"Requiem mi Amica, Requiea" Tullius sighs upon hearing the news "vivit Saxtus in morte cum Brutae"

"Would hope the new generation doesn't forget that this is a united union of previously independent realms rather than a continuation of Oren." The old Helwig von Bardenwig-Alstreim grumbles reading the issue whilst extensively grooming his moustache

Lvrinicvm Delenda est Within the last few saints days the ancestral enemies of our people located in Lvrinicvm have decided yet again our people are the enemy; They lie and claim that ourselves and the sons of Crug have attacked their voidal settlement. We were ready to move on as a people from their previous transgressions in their prior state when they mercilessly killed Praefectus Leo Phokoi Catulus in their streets as Svticvm. As an official response we would like to let Lvrinicvm know we don’t consider you a threat anymore, but we will kill you if you too go after our women and children aswell. ~ Signed Tullius Vlastoi Proteus. ((In Short))

Caeliae Liberatae For the last 20 years, the four of us have lived in Aaun seeking a better life, ever since we arrived we’ve been beaten, ridiculed and maimed. We arrived to find a better life, to find a place to settle our families and end the wandering of our people, instead all we found was hatred. -To Reinmaria Vlterior known as Mintiz- We had left you due to your aggression and hatred for our people. From the start your hatred coalesced into frequent personal attacks against us directed at our people. Forcing our young men into your abridged version of the Canonist faith and it’s barbaric self harming rituals. The only good to come from your hovel is the children dear Flavia had, Sentius and Lucius from her relationship with one of your kin. Under the watch of your warband Marcus lost his arm, and dear Flavia the mobility of her legs and her eye. -To Regnum Aavnicvm- The first 5 years of our settlement in your ‘royal’ capital has shown to us that no king is worth following. Dark spawn and Voidal Magii freely traverse the insides of your ‘holy’ capital. On one expedition brave Caelians came across a poster to one “Boon & Bane’s” in an apparently evil place, when confronted the two rallied the support of the entire kingdom to try and attack us and anyone who showed any sympathy. In said incident they banished Gofdazz an Orc who had been training the children of Aaun particularly the Haverlock youth and our own Lucius. The targeting of our people has not stopped and has gone as far as driving us from the land and expressing the wish to lead expeditions in attempts of wiping out our women and children. The Aavnic ‘Legion’ will claim that the Caelian youth Lucius attacked a guard in their city, when he and the Orc Gofdazz was attacked in the city center. They target our children and want the blood of our people. If you wish to wipe our people from the face of this plane then so be it, I hope to see you all personally on the fields of Belldevm. sic semper tyrannis, Vivat Patria gens Caeliae Res publica supra que Rexus

Tullius reads the missive and scoffs "They attacked us, why bring our entire people into a street brawl. These Aaunii are in toe with the wealthy one, they will bring destruction to their own kingdom; their lies about mercenaries are the least of their concern."

