Settlement Government Structure Explanation:
The settlement has a very aristocratic government structure where the patriarch of every noble clan is granted a place on the council.

The Król serves as the sovereign liege and executive power of the settlement, taking the role of the PRO.

The Master of Coin (Mistrz Monety) keeps track of the coffers, documenting any and all expenses. His role is also to serve as a head steward, being in charge of the housing registry.

The Master of Whispers (Mistrz Szeptów) deals with foreign and diplomatic affairs, serving as an ambassador. His duty is to gather intelligence and uphold political relations with other states. 

The Marshal (Marszałek) oversees the guard force. His primary duty is to protect and uphold the laws of the land. He may submit laws for approval during meetings. He may delegate militaristic duties to his men and issue promotions as he sees fit.

Settlement Builds and Infrastructure (photos required):








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

We plan to introduce a unique new culture to LoTC, one based around a gritty ol’ timey medieval feel. Our culture and customs are unique from the other settlements of Almaris.

We’ve already formed a community, with active leadership and kindhearted players here to have fun. We intend to host regular events, such as feasts, festivals and hunts to keep everyone engaged. Our events are meant to encourage players to actively take part and take the spotlight every now and again. We have active players who would gladly organize, host and DM various events. We typically limit our CRP hunting event parties to around 5~ players to make running it more manageable and thus enjoyable for all involved. We hope this helps offer players a more personal experience where their choices as individuals as well as a team really matter. Active leadership allows for such events to occur frequently. Our player event DMs each offer a unique point of view and their own stories to tell.

We have been vassals under Sutica since pretty much the start of the map, however, we feel that relying on another entity prevents us from growing and progressing as a community and puts certain boundaries on what we can and can’t do.

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

The Różanians are eager to build a better future for themselves. It is a plausible idea that they could set out in search of land to claim as their own in order to live as freemen. We'd like to make this an ark in our storyline and build our settlement up step by step and have our players write our history through their actions. We have been camping around for a bit and enjoying camp RP, though our ultimate goal is to set up a permanent settlement somewhere.

Have you ever run a settlement on LoTC before and what experience do you have with leadership within roleplay communities among the current groups of players?

Though I’ve never ran a settlement before, I co-lead a barony alongside gurlpirate for the majority of Almaris, said barony being Brynrose, a Sutican vassal. Prior to this, gurlpirate has taken part in leading a settlement called “Esbec” back in Arcas.
I have also played as the count of Sarissa, which also happens to be a vassal of Sutica.
I enjoy taking a hands on approach when it comes to leadership, actively engaging with the community to encourage passive RP. I also take it upon myself to host player events which keep our players entertained, giving them stories to tell and reasons to stick around.
Gurlpirate and myself have hosted countless successful events in the past, and have formed an active community together. We strongly believe that we’re capable of taking this step and forming an independent community.

Do you understand the metrics for maintaining activity and the grounds for settlement removal, along with the standing polity cap?

Yes, I do. We have to maintain at least 1% activity and pay weekly taxes or risk eviction should we fail to meet the requirements.

Thanks to Xolani and gurlpirate for helping me put this together.

I also apologize for any issues with formatting or anything of that sort ;-;
