Hiyas All! Hopefully this message finds you all very well! I recently saw a bunch of stuff on the Free Kingdoms of Elyria and decided I want to throw my hat into the ring! I really like this game a lot and have been quietly following on the Discord. I saw this Free Kingdoms as an opportunity for somebody like me to help shape the world!
I would like to run a campaign to become a count!
Why:
Well ever since I found out about this game I have been getting involved. First it was sneaking around in discord then talking to some people and getting to know the community. I have not found any community as non-toxic as this one and I am very happy about that! I decided even though I am a nobody, I would do my best to become a somebody so that I can give back to the community! I know that the Free Kingdom would have some inherent instability and I would like to help remedy that! I don't have much affiliation with any one kingdom (I ended up settling in Vornair) and no real motives besides helping the community, so I would have the Free Kingdom's best interests at heart!
Vision
Focus: Trading and Defensive Military
The main priority is the defense and safety of my citizens, the lifeblood of the county. My secondary priority is trading and crafting from our local resources. The County aims to be a trading center for the Free Kingdom and be able to use the majority of profits from trading to support our military.
How
In terms of trading the County will focus primarily on its natural resources, which will be unique to the area. The resources will be carefully overlooked and we will craft items that will be specific to our region. If we get the desert we can craft glass ornaments and weapons, if we are in a forest biome we will ensure to make the most of our trees and other natural resources.
Government
There will be a small council to help assist me in making decision but all final decisions weigh on me. This is not a democracy. Any conflicts that do not pertain to us we will not get involved unless our trading is directly affected. We will trade to get resources we don't have naturally available, we will use our military to ensure we keep our resources.
Religion
There will be no enforced religion. All citizens are free to worship freely, unless it interferes with another’s belief or harms others. Then that religion will be banned and it’s members prosecuted. The County’s priority is the safety of it’s citizens.
Laws
The laws of the kingdom and the duchy will be loosely enforced. If they do not think of a law that can help maintain the safety of the citizens, then actions will be taken towards that! If crimes are committed the punishment will match the severity of the crime, which will be taken on a case by case basis.
Policies
Live and Let live! The County has a defensive stance by default. However if there is an issue that must be resolved immediately, necessary action will be taken. I will remain neutral to all parties in or outside my kingdom unless I have been given a reason not to!
Please drop your comments or ideas down below and help me flesh out my vision! I would love to hear from the community!
Respectfully yours
~ Silver
