The Town Of Eridell

[Robin Drake 731]

MC Name: deanofantastico

RP Name: Robin Drake

Town Name: Eridell

Why are you/your character starting this town? What role will it play?

As House Drake’s influence and power started to increase, similar to that of the old days of his

house, he found that his house and family would need to move to pastures new to continue the

growth of influence and power of his house. Not but a year ago did he send out some of his

subjects to scout out geographically suitable for him to settle and recreate the town which his

house had governed many generations ago, his only knowledge of it came from a book which

he was given when his grandfather passed. The town of Eridell will be based solely around the

rising to power of his house, and to highlight it as such it will start from the building of the lord's

residence gradually building up the town over time as the sphere of influence grows.

What type of political system is enforced in this town? Is this town under the reign of any other nation at this time?

As stated before the town is based solely around House Drake and therefore it is quite obvious

that the town would be run by the Lord. In his absence the leadership would fall on the hands of

his next of kin, who would be aided by two of his the Lord's retainers.

The retainers would be a Steward and a Soothsayer, the Steward’s responsibilities would be

inherited from the guard, he would act as a military advisor. The Soothsayer would act as a

religious advisor, more focused on omens and superstitions.

The town and it’s surrounding land would not be under any immediate rule, though it could

well be approached in the future by messengers bearing terms of becoming a Vassal of their

kingdom.

The “Guard system” would be referred to as a Town Watch, for they would generally not be

seasoned warriors or as disciplined as those from Hanseti. Their main duty would be to maintain

the peace in the town and guard from any bandits or pirate raids and from the monsters which

roam the area. The Military hierarchy is as follows:

Steward

Knight

Captain

Town watch

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

One cannot say how the commoners will act in the early days of the forming of the town.

Though it is known that their loyalties lie with their Lord if they are to commit to living there and

serving their lord.

Where would you prefer the town’s region be? Including a screenshot of the land would be nice

(of game or map).

The island Eridell will be built on (dynmap):

Image of the building style:

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

The architecture will bear some resemblance to nordic housing. The materials will be sourced

mainly from the large redwood forest and the large stone rich mountain range both located on

the mainland, not far from the town. The town will mainly be consisting of Humans and some

dwarves, due to the proximity of the Nations of Renatus, Hanseti and the Dwarven Kingdoms.

It is not expected that many elves or orcs will venture this far south though neither would be

turned from the town should they arrive.

The town’s trade would focus on sealife due to the town being located on an island and most of

the other materials would be imported from nearby nations through trade agreements. Forming

these trade agreements will also increase my favour with the nations I have the agreements

with which could lead to more favourable terms should an alliance be formed. The trade

agreements would also see the need to have a vessel and port constructed to enable safe and

swift transport of large quantities of goods, or in times of war, soldiers.

Only support if you have an interest in living, working or serving here. Otherwise it will be me

foreveralone on an island

As soon-to-be Roleplay Brother of Robin, I support this town charter with all passion I have <3

*edits himself in*

[Robin Drake 731]

Oh you~

Seeing how Salvus seems to be in a bit of difficulty I could use this as a means to usher some of the refugees to my town. I just need to walk there and start building it really... Though that is getting ahead of myself as none of salvus's towns have fallen yet, as for my town I have it all planned out in my head :3

[Ursolon 197]

Good luck with your town, Robin :D

[firespirit44 1323]

What nation is it under? Salvus?

[Zebanamana 410]

Well if you build there then I shall welcome you into the duchy of Westfall. We are a kindly bunch :) with some cannibals that we mostly ignore. I don't doubt you'll bring great rp, just realize the land you want to settle is almost completely surrounded by Renatus now.

As stated in the OP:

"The town and it’s surrounding land would not be under any immediate rule, though it could

well be approached in the future by messengers bearing terms of becoming a Vassal of their

kingdom."

The town is under rule of my noble house, not under any nation, should one wish to make contact and form a treaty which would see my fief under the rule of a nation, then I will be happy to sit down and talk terms.

Thank you very much for the kind welcome, i have not had the oppurtunity to send any of my cartographers to map out the nearby lands. As for Renatus, I have no qualms with them,

A courier bearing the yellow sunburst of House Vivyaen arrives at the residence of House Drake with a message. The letter contains a hand written greeting by Zibaen of House Vivyaen Duke of Westfall and ArchDuke of Pruvia. The courier also hands over a map with the seal of the cartographer Alexander Stolistes Count of Stolistes County in Westfall.

"Mine Lord of Westfall dost request thine presence in his Court over Westport in the County of Hawcaster. You wish to build within the County of Ridgeworth and your status as a noble may allow thee to become a Count of this region and a trusted adviser to mine lord." The courier says with a curt nod.

((Sorry I didn't rp this out more, I am quite tired)

((I would have this moved to Renatus Charters))

[Zebanamana 410]

((I would have this moved to Renatus Charters))

(We actually haven't officially taken those three territories, but I plan to take the desert with an awesome warclaim once some affairs are squared away)

[♦ Kal ♦ 242]

I will support this extraordinary bearded town. You may sign me up.

[After discussions in RP the town of Eridell has become a part of the Duchy of Westfall. Due to this I shall move this charter into the Renatus section as it is no longer in contested territory.]