Settlement PRO MC Name: Zqppyy Settlement Name: Caelia Proposed Settlement Locations (Highlight 3 on the map): We’d prefer to settle in Tile 4 in the Badlands as we’ve prepared our build designed around it, but if we had too, tiles 6 or 2 in the badlands would also be nice. Settlement Lore: Caelian Word List The Caelians follow the Iusreligio religion, a pagan pantheon of deities forming triads of worship. The Three main triads are ‘Ivlioia; God of the Seven Skies and ruler of the Gods, Ilia; Goddess of Marriage and Wisdom, Aelivs; God of the sun’ ‘Marevs; God of the Seas, Water and Harvest, Amordea; Goddess of Fertility and love, Vervsa; Goddess of the Hearth’ ‘Belldevm; God of Conquest, War and Strategy, Soledevm; God of Peace, Justice and Fire, Faberanvs; God of Crafts and the Forge The Major Gods that arent part of a triads are Malignivs; God of the Void, Gambling and Crime Aemillia; Goddess of Victory, Follows Belldevm Parsdiem; God of Wine, and Partying. Caelian mythos starts in Atlas from Colonia Aequium under Velia. The founder Caelianus Ramnesius is said to have been the son of the Caelian god Belldevm; he led his people out of the Colonia due to disagreements with the government. Descendants of the Contubernii Caelianae became the known Patricii gentes/families in later Caelia. Caelianus was proclaimed Praefectus of the Caelians The son of Caelianus Ramneseius was murdered by his son Filione, which was avenged by his other son Iulianus who was proclaimed the second Praefectus. Praefectus Iulianus led the Caelian people across the frozen wastes of Atlas into the land of Arcas where the gentes settled on the fields of the southern Korvassa. Iulianus would die defending the gentes of Caelia when Barbarians overwhelmed the defenses of the city. The Caelians would scatter across the wastes of Arcas. The main lines of the Vlastos gentes would reunite in the Norlander city of Morsgrad where the dream of returning to Caelia reigned in their minds. At the dawn of a Norlander war with Oren the Vlastos gentes took a boat across the south sea in hopes of returning to Iulianus’ settlement. After bearing harsh weather and storms, the Vlastos eventually arrived back to the site of Iulianus’ settlement where auvergne influenced forest dwarves had taken refuge in the ruins. The dwarves were originally friendly with the Caelian arrivals, overtime word of Caelian resettlement reached the ears of the other gentes of Caelia. In time the Caelians were severely out-numbering the dwarves. The dwarves were swiftly routed as tensions rose; Latinius Vlastos was hailed as the third Praefectus as his leadership led them back to Caelia and in victory against the dwarves. Latinius Vlastos led Caelia for 67 years, during his reign he appointed a senate based on the Velian system to oversee the settlement. Near the end of the Caelian’s time on Arcas the Inferii invaded the Korvassa. The Caelian legion was worked to the bone defending against Inferii attacks as support from Oren and Sutica was separated by a vast hellscape. The Inferii were defeated by the firewatch and its alliance; the Caelian legion was able to rest on their laurels for 4 years before catastrophic flooding engulfed the southern lands of Arcas, the Praefectus drowned in the chaos. During the Inferii war Caelius Ramneseius the adopted son of Latinius Vlastos was proclaimed the fourth Praefectus for the titles he received during his service in the legion. The gentes of Caelia were able to stay united as they moved in with the Hyspians under Osanora after Caelius reunited with his cousin Herman Vlastos who resided in Tierre Natal on Arcas. Tensions in Osanora would rise between the Caelians and Hyspians as Caelian culture was being replaced by the Hyspian half of the city. This conflict all came to head as the Caelian Legion who made up the military of the city led a coup d’état against Baron Antonio de Medina. In what came to be known as the tragedy of the taberna the Caelians lost their Praefectus. Antonio de Medina slit the throat of Caelius as Leo of Phokas retrieved his corpse after chasing out the Mendez brothers. Leo Phokas was proclaimed as the fifth and