal in concept more so than even in form, stark white fur containing a spirit altered and touched upon by the Daemon of Time, it was with the creation of the First that these values were imprinted upon Her children.

Blood and Souls. It was a warped concept nowadays, amongst the Children of the Moon. Replacing once a towering empire of faith and community now were a broken people, a scattered people, abused and violated in spirit and body by the world about them. Blood spilt by those that stole their home. Souls dragged screaming down into the maw of the Arch-Thief, unless bound to that of an entity that wished only to use them, knowingly or not, as the corpse of their goddess was left a screeching and mutilated thing. 

Blood and Souls. Centuries of genocide upon their people. A culture broken, enslaved, and stamped out with the cruel passage of time and the clink of coin for pelts. Their bodies skinned, their rituals and traditions dying with Elders too tired of the slaughter to pass on their lessons. To be born a Kharajyr was to be born hated, your first experience the pain over the heart that all your kind share since Metztli’s demise, knowing you were alone in a world you were never meant to be. 

Blood and Souls. A noble people once, now playing in the arts of the vampiric and naming themselves the Masters of such a thing, snarling in arrogance and wounded pride. Souls, as pacts were made to lying entities in the name of a hope that never truly existed. All in the name of a future for their people, as yet again Blood was spilt as their allies turn upon them, and Souls are desperately dragged back to the realm of the living, spared from a fate worse than death.

It is the halls of Hualtepetl themselves that were built with the Blood of broken pacts, and amidst those bright colours celebrating a history forgotten to all but a few of their kin, the Souls of dead that never once lived in a time that would let them understand wander. No dark citadel, the Home of Rebirth is just that. Half remembered stories fill the walls, rituals that no longer work are taught to cubs as games instead of grave ceremonies, and bright colours splash the walls simply because an older Kharajyr once had done so.  

Blood and Souls. The Blood of the slain, and the Souls of the lost.

Yet not all was broken beyond measure. Despite the agony, and despite the fog of not knowing, the Kharajyr continue. They draw upon their history, and create a future with it. A darker reflection now, than they once were. Yet a less desperate one, when compared with the times of the Moonlit Sanctuary. Secluded from the world, Hualtepetl may simply be one large tomb for the dying Children of Metztli.

Or, perhaps, at the push of leadership and the consolidation of their people together without extant interference…

A place of Rebirth.

Hualtepetl is the latest in the very long line of Kharajyran sanctuaries. Once more finding themselves upon the receiving end of descendent ire, both within the Horde and  from the encroaching imperial threat, the children of the moon recreate a tradition that began more than a thousand years ago: Fleeing imminent death to a new home.

Hualtepetl, or Home of Rebirth, is a construction that represents the recent resurgence in Kharahatlan culture. It places focus upon newly established shamanic traditions and a complex faith spanning the worship of Spirits, the use of Blood, and the preservation of their ancestors’ lost Souls via Mysticism. The Azurasian Kharajyr retreat from the world to Hualtepetl to focus upon themselves once more, sealing themselves away from the wider world as the experiment of coexistence fails once more, to be repeated ad infinitum with the passage of leadership and newer, more hopeful generations. 

Hualtepetl represents the chance for an echo chamber of Kharahatlan culture to expand and devolve into itself in a manner that external viewership previously prevented. Blood sacrifices to conniving, lying spirits pretending to be their gods, to empower their warriors through the bloody shamanism of the new Teopixtqui priesthood. Eidola, fueled by the spirits of past Kharajyr created as warden and warrior, struck into this world to avoid a darker fate by the rare few Teomiquiliztl priests. 

Hualtepetl’s defining trait is isolation that may be used as a bulwark against forgetting, and against outside influence that would damage attempts at recovery. Every prior attempt at coexistence resulted in the Kharajyr being bled for compromise. Certain beliefs withheld, native tongue forgone in place of that of the common, blood rites at least nominally hidden away to avoid wider suspicion in the world. Here, the Kharajyr focus upon the opposite. A controlled home where cultural history is enforced, their spirits are worshipped in manners previously taboo, and Mysticism is treated not as meddling with souls but the honourable preservation of their dead. At surface value an attempt at promoting purity, it is little more than triage. A desperate attempt to prompt either evolution- Or cultural cannibalism.

