The City-State Of Rienna

[Tegrof 46]

*You are walking in a desert, lost, starving and thirsty, on the brink of death. You fall to the ground, expecting to land in the sand. Instead you land on something hard. You lift your head from the ground and see the stone continue to dwindle forward. A road. You get up and stumble forward on it. It doesn’t take long until you start to see trees distance. An oasis maybe? You obviously think it is a mirage. A couple of steps further, you focus, and see buildings in the distance. You hurry on, but start to feel weaker. You see colors, yellow and black, a gate, people running towards you. Before you faint off, a friendly voice says: “Welcome stranger. You are in safe hands.

Welcome to the City-state of Rienna”.*

Three friends, one common vision

Many of us remember the day when we was washed up on the shores of Asulon. The escape from Aegis will always weigh heavy in our hearts. But, in this new land of Asulon, there are plenty of opportunities. Three, quite different beings, decided on grabbing one of those.

First we have the happy dark elf Sting Surion. Being an elf he soon took shelter in the elven forests of Elandriel. Some may have met him as the innkeeper of The Moon Jewel. He was enjoying life, but didn’t like his situation of life. The forests were under constant attacks of the wild and brute Mori and the Elven establishment of the city was not good enough. He found plenty of friends, one in the grumpy old Captain Eugene Woodbuckle, and also in his two old friends.

That leads us to Bartholomeus Lyran, a student scholar, who had dug himself deep into books and studies. Bartholomeus once knew the productive elf Glamdring, helping him run the once famous newspaper, The Aegis Times. When Glamdring left the civilizations of Aegis, Bartholomeus was introduced to his relative Sting. In soul and heart, Bartholomeus is a hard man, but with good sense of business. His urge for freedom led him to help found the City-state of Rienna.

Lastly, there was Jack. As a hardworking lore and book keeper of the Realm of Hanseti, he was not without dreams of less tedious work. Jack also new and worked with Glamdring, on the paper, and befriended Sting. Since Jack is a very charming person, he can’t avoid to talk with everyone he meet. When learning the lay of the lands he soon understood that there had to be a neutral ground, for nations and factions to meet at. There was also never a true place of freedom, for the citizens of Asulon. This would be the seed of an idea, a vision. It was the idea of Rienna.

The three friends got together and started to plan. In his travels, looking for knowledge, Bartholomeus had found a seemingly perfect place for this neutral meeting point. The three friends walked there, and very soon, the small seed, had grown into a big city. The City-state of Rienna.

Information - what is Rienna, our goals, intentions and more

The City-state of Rienna is a neutral haven for people to come to, no matter what race you are or what nation or faction you serve. Rienna is a hub for traders to come and go, to buy and sell wares. The weary traveller is also very welcome to stay for a few days, to maybe share a tale and drink some of the locally brewed ale.

Rienna is located straight south of the Cloud Temple. If you follow the "green" road out of the Cloud Temple, through the Eastern Cloud Forest and into the Mallowyn Woodlands. You'll reach a bridge going over the river, with a sign saying "To the City of Rienna". Follow the road and you will reach Rienna soon.

Rienna favors freedom of all things. Everyone should feel safe within the walls of the city. We can guarantee every citizen of Rienna to be fully protected against the evil that lurks outside the gates. Our well built walls and the Servilex, the guard, will ensure this.

((More is yet to be added))

The government of the City-state of Rienna consists of a Council of Representatives and a Parliament. The Council of Representatives takes care of the demands of civilians while the Parliament is focused on administration and state businesses. The representatives are being elected by the civilians, once in a month an election will occur. The council will be led by the Governor.

The ministers are chosen by the Prime Minister and the Governor. The four minister positions will be those of Economy, Internal Affairs, External Affairs and Warfare. The Minister of Warfare is also the Servilex Dux.

Current politicians:

• 
  
  
• Bartholomeus Riuso, Prime Minister of the City-state of Rienna

*You find a book laying in the parliament, reporting the first court case in Rienna* ((Clicky))

Here follows an explanation on how a case in the court will be handled.

• 
  
  
• The Justiciar will enter the court room. Anyone present has to stand, and show their respect. Once he takes seat, everyone else will do so to witness trial.
  
• The Servilex will then escort the Offender from jail into the box, and the Offended will take the opposite box.
  
• The Servilex will announce the Offended’s name, and the Offender’s name and supposed crime. This is formalities and to fill in anybody sitting inside the court room. The Justiciar would have already gotten all the details.
  
• The Justiciar will then ask several questions to both Offender and Offended, no effort shall be spared to seek the truth.
  
• The Offended and Offender may ask someone close to them to represent them during court. It can be family/friend/lover.
  
• By the end of more or less a IRL Hour, the Justiciar will have a choice to postpone the hearing, or make a decision there and then.

Housing in Rienna

The City of Rienna is offering the unique system of having only apartments within the City walls. Never has this been seen in the history of Aegis and Asulon, which we see as a step towards modern times. This will encourage friendship between neighbors and to learn people to live in peace and harmony. Having a wide range of apartment sizes lets us host citizens of all statures and pockets.

Once the City has grown to its fullest, we will increase the size of the city, to house a wider range of housing possibilities, including houses, estates etc.
