Application:


Skype: You have it.

Province of choice: Esk Savannah (10)

Governor (Their name, and a little personal history): Flavius Publius Lucius, a 46 year old Military Governor and overall commander of the Military of the Esk of Savannah. He has been at his post for just over a decade, his predecessor dying fighting the monstrous threats to the South.

Your Provincial Culture: Due to the activity of monsters in this wild and dangerous region the people have a split society when it comes to their lifestyles. With about a quarter of the civilians living a Semi-Nomadic lifestyle never staying in one area for more than a few days, this evolution of culture is due to many villages being destroyed and leaving most of the permanent settlements being near Military structures with them being the safest with most of the agriculture focusing around the settlements closer to Military installations with the majority of the population residing there.

 

The Military itself is generally considered a poor assignment within the Empire, though the troops are raised locally some of the officers consist of those sent to the Province as a punishment or death sentence. Though there are many native officers and they are generally promoted through merit, since skill and ability is emphasized due to the crisis as Monsters come North. Overall Loyalty towards the Empire remains, as the Government and Military of the Province recognizing they need support from the Imperials to protect the Province.

 

The Priority of the Government is to find some way to contain the growing threat to the South, though no known method has been found. Outside of appealing for help from the other Provinces and the Imperial Authority, the Garrison of the Eskian Savannah must be increased along with their elite units.

A Unique Military Unit for your Province (You should read the mechanics before you decide): Eskian Scouts,a hybrid melee, ranged unit of Light Cavalry being the rapid response unit of the the Eskian Savannah, it has the highest requirements of training in order for an individual to join, it solely consists of natives of the Province in both its rank and file and its officers. High Mortality rates put this as one of the most dangerous assignments for any unit in the Imperial Military.

Province of choice: The Royal Highlands (6)

 

Governor (Their name, and a little personal history):

 

Aetius Septimius. Aetius is a born-member of the prominent Vorenian Dynasty of the Highlands, a family in control of most of the mining industry of the Province, more specifically, the gemstone market. A business Aetius found himself inheriting after his Father passed away of health complications.

 

Being in control of such lucrative materials, the Voren Dynasty was propelled to high standings, especially within matters of  provincial governing, their keen sense of politics and Voren funds in the right places, led Aetius Septimius to become the first Vorenian Governor of The Royal Highlands.

 

Aetius is a revered figure throughout his own Province. Well regarded due to his ethical business protocols and care for those under him, he had little to no issues establishing his rule as he ascended to his office. Despite being in control of such wealth, Aetius was a man of considerable morals, and keen sense; the Province remained well in poverty, but Aetius was of wealth, unrest may occur if he hoarded his share like a dragon. Therefore, his primary objective has always been to fund public projects and establishing more careers opportunities by opening up new opportunities.

 

The fracturing of Imperial Territory into Provincial prefectures by Emperor Scipicus did not alter any course for Aetius, the Highlands usually remaining to themselves in the matters of foreign politicking. Though it did allow for Aetius to redirect more funds into his Province, not heavily taxed anymore. 

 

But it has been 20 years since then and Aetius finds himself well into his old age, though unconcerned to him. His kind demeanor and age has earned him the epithet “(The Caretaker) of the Highlands”.


 

Your Provincial Culture:

 

Highlanders are a naturally reclusive sort, nestled in the Imperial Mountain Ranges away from most news and issues of the other Provinces. They mingle with one another, avoiding most foreigners whenever possible; the flatland remain hospitable to travelers, but if one were to traverse into the settlements nestled at the base of the Mountains, they’d find themselves quickly ostracized, or worse.

 

In such an isolated state, each little village and town form themselves into a ‘faction’ with their own traits and quirks within the Province. But to remain represented in interior affairs, most villages send a chosen man to serve within the Provincial Government. In recent years, due to the interference of Governor Aetius, a kindred flame has been lit between these hamlets, a sense of unity and camaraderie forming between each other.

 

The main primary source of food-stuff for these inhabitants lie in imported sea-food from its eastern boundaries, or wild-game from the forests nestling at the bases of the Mountains. The Heartland of the Province enjoy a more diverse choice of nutrition as field of crops can be grown in this region during the warmer seasons, while they still benefit from imported food.

 

The heart of the Province lies in its Capital, Caesaria

 

The occasional ‘Gold Rush’ still occurs as rare veins of minerals are prospected in the Highlandic Mountain Ranges. All corners of the Province would have someone rushing to strike profit, but the wealth would remain divided, only further cementing a general state of poverty as only a select few gain access to unprecedented wealth.

 

The reclusive status of the Province only paved way for greater experiments for the Caeserian Academy of Sorcerers. Now unchecked by any higher powers other than the Governor himself, the Sorcerers have begun to dabble in more dangerous studies. The Sorcerers are highly sought after by the common populace to solve their issues, to which begrudgingly do so most of the time, under careful overseeing of the Governor.

 

The Provincial Legions are rarely paid any notice, the policing of the populace usually left to town militias and the likes. They are reserved solely for the protection of the borders, or called upon for when the need of exterminating creatures is required.

 

A Unique Military Unit for your Province (You should read the mechanics before you decide):

 

fAHqboMjZfwrKM8SO8-mOihAdxiXSFiapf7hAYr-GuammV9BZaUOm33WkLPjTAQOjHtibEebEjmz7ZE70IsHgOEpQIu22RuNC3GDuNrfXSvveh9ZVPfQAiwAfs2wHk9H-Joi-cZI

 

The Highland Mountaineers - A highly specialized cohort of the handpicked mountain climbers. These mountaineers are responsible for ensuring the Peaks of the Province stay clear of beasts and creatures that would prey upon miners gathering resources from the Mountains.. During times of war and conflict, the Mountaineering Brigade would be tasked with the destruction of vital routes leading into the Province; as well as laying traps, ambushing supply lines, and causing avalanches to cascade upon marching columns of enemy troops. Given the terrain they work in, they are in a high threat career, but nothing trumps one’s love for their homeland, and so they continue to dutifully stay vigilant.

They’d be void of any metalloid armor, opting for thick leather and warm furs, while their weapons consist of slings, daggers, and the occasional light crossbow.

 

As well as the aforementioned tasks, the Mountaineers are responsible for the maintaining of the Provinces’ numerous beacons that dot the tall Peaks