Part enclave, Hualtepetl is also part vault. Clinging to the remnants of their ancient civilisation, the Kharajyr are eternally defined by their past in a manner unlike most, if not all, other races in Azuras were. Born aware of their goddess’ passing and to a people who have lost much in terms of their history in both an IC an OOC sense, Hualtepetl is an attempt by the Aelkos of Soul, Yhl’Flaaowni, to draw her people away from growing hatred within the Horde and toward bringing them back to a semblance of what she believed their former glory to be.

It is also the designated area for the Kharajyr plan to revive Metztli. Initially constructed within Aevos, the war upon the Horde stalled efforts for a time until they left. Now, without any outside interference and all things ready, they may begin the process of conjuring her Heart once more into the world in a dangerous and deadly ritual, damn the consequences for Azuras or themselves.

Lair Build and Infrastructure (photos required, give dimensions):

Dimensions of 75x75. We’re taking the lot.

Why can this group not fulfill their roleplay niche in an existing settlement or nation? (Give a detailed answer and examples of how this has not worked in the past.):

Have you SEEN the Kharajyr?

The CA is widely hated in character and hunted for a variety of reasons by nearly every player group, with this having gone on for nearly six centuries in game. Whilst it has gotten better over the past irl year, every single Kharajyr player can tell you a story about day one of playing the character being killed and skinned twice for going to the wrong place at the wrong time. There is currently no available nation in the entirety of Azuras that the CA can reasonably move to without significantly sacrificing the CA's cultural identity and history.

With the Wall going down and the Kha group splitting into two, the damaged number of Kharajyr find themselves with even greater impetus to get going, and due to the MAs and cultural practices that are present within the remaining members of the CA's core grouping, it is not possible to easily blend in nor would it be reasonable in character to choose the path towards Idunia, as others less tied to the cultural memory of the CA have. 

Beneath are reasons for why the Kharajyr are not welcome in any of the possible realms:

The Empire: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/263152-imperial-decree-exterminatus-order-beastmen/

Norland: Owned by the Empire.

Iryalen: Owned by the Empire.

Caurost: Owned by the Empire, and also kidnapped and killed the Kha leader (meeee) due to dabbling in Mysticism and Blood Magic, which are becoming religious focal points for the CA’s largest grouping (ancestral guardians and divine sacrifice respectively).

Idunia: Whilst not nearly as xenophobic and even tolerant of Kha, it is also not viable that they would take on a Kharajyr population that would allow for the culture of the Kha to remain as is, nor would the remaining Kharajyr wish to reside with those that have been attacking them since the war began. Also, under the Empire.

Kurai Kuni: Kurai Kuni, as an Oyashi farfolk grouping, despises the Kharajyr close cousins in the Hou-Zi, and the Kharajyr firmly believe all members of Kurai Kuni are slavers of Kharajyr due to some rather unfortunate encounters with event NPCs claiming exactly that. Also, allied with the Empire.

The Horde: The Kharajyr currently reside within the Beastfolk Protectorate of The Horde of Many Tribes. Unfortunately, due to rising levels of orc nationalism within the Horde’s orcish members, followed by disrespect levelled toward the Kharajyr and upheld to be seen as valid by then-Rex Torosh’Mak, it was viewed that the pact to treat them as citizens was violated ( https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/248051-horde-eittitica-pact/ ), and a vote was held amongst themselves. At the end of this vote, it was decided they would leave. 

Following this the Horde was officially disbanded, and the Kharajyr must flee from the encroach of the empire.

Urguan: Urguan is a nation that has only recently fallen, but its land’s new ownership under the empire means it is not possible for the Beastfolk to remain.

How does this lair add to the greater world around it? How will its existence benefit its roleplay group and the server at-large?:

As stated prior the Kharajyr are in a precarious political situation, and are seeking to get out. The purpose of this lair is twofold, both to protect Kharajyr interests and playerbases ooc from being homeless and constantly attacked as the war progresses, and to further develop the culture of the Kharajyr without a restraining hand in the form of the culturally distinct Hou-Zi or the world at large. 

It adds to the greater culture of the server by providing essentially a focal point of different flavoured roleplay for the greater world to interact with at their leisure, turning the Kharajyr into an exotic and foreign people of bright colours and strange, bloodsoaked ritualism. By limiting contact irp between the Kha and the rest of the world it enables a different lens of rp by broadening the depth of the server through the creation of reticent and secluded cat-people that seem determined to stay minding their own business, and through this will be able to conduct rituals that may draw attention, or provide roleplay enabling a non-kharajyr to become a Hukhalnemi- Proven to be trusted enough with entrance.
