[Active] Town Of Montfort

[3andD 1722]

The Town of Montfort

“Where the gold flows faster than rivers”

 

Status: [Active]

 

 

Descended from the noble stock of West Anthosian Oren, the blood of the Sarkozic, Karovic, and Auvergnian peoples flows through the veins of the settlers of the Adrian Mountains, who maintain a culture rich with tradition, history, and faith.

 

Linguistically influenced by the Sarkozic tongue of High Ruska, the writings and orations of the people of Montfort, Woldzmir, East Cyraium, and Maker’s Wood mark important milestones in Orenian literature.

 

Notable for its economic success and the great number of artisanal and raw goods exports, the town of Montfort has risen to become the hub of trade in the Southeast Oren, and sits in the middle point between the County of Werdenberg, the Holy Palatinate, and the Barony of Vladov.

 

With the town’s rising success in foreign markets and increasing demand for goods, housing, and production, the Baron has seen fit to expand his council and spread out the administrative duties among other competent men.

 

 

 

 

 

Official Government Structure

 

 

The Baron-in-Waiting, Tobia Sarkozic de Montfort-Vladov d’Adria

((AiiM))

 

Heir to the baronial seat of Montfort, the birth of the infant Tobia marked the matrimonial union of the neighboring houses of Montfort and Vladov. When he comes of age, Lord Tobia will assume the rights and dignities of the baronial seat presently occupied by his uncle, the Baron-Regent and Maer Simon de Montfort.

 

The Crown Company

Acting as advisors to the Baron and administrators of the Barony, the Crown Company is composed of the local councilmen appointed by the Baron.

 

 

The Maer & Baron-Regent, Simon de Montfort

((AiiM))

 

The Maer is the first citizen and holder of the Baronial Seal. Acting as a steward and citizen-executive, his duties lie in investing in trade and maintaining and expanding the town and satellite territories. Simon de Montfort was appointed to this post after showing mastery in the administration of the town. Upon the abdication of his brother Jacques, he assumed the Baronial coronet as regent until the coming of age of Tobia.

 

 

The Chancellor, Ser Edgar Sparrow de Rivia

((Aetosion))

 

Acting as direct advisor to the Maer and the Baronial house, the Chancellor ensures the consistent well-functioning of the city and execution of necessary administrative tasks. Ser Edgar was appointed to this station after the Baron recognized his potential in matters of state.

 

 

The Constable, Ser George Wilcon

((man509))

 

The captain of the town guard, the constable is a loyal soldier of Adria and is entrusted with ensuring payment to soldiers as well as maintaining regular patrols to protect the city. His salary is a weekly 450 minas. Ser George Wilcon was appointed to this post after demonstrating his loyalty and martial competence.

 

The Coinmaster, _____________

((_______))

 

Generally a budding trader or bureaucrat, he is appointed to office by the Maer and plays a vital part in the maintenance  of the local economy. His salary is a weekly 325 minas.

 

 

 

The Lord of Montfort, Jacques de Montfort

((Pfmvaz1996))

 

Mostly an honorary title, the Lord of Montfort is the patriarch and progenitor of the family. His position is one of great prestige. Jacques is the eldest of the family, and thus occupies this role.

 

 

 

 

Housing

 

 

Situated in East Oren, Montfort is the trade capital of the East. With many skilled laborers and large amounts of exotic & rare goods (as well as common) sold by the Maer & Crown Company.

 

Over the years House de Montfort has flourished under the economical stewardship of Paul & Simon de Montfort, resulting in a vast fortune within the Montfortian coffers. To show this, the Montfort’s have established the city has a complete tax haven. As well as offering the citizens a vast amount of rights and security.

 

Speak with the Maer to acquire your own housing. Lodging is provided free of charge to men of the guard.

 

 

 

 

Citizen’s Rights

 

Issued & Confirmed by the Crown Company in 1492.

 

Every citizen of Montfort shall enjoy these rights herein, and they may never be violated by anyone.

 

1. Citizen’s are permitted to own housing and land within the Montfordian borders.

2. Citizen’s are protected by oath to the Baron. Should one ever be harmed, the Baron would ensure vengeance is achieved.

[3andD 1722]

Montfordian Guard

 

In response to the growth of trade along the roads of Cyraium, Adria, and Southeastern Oren, the creation of the Montfordian Guard was commissioned by the Baron de Montfort.

 

In the classic character of the Barons of Montfort, the Baron has decreed that every guard will receive substantial saint’s-weekly wage just like the administrators of the Crown Company.

 

The Baron thusly extends an offer of housing, regular pay, martial respect, and training to any who take up a sword in the name of Montfort.

An anonymous letter would be sent to the owner of the city.

"is magic illegal?"

The bird waits for a while for a response.

A letter is sent in return,

 

"So long as the guidelines which are set by  Court Mage(Franz Vladov) are followed."

[VampsWillDie 76]

(also why do you have two positions in the government of the same city? Seems a bit odd o.o)

Another bird is returned with a letter. "what are the coordinates of the town?"

[Fireheart 2777]

Franz nods in agreement at the document/advertisement

[Aetosion 2062]

Ser Edgar's eyes bulge out of his face at the sight of the very generous wages for Constable, Coinmaster, and guardsmen.

Another bird is returned with a letter. "what are the coordinates of the town?"

((Baron Tobia is a child, and he is not an acting member of the government until he comes of age. His uncle, also played by AiiM, is the acting regent until this time. He's not playing two overlapping positions in the government, just playing his other character as a Regent until the Baron grows of age.))

A note is left in Montfort.

 

To the lord of this fine city,

 

I seek to establish a home base for a certain organisation which would double as my accommodation. Would this be possible and what would it cost?

 

Utmost Regards,

 

Carlo Barone.

To the lord that governs this fair town,

I hope this letter finds you in the greatest of health. My name is Elvi Terryal and I am hoping to come live in Montfort. I am  young Alchemist so I am hoping to set up my own home and lab here. I also have a few questions as well:

1. Would magic be allowed? I, myself, is a fire mage (Although I am only still in training) but I reassure you, I do not use my magic for evil purposes. I only use it to aid myself in Alchemy, or to defend myself and others when truly necessary.
2. How much would it cost for housing and tax? Forgive me for this strange question but I do like to be aware of things early instead of at the last second.
3. Where is Montfort located?

I am unable to see the city now as I am travelling around Athera and the wilderness for ingredients for a while and I am unsure of when exactly I will be back.

Please reply as soon as you can.

Sincerely,

Elvi Terryal.

((OOC: Due to bad internet problems, I won't be online a lot for the whole of next week possibly but I'm still wanting to live in Montfort.))

A letter is sent back swiftly, bearing the seal of House Montfort.

 

"Magic is indeed allowed, however if you are caught violating any magical laws set by the Archmage than you will be punished. As of now the Archmage hasn't set any laws so you are safe.

 

In regards to your other questions, Montfort is a tax haven. After you've payed your 50 mina down payment your don't have to be worried about housing fees. You can also find Montfort east of Petrus, follow the main road and travel accross the Attavic Highway."

Silonn mutters as he pens a letter with crimson ink. As he nears the end of the parchment he signs the letter and gives it to his exotic bird which flies off immediately. The letter reads:

 

To Simon de Montfort,

 

I have recently been travelling throughout the realm and when I returned to Montfort expecting my warm bed I found my house had been taken over. I was surprised that something like this could occur in your good town but it has I am sad to say. I hope this issue is resolved swiftly,