last Praefectus of the Caelians, his reign was short lived as the day following the tragedy of the taberna Sutican guards rallied in Osanora to behead the Caelian aristocracy Forced into exile the Gentes of the Caelians fled into the desert where they would fight off the desert tribes and live as nomads for the next 106 years. The Gentes of Ramnesius, Vlastos, Phokas, Velina, Collina, Palatina, Suburana, Aemillia, Horlenia, Bringas, and Doukas were able to survive the harsh sands. Four Caelians were sent off from the Southern Desert to establish connections with other powers and find a place for the Caelian people to settle. Flavia Ramneseii Primus, Marcus Ramneseii Scipio, Tullius Vlastoi Proteus, Leonardo Vlastoi Lepidus. They traveled the human kingdoms before settling inside the Duchy of Minitz. The four would fight and give their all for the kingdom of Aaun for nearly 20 years before getting fed up with the bureaucracy, they came for a fresh start for their people but found prejudice and hate. They were driven out of Minitz and were ridiculed in the city of Whitespire. With this drive the four returned to the Caelian Gentes and told them of their travels; they would lead the Caelians to a new place of settlement. Settlement Government Structure Explanation: The city of Caelia will follow a Classical Republic style of Government, with elections held for Magistrate positions. Those Magistrate positions would have four positions being Consul, Praetor, Aedile, Quaestor. Those outside of the senate can only run for the Quaestor position, and once you are elected as a Quaestor you are a senator for life or until you resign. Each term there will be 2 of each magistrate position elected from within the senate. -Consul; The Consuls lead the senate in sessions and have the power to lead the army, introduce/veto legislation. -Praetor; The Praetor's role are to oversee legal proceedings in Caelia and act as head diplomats for the senate, in the case the Consuls arent around or delegate the role down the ladder they can also act as leaders of the army.. -Aedile; Aediles are Responsible for planning city events, stewarding the city and organizing festivities. -Quaestor; The Quaestor are to act as advisers to the Consuls, and Proconsuls, for every Consul and Proconsul in term there are to be an equal number of Quaestors elected. The two non Magistrate positions are Proconsuls and Censors, each of these positions will be appointed by the senate for a time of two election terms. -Proconsul; Leads a Caelian province in the event the senate organizes territory outside the main region of Caelia -Censor; Is in charge of conducting a Census every 4 years, keeps the official records of the Res publica, Holds the elections and manages the state’s treasury. Settlement Builds and Infrastructure: How does this settlement offer a unique niche not already found in an existing polity on the server?: Caelia offers a unique experience that's been lost on the server for some time. And, with changes in human nations yet again the niche is greater than ever. Classical/Mediterranean style rp is wanted on lotc and has been wanted for a long time. Our system of government and culture is different from all other cultures and settlements on lotc, republics are rare on lotc; especially classically styled republics. How does your settlement tie to the greater lore and narrative set by the community on LotC?: Caelia has been a group of players since mid Arcas and has changed hands a couple of times throughout that timeline. Caelia has connections to Velia from Atlas through rp ancestry (Which was passed down through Zarsies in dms) Have you ever run a settlement on LoTC before and what experience do you have with leadership within roleplay communities among the current groups of players?: I ran a small settlement on Arcas, and I have experience with Worldguard and running settlements/groups; we have others in our group who are also experienced with leading outside LOTC. Do you understand the metrics for maintaining activity and the grounds for settlement removal, along with the standing polity cap? Yes Realm Color: Tyrian Purple / Dark_Purple

