Goals and Laws of the County
The primary goal of the County of Manaan is set upon a code of ethics and honor, but also ambition to improve our lands, wealth, and power. We will have a set of laws and goals for the County.
- Citizens of the County must protect and serve the County.
- Crimes such as Murder, thievery, destruction of property, etc... will be handled by the Court system.
- Treason is punishable to the highest extents of the law.
- The goal of citizens in Manaan is to always strive for better things. To improve our economy, military might, resources, technology, and influence throughout the Kingdom.
- When the County is under siege by either marauders or an opposing military force, the Count and his Council will institute a Draft of all available citizens to take up arms. As you are not just defending the noble house, you are defending your own house, your family, your possessions, and your own life.
- We will harbor those who discover they have special Talents. And give them a place to grow and to not only help themselves, but to put their skills to use for the good of others.
Military Might
For our military we will have a variety of systems in place. We will be working toward having the most advanced Ranged Weaponry we can, as well as mastery itself over Ranged Combat. Every soldier will carry into battle some way to deal with an enemy at a distance, even if that weapon is a simple spear. Our county military will be joined by the military might of the Order of the IX, which the Count is a Captain in.
Ranking in the military is done by a numbered system much like a line of succession. The number 1 seat is the Count, and continues downward in rank. There will be a max of 30 seats of rank, all military members under rank 30 will be of equal rank.
Economy
We will have a variety of guilds that will welcome in the County of Manaan, including the Banking guilds. We will strive to improve our economy through the improvement of technology and crafting items that the people need. One such Guild that is prominent in Manaan is the Order of the IX, a guild made up of Counts, Barons, Mayors, and more all working together for the betterment of the Guild and of the Kingdom.
Our main sources of income will be in woodwork, farming, architecture, animal breeding, and of course trade. We will be in an area that is ocean adjacent. We will have roadways and we will produce boats for economic trade routes.
We will also be using the lumber to produce advanced siege equipment and the most advanced ranged weaponry.
County Mascot
The County’s mascot is the Falcon. Because of its great speed and sight, it is capable of seeing far ahead and flying with agility and precision. It strikes as fast as lightning.
House Fulmine
We are dedicated to making this County the greatest place for people to live. Offering a place with great resources, knowledge, technology, and safety. It is known that one of the greatest weapons, the bow, is able to kill at a distance. And House Fulmine is dedicated to making the greatest weapons for doing just that. A soldier that cannot even reach our walls, is no longer a threat.
