VILLAGE CHARTER

MC Name: Dez1320

RP Name: King Renati Amedaius

Village Name: Fort Helio

(Fort Helio Theme, play while reading.)

Why is your character starting this village/settlement? What is its purpose?

The purpose of Fort Helio is to protect Seventis and its current capital, Ascella. It would function as a base of defensive operations for the Seventis Military. The military's armory would be located there. The soldiers would be able to keep an eye on Ascella and Fairfield to make sure everything is safe. It would also prevent an invasion from foreign forces. The fort would further increase the security of the Monk Lands and help stop bandits from terrorizing the citizens. The fort would also be stockes with emergency supplies in case a siege were to occur. The soldiers would be able to quickly aid the two settlements nearest it.

What type of political system or leadership is within the village?

The Fort is commanded by a Chiliarch, which is the rank of Garrison Commander in the Seventis Military. The normal military hierarchy would continue. The Chiliarch would oversee the Fort and ensure the safety of the surrounding area. The Chiliarch would also be responsible with the task of organizing and supplying the men there.

Ranks (Arrows represent the change in command)

(First three ranks are equal in line of command)

Frouros: The heavy infantry units, they fight in close formation. The Frouros translates to Sentinel in Archaic Language, and they fulfill their meaning in the way they fight. They stick together and march in a Phalanx, or a square mass of troops. They are defensive in the way that they form the front line but are also offensive in the fact that they can all strike as one in a sense. These are the most common soldiers and are the backbone of the military.

Peltast: The skirmisher units, they would carry axes/swords and bows used to disrupt the enemy. Peltasts threw everything and anything they had at the enemy. They use a hit and run tactic, hitting and dealing damage before retreating to the Seventis front lines. The Peltasts try to scatter the enemy and stagger them before the heavy Seventis infantry moves in and finishes the job.

Toxotes: The dedicated archers with a marksman's aim. The Toxotes would cover the heavy infantry from the flanks and barrage the enemy with a volley of arrows. The main tactic of the Toxotes is to keep constant pressure on the opposing force and cover the heavy units. They would carry a sword/axe in case the enemy neared them so that they could stop them from encircling the main infantry.

V

Strategos: The highest and most honorable rank, the Strategos leads the army to victory. He is in charge of maintaining the military and overseeing its success. The Strategos is followed with loyalty and pride.

Other

The Companions:

Similar to the Protactes rank, the Companions will be the squad made up of the King's best friends and strongest soldiers. The Companions personally protect the King and serve as his elite. They will have the same tier of command as the Phourarchs. The only way to join this is to be invited by the King himself. Asking to join and/or complaining about not being accepted will not be tolerated.

What sort of behavior will residents exhibit? (Race relations, nation relations, etc.)

Only soldiers and members of the government will be permited entry, all others will be turned down if they don't have a viable reason. The soldiers stationed there will be bent on their goal of protecting the capital and the farming village of Fairfield. The gates will be shut at all times as the soldiers will be weary of bandits, thugs, and raiding parties.

Where would you prefer the town’s region be? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice (of game or map).

In the desert that overlooks Ascella and Fairfield.

Coords: (X: -744 Y: 70 Z: 375)

Any other details (architecture, races, culture, etc):

The bricks will be imported from the outlaying towns of Seventis. They will be transported via ship and dropped off on site. From there on, the King and the Chiliarch will begin construction. Many workers will be involved with construction of the Fort.

I would like to note that the Crimson Blades and the Bahr clan are making a fort town too, maybe the 2 could share the burden.

[Josh △ 87]

I will gladly sign up for this charter!

[Samson (Derick) 123]

I sign.

(( Dez, I know someone who has several ideas for a fort. His designs are AMAZING. I perhaps I can talk to him and get a different design for the architecture in order to prevent " another square fort "? Send me a PM if you're interested. Btw, he's a member of Ceru. ))

((Its hard when we will only have a 25 x 25 space.))

[Thu'um 530]

The charter is rather lacking, Renati.

[Daniel 88]

Uhm the two people that have signed so far can't sign this since they have signed the nation charter.

[SDJFDSJNFDSLKJVNDFBN 315]

The charter is rather lacking, Renati.

That's why its not done and i'm still updating it, Damien.

Oh, didn't notice that. Thank you for pointing it out.

When I get home, I'll send you some screenshots of what I'm thinking.

Also, I think a better location is the forest that lies n the center of the triangle created by Seventis, Ascella and Fairfield. That way we keep it at the center of the nation as well as keeping it on " the mainland "

((Good idea, but wont that make it crowded?))

[Ursolon 197]

Not at all. I was actually thinking of putting Fairfield there originally. And like you said, it's only 25x25. Plus, I doubt our soldiers want to be stationed in a hot desert indefinitely!

Very good point! I'll rethink its location.

[Ursolon 197]

Good. I'm glad that I was helpful :)