Tullius Vlastoi Proteus Reads the missive laughing Sadistically "May the Immortal Gods reign fire upon those who worship a God from the Void. May he who is wealthy betray them in their final days" Tullius says to Marcus on a hot Caelian day

YES

Sounds like the fault of the settlement If Gates are closed they're either stupid or in conflict irp imo (Unless you're like Haelun'or and its part of your culture)

*Helwig Nodds in agreement whilst stroking his mustache

This sounds like a Soft Reboot for Charters which I enjoyed (If it was on permanently after the first month it'd be a good way to get new settlements without the "Prove your worth" Method that's currently in place) If you take this approach, you could have a disaster event fire a month or so after colonization starts; giving a reason for nations to relocate, and the new settlements to feel natural and fit in.

Why not make the map the same size and make it more accessible

Why not just make one big and well designed map and not reset for 5+ years, would be better no?

If they have to be paid for, why make them so expensive? I get there's a map limit, but with any price above 10 mina I dont think anyone's gonna spam to the maximum, so why not make it way cheaper by half or to 20 minae?

Lair PRO MC Name: Zqppyy Lair Name: Caelia Proposed Lair Locations (Highlight 3 on the map): Lair Lore (could link to an existing creature or other lore) (1000 words minimum): Examples of Architecture & Images Related to Lore: https://imgur.com/a/p083yHf The Caelians had been a proud people, able to narrowly withstand the incursions of the Inferi hordes upon their doorstep; when Arcas was dying Caelia was said to die with it. A man by the name of Hernan Vlastos, who was the adopted son of Leonardo Vlastos one of the founders of the resettlement of Caelia in the south of the Korvassa was ethnically tied with the tribe of the Hyspian peoples, united with one of his cousins Caelius Ramnesius Vlastos by chance, the man by the name of Caelius Ramnesius Vlastos was the adopted son of Latinius Vlastos, another founder of the resettlement of Caelia. Leonardo Vlastos was in contact with a man by the name of Antonio de Medina whom was to be granted land by the Free Trade State of Sutica upon the arrival to Almaris. Caelius was a narcissist with the belief that he was the best swordsman in the world for he "Fought" the Inferi under his father serving in a prissy management job under the Caelian Military. Antonio de Medina upon receiving his land on Almaris called his land Osanora and gave titles to Leonardo and Caelius . Upon Caelius and Leonardo receiving their titles, brought the mass amount of Caelian peoples to the town, from all houses; especially those of house Phokas, Vellina, Ramnesius and Vlastos; by this time there were 3 distinct peoples living in Osanora that of the Caelians, the Hyspians, and the Osanorans themselves. Time would pass as ethnic tensions soon engulfed the town of Osanora; the Hyspians had been exiled, Caelius had been deposed from his seat in the Legislature of Osanora and the Leader of the city's Military, and was quickly reinstated after an uproar was received by the Duke from the Caelian peoples. During this time Caelius had declared himself the "Praefectus" of the Caelian peoples. A group of Hyspians following the Cannonist faith returned to the city to replace the Pantheon of Osanora with their religion's church; Caelius soon radicalized the houses of Vlastos, Ramnesius, Velina, Phokas, Octavius and Carnera into a plot to overthrow the baron of Osanora, three men hearing of the Baron himself hosting a night at the Cantina soon notified Caelius, this was the day they would strike. When that day came Caelius, Marcus Octavius, and Leo Phokas would go into the Cantina where Baron Antonio de Medina was serving drinks, blocked the doors, drew their swords and demanded the drinks in the bar be handed over to them. Quickly noticing the threat, Antonio de Medina Threw a pan at the leader Caelius, Knocking him out instantly. A fight broke out which caused a commotion to which many men arrived, Leo Phokas was chased out of the Cantina by Carlos Mendez and his brother; by then the Baron had slit the throat of Caelius killing him. As Leo Phokas had ran out of sight of the Cantina he had turned to fight the two pursuers which lead to Leo becoming victorious over them. Leo began running back to the Cantina. By the time