The Settlement Of Aertharia

[Daniel 88]

Nation Charter:

MC Name: DanielSozonov

RP Name: Daniel (he will start the nation but I plan to have an alt character take over when Daniel dies in a future rp event I am planning)

Nation Name - include link to accepted Town or City Application:

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/46752-city-of-endisia-waiting-for-confirmation/

This will have nothing to do with the city of Endisia and is a totally different nation.

What has driven your town to become a larger nation? or Why is this settlement choosing to become a nation?

We have vast amount of new ideas and are writing lore with those ideas ranging from the different deities that will make up the clans of Artharia. This land it will be nordic, it will be cultural, harsh and most importantly people will enjoy the role play we plan to offer. Not only that but we will also have new RP events almost every week always finding something new for citizens to enjoy while they spend their time in Artharia. Most importantly this will be a harsh and unforgettable place if you enter the "wilds" of the nation.

Location

How active has your town been in the world? What history and events have occurred in your town? or What do you see this nation growing to become?

This is not an expansion of my previous town but rather a new nation that shall rise out of the dirt and form a giant golden statue to innovate and expand on roleplay as we know. I have seen many nation along the lines of Salvus, the now trying to become a nation seventis, and many others promising peace and protection. The only thing is that peace and protection aren't fun role-play wise but causes a comfort with people who don't want to lose their stuff. So I propose an empire where you can find chaos and balance. Inside the main city gate's you are safe and sound with people sworn to protect you but in the wilderness there will be tribes of vikings, disturbing creatures and as well as many more things that wish to decapitate you and floss with your guts.

How will your town evolve to adapt to this growth?

We will will have many set jobs with good pay that also offers housing we wish for people to not to have to work as much but leave time for great roleplay. This is why librarians and the head scribe are very important positions to us as a nation we wish to record our history and save it for the on-coming generation so they can enjoy the battles, the fables and most importantly the amazing well thought out characters that so much of our community has come up with and we wish to not lose. This is why we will also be pushing people who hoard items and that as their only interest to go out and enjoy the culture of Artharia.

The language of Artharia:

The travels towards Asulon

Bjorn was born in the small settlement far outside of the borders of Asulon. A place not even mapped by the monk charterers. It takes a lot for a group of people as stubborn as a wooden post dug 3 feet into the ground; kicked in to the ground with the force of a stallion. Everyone that exclaimed that they felt they not only wanted to go but “needed” to. Exploration and discovery causes people to know that they will probably not make it with the risks that they take. In this case a journey taking months of travel through the rocky mountains of Bangeria, the canyons of Icyando, and the frozen tundras of Iglacias. This was of course not without any sacrifices. Starvation made people drop like flies in Iglacias, droughts made people frightened that the only way to survive would be through gaining the moisture from their own fecal matter, and the mountains made people tumble down as if they were pebbles. The thought of even finding any settlement grew so thin that to believe in that they will make it would be to believe that a piece of string can hold up a bolder the weight of three stallions. It was all just a dream, nothing but a mirage until the first time that they met an orc. After this meeting they were frightened to death that they would meet more of these “creatures” until one day he said to the campaign “We are nords we do not cower in fear we must be able to sneak past them into the abyss of this oh so huge and intricate world. They covered themselves with mud and walked along the river banks of the typhoon river as it curls from left to right like a godly snake. The nords believed that in the creation era of this world there were enormous omnipotent snakes crawling around the earth but after them destroying everything in it’s path. Cyning the god of all, decided that he should change the snake’s into something else. The moment after this was called the destruction period. He turned the snakes into mountains of lava and as gravity took in, it consumed the world leaving nothing but black ashes on this planet for the next few generations. Many years later cyning saw that the deed had been done and that this planet was free of the disease known as man. He turned the snakes into rivers and they made the soil fertile. He turned the rodents into huge mammoths and cunning sabertooths. Finally he made man. He did not know if this was the right descision but there was no problem with trying since if they did not become the great and powerful empire that they were created to be. He would could start from scratch once again killing, every, single thing in its path...

So the nords continued down the banks of the river and after following it for a week they had arrived at their destination. A land ruled by the peaceful monks that helped the people of this world to survive. They came in hungry and dying of disease. The monks had noticed this and they were taken straight to the rooms in the cloud temple. They were bathed, fed and healed over the coming days until they were in better status than when they had left their homes. The noords became more and more familiar with the new lands. The way the language has spoken, the way to behave, and the way to meet new people. After years of living in the area they called Sanctaria, they found out that there were quite some noords living in this world. That they had very similar traditions and very familiar ways of behaving. It was now Bjorn’s goal in order to advance in these lands and create a settlement. This settlement will now be known as the “Settlement of Aertharia” he proclaimed into the giant void that is the sky. And so he begin’s his journey into realising this idea and building a settlement and then from those pillars once they are strong. They would build the building that will be one day told about in fables as the Empire of Aertharia.

Side note: These can be as simple or as elaborate as you want but remember things that are unfamiliar try to describe them but not too specific. The only people that can describe really specifically is well educated high class people.

Education:

In this nation education plays a very big role and really impacts the person you are seen as. It separates the rich from the poor from the middle class and plays a big role in getting an education. Remember these will be rare and not just anyone will be able to get or afford education. Most people will be poor and not be able to afford any education at all.

Poor Class: In this community speaking the common tongue doesn't happen. They usually live together in a small village and can have very different dialects from the next village. They have these different dialects since none of the poor villages have any type of education except maybe their parents teaching them how to communicate in their town's language. They usually end up being lumberjacks, miners, hunters, and many supply gathering positions.

Middle Class: Basic education is found in this community and most people speak very close to the common tongue except of course certain variations that different settlements have. These people know how to count from 1 to 10,000, they know how to read a book, as well as they know how to write. They usually become writers, merchants, guards

Tyr: As the king will be very busy the tyr will schedule any appointments and provide any news from the citizens of Artharia to the king. The term derives from a story of mythology told to Daniel as he was a little boy. It is about a man who had his left hand cut off because the left hand is seen as all your negative attributes and your right carries all of your positive attributes. No one else could do the same as the god "Cyning" during the creation era had to make sure everyone has negative attributes to balance themselves out and make everyone equal. This man however was known as the son of cyning that was sent down from the skies as he was the son of the cyning. Cyning did this in order for the man to run avast the earth and bring back any information that he got of course helping the evil of the world along the way.

All about Thanes

Benefits of being a Thane:

-You will have a seat in the council of Aertharia

-All military personal will treat you with high levels of respect

-Your men have to be experience and if they are not they should be trained

-Your men should always be ready to get called out on a mission

The Enticing Culture of the Aga 'Nai

We have all seen and heard of bandits but these hollow mountain bandits and bandits that say minas or die they are pathetic and weak compared to the Aga 'Nai. These men laugh at their pity while they drink from the skulls of their captured.

Behavior: They are fierce warriors that have honor as the most important thing to them they hunt their enemies down and skin them while they are alive then they continue to proceed to hang you up to show their winnings along the lines of hunters that put up moose heads or deer heads on the wall to show their fine catch, well this is what they do. Some skulls they use as beakers and drink out of them. Their weapons contain bones as they think it is a very strong material especially if it is from a healthy man this is why in a battle they always aim for the toughest and biggest enemy to show that they have no fear and to make the strongest tools as well as weapons.

Language: Most Aga 'Nai do not know any language they talk through actions whether it is through head-butting you or through giving you the most pressuring hug you have ever felt. They will have different words for Chieftan and pray but most of the time they will not talk but show you.

Yes it has the same nordic/anglo saxon feel to it only we will expand on it even more and the myrcans have died out
