Now time for the lore drop (I recommend reading the culture document down below as it explains the basic ongoings) The creation of Cerulia can be traced all the way back to Sutica, where very few still remain, where its fall then ended up creating The Silver Lubba company led by Mika Goldhand with some success during the golden age of mercenary companies (https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/209167-when-the-paper-doesnt-hold/) (https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/209166-sutican-might-eternal/) With this established company first formed in the ruins of the Osser estate in former Sutican lands, they eventually got a hold on Urguan territory where they made their very own outpost to operate from and steadily got a few contracts from the various powers, though the only one well documented was the hiring of The Silver Lubba Band by Ivarielle who sought to conquer Haelun’or. As time passed, the need for mercenaries slowly faded away and The Silver Lubba Band started to grow out their outpost to become a proper vassal under the dwarves, taking in groups and vassals of their own on their small plot of land. Here in Lubba’s Keep the mercenary company grew to become their own people and established well enough relations, coffers and citizenry to set out to form Lurin. Lurin during Almaris was everything it should ever have been, a settlement away from major conflict and population hubs where it starts to thrive in benign neglect, taking in people and groups from the various corners of the realm while having their own adventures such as sending out parties to deal with hostage situations, dealing with darkspawn on their doorstep on a frequent basis and starting to form their own more well established culture. With the arrival of the end of Almaris, the balance of the realm shifted as it bit off more than it could chew on Aevos, outgrowing its own purpose as it was forced to keep up with its neighbours. During this time of strife they ended up being one of the main members of the eastern alliance block named the CCC to maintain a semblance of balance within the east to aid its likeminded allies. Though this balance was quickly shattered with the leave of Mika Anarion from the throne, who wished to retire and gave himself as a final act as ruler a plot of land he named Cerulia. From here Lurin started to crumble with external pressure and Cerulia remained mostly uninvolved with its politics as the Marq of Cerulia wished to stay retired. At the eventual conquest of Lurin, Mika’s earlier ties to Ivarielle and Celia’nor helped Cerulia to be re-established under Celia’nor where it once more was able to live its days out in peace as a massive fortress in the north. Though once more, not for long, as Celia’nor was hit with internal and external strife where it ended in a split of Celia’nor lands, of which, Cerulia ended up under Urguan rule once more. With Urguan as their new overlord, benign neglect started to set in once more, the fort started to grow and continued to house more and more people and eventually expanded to its prime on Aevos. Cerulia was not spared by the mountain and forced to go on as refugees once more, deciding to stay under Urguan to go along towards Azuras where an early Cerulia started to become a large hub for population, commerce and saw a shift in culture once more where traditions became more well established and cultural unity started to form. Cerulia in due time started to grow as much as it did without expanding its borders, effectively becoming a city that was more densely populated than some capitals, though with this came its own set of challenges, which it had overcome until the very last one, war. During this time of war they had an initial vigor to stay where they are, to defend their homes. Though battle after battle wore down its spirit, cutting a deal with imperials, though nobody is too sure how this deal went as the city that was once bustling with people had been razed to the ground without a trace left of it and vagueness surrounding the deal made it all the harder to trace back. Now the Cerulites are wandering once more, hoping to settle where benign neglect may take over once more. Government Structure Explanation: The document of general government: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SphwTSyueTG9SEJ8_SdcMS4aAMS0e10tHjzKOU-Bq8E/edit?usp=sharing Succession if that ever happens: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/241419-cerulite-succession-law/ The document of general laws: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/263168-the-codex-of-cerulute-law/ The Government Tldr: The Marq Rules, the Council aids in the rule by overseeing a branch of government, those under the council each have their own tasks. The nobility is earned by one person and not the family, high nobility is council members, descendants of the marq or those who hold direct influence over the policy of the city. Low nobility are people who have sway in the city such as leaders within departments of family heads. The main departments