he returned he noticed Antonio de Medina standing over the corpse of Caelius. The bloodlust overcoming Antonio upon seeing Leo Phokas swung his blade at him; the attack was parried by a weakened man by the name of Dim, to which Leo was able to land a large strike over Antonio cutting open his chest and his stomach killing him. At the end of the night at the Cantina two men lay dead; the leader of the Caelians and the leader of Osanora, Praefectus Caelius Ramnesius Vlastos, and Baron Antonio de Medina. At this time the ethnic tensions heightened; with Hyspians and Osanorans up in arms against the Caelians who still lived in the city. Leo Phokas declared himself the new Praefectus, appointing a body guard by the name of Arcadius Ramnesius. Leo Phokas and Arcadius traveled hiring Mercenaries from Norland and Haense to attempt to take over Osanora; the two returned to Osanora entering the town square to see a group of five Hyspians block the entrance to town, among them were priests and Carlos Mendez. A harsh assortment of words were flown by both parties leading to young Felipe de Medina the adopted son of Antonio de Medina to run off in a crying fit, mounting his horse and riding off to Sutica. This conflict lasted a long while, to which the Sutican raid bells were rung and Felipe de Medina returned with the Sutican guard; the guard pronounced that the two men were to be arrested. Leo Phokas began spouting words, in an insane attempt being cornered by 14 men; the Sutican guard ended up killing Leo Phokas and his body guard Arcadius in the Osanoran town center. After this, the Caelians were expected to leave; the many men and women packed up their belongings and were forced outside the city. A mass exodus brought them across the waters to the northern continent, the Caelian peoples were off to a land that had been described to them and many had visited on trade missions before; a land by the name of Vaelya. They were not but half way to the city when they started hearing troubling news by the people they came across. The City of Vaelya had been burned down by raiders. The Caelians, knowing of their history and proud of it decided then and there to rebuild the land of their fathers in the lands of Almaris; they stopped where they were, built their camp and decided to build a mighty walled fortress to protect their peoples. Why can you not accomplish the niche of this lair’s roleplay in an existing settlement or nation? (We expect a substantial answer for this, not just ‘I don’t like them’). The niche of the proposed lair cannot exist within any existing settlement or nation currently. The Caelian's roleplay consists of gluttonous, militaristic cultured society of which politics are prevalent but all in support/coinciding with the military and this way of life. The Caelians are used to a large encompassing legislature that is made up of noble family members that vote on laws and the Lord-Protectors. Once the city fell on Arcas (at the end of the map) many men had declared themselves the new leaders of the Caelian peoples such as Caelius and Leo, but did not use Lord-Protector out of respect for Caelianus (The Original Caelian) and Latinius (The last Lord-Protector). Under the Caelian Religion Iusreligio which is a Polytheistic religion specific (currently) to the Caelian peoples, has many festivities and traditions associated with it that cannot be done in other cities, such as the use of dedicating buildings, and animal sacrifice. This settlement will act as a haven for free trade, the religious cult of the Iusreligio gods, and a fun area for potential wanderers to come across and roleplay with. What does this lair add to the greater world around them?: This will add a militaristic buffer state between the three nations of Urugan, Oren and Haelun'or by land and the Druidic Order by sea; the lair will practice minor geopolitics and attempt potential raids to enemies and bandits from this location. It will add something to see around EastFleet which is something that is needed especially after the "fall" of Vaelya. This will add a Pagan element to the region that is out of the ordinary which can evolve into fun roleplay where players interact with this religion and the people that follow it within and outside of the walls of the lair. We currently have a big group of peoples there being around 11 currently, and we still have more that may potentially join in the near future.

Introduction: Name of Culture: Caelian Introduction to the Culture: The Caelians are a race of Farfolk people who put an emphasis on their abilities to produce legislation, their court of laws, and their abilities to field organized land armies. Typically Caelians enjoy situating themselves in fertile valleys or river beds near to arid lands, this is because the diet they consume tends to be filled with crops that can grow in hot-temperate to semi-arid climates such as grapes through vineyards, Figs, Dates, Apples, Pears, Plums, cabbage, carrots, pomegranates, radishes, turnips and more. While the Caelians are not a seafaring people they do tend to utilize the ocean or rivers; this includes use for drinking, irrigating, fishing, and trade. History: the History of the modern day Caelian is very specific and hard to understand, to better capture the history of the people it will be presented in list form: Junius Germanicus is born being disputed as the first Caelian Nonus Junius Germanus is born from his parents Junius Germanicus and Salvine Germanicus the disputed ancestor to all Caelians Caelianus Ramnesius is born and starts his life in the city of Velia (It is disputed rather or not Caelianus ever lived in Velia or not The Caelius Clan is formed, stemming from Caelianus Ramnesius Caeliaus Ramnesius declares himself Lord Protector of the Caelians and is described as the mythical first king of the Caelians Caeliaus Ramnesius is married to his wife Zoe Horlenia Generations go by as Caeliaus Ramnesius is by legend murdered by his own son Fliione Ramnesius Fliione Ramnesius is put to death as his brother Julianus Ramnesius is declared Lord Protector of the Caelians. The Caelians exodus from the realm of Atlas to Arcas A small fringe settlement declared Caliea by Julianus Ramnesius is settled in the Western Plains south of the Korvassa Desert by the Caelians Caliea is destroyed by raiders which force the Caelians to scatter the realm The House Vlastos in particular is displaced throughout the land with the four brothers of their generation each marrying and having kids separating from each other Latinius Vlastos is recruited to the Norland Ashen Legion. News begins to reach far across the land to the Cousins of the house Vlastos that a man by the name Vlastos has been seen in the city of Morsgrad. The four Caelian cousins reunite in the city of Morsgrad (Latinius Vlastos, Efe Vlastos, Leonardo Vlastos, and Miqel Vlastos) Together the four Vlastos cousins depart from Morsgrad to found the city of Cale on top of where their fathers and their father’s fathers were raised Quickly after departing from the port of Sutica a storm picked up in the southern sea scattering the Vlastos cousins across the land once more Leonardo Vlastos crash lands at the would be location of Cale realizing Mountain dwarves by the house La’Vassieur have occupied and settled a city called Draknador in its place. Eventually Leonardo Vlastos and Latinius Vlastos reunited in a fringe port city north of the Korvassa. The two would resettle in the city of Draknador and build themselves an enlarged Insula. Over the course of 10 years Caelians would flock back to their homeland and settle within Draknador as well Eventually the Mountain Dwarf town would become overpopulated by Caelians who soon became the vast majority in the region once more. The leader of Draknador ‘Durin La’Vassieur’ would concede the city to the Vlastos family The city of Draknador is renamed to Caelia Latinius Vlastos declares himself king of the Caelians The Senate is formed with the first senate meeting taking place between ‘Latinius Vlastos, Efe Vlastos, Miqel Vlastos & Photios Velina’ Language: Caelian-Common Ave=Hello/Greetings Vale=Goodbye/farewell Femina=Woman/Lady Puella=Girl/Young Girl Vir=Man/Male Puer=Boy/Young Boy Urbis=City/Town Domus=Home Insula=Apartment Bellum=War/Conflict Expeditiem=Military Campaign Legio=Legion/Military Division Common Traits: The Caelian people will tend to have a slightly tanned olive color skin, this making them one of the palest farfolk races. Most Caelians will be shorter than most other human races on average usually standing within 5’6-5’11 feet tall. Caelians have a small array of color in their eyes and hair with most Caelians having blue, green or brown eyes and most Caelians having light or dark brown hair. Society: While the Caelian people have a republican fervor to them they have a top down approach with their societal structure, At the top of the class hierarchy is the Patrician or in some cases the King, the Patricians have their own amount of political power within the governments, being the only class where Senators can be chosen from. The Senate themselves vote in new Patrician families at their senate meetings. Below the Patrician is the Plebian, being a Plebian does not exactly mean that an individual is poor; being a Plebian is more lacking status, these people usually own property or have rooms within insulas. Below the Plebians are the Urban Poor, these are citizens who do not own property at all, and make wages below national average. At the bottom of the Societal Hierarchy is the slave; the slave is a captured individual during wars/sieges who is brought back to Caelia, with the educated becoming private tutors and the less educated being sold to foreign powers. Behavior: The typical Caelian will start their day by heading to the public forum, to talk, trade and view court cases happening, after their court cases are through they then go to their jobs which they stay at for 3 hours before most are allowed a 2 hour break, during this time Caelians will participate in leisure activities and attend the public bath house, after they are done with their two hour break they return to their job for another 3 hours of work. After they are off their jobs a Caelian can either return home or attend a dinner party, it is customary for Caelians to have open dinner parties within their villas or insulas, Caelians are expected to plan their own dinner party in the future after attending other’s dinner parties. Once they are done socializing and eating dinner they return home(If they did not throw the dinner party themselves) and go to bed to restart the process. Caelians tend to be a very accepting people, while there are some animosity between other nations and cultures, the average Caelian wont have problem socializing with another race. Festivities: Noctis Frisco: This is a Holiday held every Monday, Some Tuesdays but mostly Bi-Monthly Dies Parsdi: This is a festival celebrating the bounties of the God Parsdiem which include Partying, Wine drinking and the Arts. and shall be held every 4 years (once a month on the first Saturday of each month) Amorcalia: This is a fertility holiday held once every 4 Years (once a month on the second Saturday of each month) Res Mareus: This is a festival celebrating harvest and the bounties of the sea which is held every 4 Years (once a month on the third Saturday of each month) Caelian Triumph: This is a festival in honor of a Triumphant General after the armies they were commanding hailed them as Imperator and the senate ratifies the Triumph. This is a day of marching through the city, feasting, partying, and execution of war criminals all to honor the Triumphant. Clothing: The Caelian people mostly dress in silken, or clothy materials; some Caelians drape tabards over their plain shirts, and wear fustanella which are pleated skirt like garmets that drape down to the user’s knees. Senators and higher noble men who are not on their daily route or are going to a senate meeting often wear togas. Caelian women tend to wear 2 piece silken dresses Architecture: The Caelian build style is very unique in the land, most buildings in Caelian cities will appear to have triangular or domed roofs, some buildings may even have columns supporting the roofs.