of the government are: -Military -Magic -Knowledge -Culture -Stewards -Industry -Medicine Though the ones necessary to make the city function regularly would be Military, Stewards and Culture. The gist of the laws are: Please just don’t mess with people more than you have to with a side of some funky rights you have such as embracing absolute freedom or working your debt away. Capital / Settlement Build Concepts (photos of assets / layout / inspiration required): I may or may not have world downloaded this part of the map just to mess around with building and ended up making a city on my own with the bit of free time I had with some help from community members The inspiration is a continuation of Cerulia, though we are advancing the build style slightly each build, which stems all the way back from the Sutican build style in Arcas, then getting influenced by dwarven architecture in Almaris and is its own thing now Though this time we learned, minimal underground shenanigans to make the city a little less laggy How does this realm/settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing group on the server?: It will corner the niche of unrestrictedly letting your character be who they wish to be, where there is unity in freedom. It does have its own little culture going on which shines different lights on certain matters such as a meritocratic system for nobility, constructs being able to get rights and ultimately it ends up being the melting pot of different cultures from the various clans, families, groups and people that reside within it. Culturally this settlement will always end up feeling much more different than what the average city on LOTC will feel like as proven by the people just calling everything done by the community odd. Though that is exactly what a different culture should feel like, strange to someone outside of it as it is different from what they are used to. Attempts have been made to try to make this niche exist under a nation as a vassal, but oftentimes the thought of benign neglect irks those who wish to take in our group. Often met with demands that will effectively destroy the niche that is occupied by this settlement. This settlement could not exist under other nations as of this moment unless they wish to bend their own narrative. It will fill the void of the missing multi racial nation, though I would not want to grow further than a settlement as it would harm my mental health more than lotc during covid did. How does your realm/settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?: Its to be existence is a continued journey of a community that has been on the move for the past few years, naturally it manifests in different shapes and forms from a nation to a mercenary band to a settlement with each part having their own story that has taken place. A cycle that does not stop as the people of this group continue to go forth regardless of any hardships they have faced and change because of it. Most of these people pick up knowledge along the way, in the most literal sense such as adding books to the library that continues to grow with time and gets moved with every iteration of this group. Though also in a more lore tied sense such as magics, alchemy recipes and other feats that one could obtain on the server, there is bound to be someone in the community who has some information on it. This has allowed previous iterations to be a pool of knowledge for other communities to tap into if they desire to do so if they are willing to put up with the idea of it. Most within the community are those who wish to spread the knowledge around and make sure that other characters can enjoy using the lore. In the end it is a community that roams around and settles wherever possible as long as they can live in peace, though this does not mean that the community is closed. People will have a fair chance at experiencing what the general ongoings are within the group and are often free to interact with their character as long it is within reason and with good intent. I wish for it to be a place at the edge of the world where people can gather and be at home as I will be real with you and this is just an oversized project of my character needing to be put into a retirement home, but every single one he builds gets busted down and it is the funniest tragedy I can imagine happening to someone. I can expand more, but ultimately I just send the culture document to anyone who asks and I will explain how every written word became a thing through roleplay interactions. Have you ever run a realm/settlement on LotC before and what experience does your group have with leadership within roleplay communities? Yes. From Sutica to Lubba’s Keep to Lurin to Cerulia. I vouch for the competence of those I have assigned on the council, they have basically led the city with me as figurehead for the majority of the map. Do you understand the metrics for upkeep, maintaining activity, and the grounds for realm/settlement removal? Of course I do, I was there in the feedback team and have read it over quite a few times :)

[!] The letter above is pinned to this public missive REPLY TO THE FINAL MERCY Issued at Year 273 of the Second Age Going to be honest with you, I was drunk off my ass with the dwarves, ended up forging everyone’s signatures and confusing everyone around me I could barely think of a single proper sentence and still it was convincing enough to everyone that I was usurping the Sutican crown Didn’t even get to the theoretical part where I would have been the prince, could have still been the current one for all the letter is concerned where Cerulia would have been added to their territory But I digress, I don’t need or want Sutica, that time has passed, I am more interested in what I currently have than the past Either way, thank you for bringing to my attention that drunken scribbles are worthy of this kind of a letter, hope it won’t happen again ETERNAL WE MARCH signed, Marq Mika “The Resourceful” Anarion, Marq of The Most Serene March of Cerulia

OMEN OF FLIGHT Issued at Year 239 of the Second Age Our fort has become barren of blue ladybugs. This is an omen that Cerulia’s lands are no longer safe from threats that are to come. We must prepare our citizenry for what is to come, leaving the combatants stationed within our realm while our general citizenry shall evacuate towards the heartlands of Urguan and set up camp there till Cerulia is restored in one way or the other. These omens are well known to me, the end of our realm is upon us, but to leave a coward is to bring dishonor to your home. Therefore I ask the folks who are willing, to aid us in our battle against what is to come. Do yourself well with this battle and I will show you kindness till the end of time.

PUTTING CRIMINALS TO WORK Issued at Year 236 of the Second Age While Cerulia remains where it stands after a long series of war, politics and adjustments, prosperity is hard to find in the colder north. With our population working hard to maintain ourselves and with a desire to grow our Most Serene March even further, we have found a most interesting solution. Indentured Servitude While at first this might sound a little extreme, we have concluded that there is a more humane approach to this method. First there has to be an establishment of contract with a willing participant, where every little detail must be written down such as the necessity to house this person, what rights they will maintain other than their basic rights granted in Cerulia and what kind of work they can perform to pay off their debt. Every person in such a position will receive at the very least taxless housing, food, drink and purpose. For those religious, they may freely attend their religious sermons or mass. They are not limited to reside within Cerulia, though it may speed up the process of becoming debtless once more. Naturally this may be used to settle a debt between people or between person and state if they owe a large fine they cannot pay off. A Simple Offer The Most Serene March of Cerulia offers those with debt to another settlement or state to approach us. We will set up a contract with the one in debt and present it to the settlement or state that this person belongs to, with their permission we will put the one who is in debt to work until their debt has been paid off. However, Our Most Serene March of Cerulia will pay off the debt of this person to the settlement or state that they owe in full if we are to accept this person into a contract. If a settlement or state finds themselves in a position where they have to fine a person who is unable to pay such a fine, that settlement or state may reach out to The Most Serene March of Cerulia to try to sell them to us directly. However, one is not locked into eternal labor, as they are granted the option to buy themselves free once again by paying off the remainder of their debt.

TO CERULIA Issued at Year 219 of the Second Age I have noticed a distinct lack of folks carrying their birthright, more who have never claimed theirs. Any Cerulite may claim their birthright. Hereby I announce: POSTULU VIAN FERON You may ask me personally and I will bestow upon you your birthright.

RETURN OF THE BLUE LADYBUG Issued at Year 217 of the Second Age The blue ladybug has been a part of history dating back to the old Sutican times, and today they have come to visit our holding. Prosperity and hope for the future has returned to us with their arrival. May the blue ladybugs call this holding their home and forever exist within our lands.

A MERRY KRUGSMAS Issued at Year 212 of the Second Age With our fort festively decorated for the season and the people within ready to celebrate this most excellent holiday of sharing and bonds, I have taken it upon myself to spread a little bit more joy around our Most Serene March of Cerulia. So I have broken into every single one of my citizens' homes to leave them a gift that I think they would like to have or have known they are in need of. However, I found the Krugsmas spirit lacking in a few homes, so I took it upon myself to add a few trees of varying sizes and decorated them while I was at it. I hope all of you enjoy your gifts and I wish you a merry Krugsmas.

THE CREATION OF THE UNDERCITY Issued at Year 211 of the Second Age With a worrying rate of folks entering our city and becoming residents, a court was held a few esht weeks ago where it had been decided that additional housing must be constructed. The results are now here and the undercity has been built alongside the Frederick Lubrary making a return with a most entertaining amphitheater being founded for our local bards. We did however encounter a hostile section of cave, which has now been blocked off through the means of a gatehouse so that we may in time deal with this threat and clear these caves for our own prosperity. Access to this undercity was difficult at first, though through basic means, we have enabled those who live there to descend down from our surface to deep below. In addition to these extra homes and spaces, it has been decided to lower the requirement for our manors from 5 folks to 3 to enable growth among these smaller families.
