The Duchy of Prismatia
Located within the Kingdom of Valyria on the NA-W server, the Duchy of Prismatia intends to become a vibrant centre of trade and culture. We encourage those from any and all backgrounds to come and make their home here, and to share their goods, customs, and knowledge.
As well as that, we're also eager to see people go off and explore; discovering new lands and bringing home their grand tales, maps, and heaps of treasure
Ideals
We advertise Prismatia as a home to all, and as such it is of great importance that we advocate respect and tolerance. We follow the belief that diversity of mind and opinion is paramount to the success of a community, provided that mutual respect and understanding is held above all. We aim to have a good time and do our best to get along with one another; encouraging each other to be open and involving with our fellow citizens.
Aside from that, Prismatia has ambitions to not only make our home and allies as prosperous as we can, but to also seek out new lands. With the support of our southern neighbors and the guidance of the Torchlight Initiative, we seek to settle and establish colonies on the Farside in order to further not only ourselves, but those we care about and work with. If that sounds up your alley, then this may just be the duchy for you!
Trade
Prismatia endeavours to prosper in trade and economics, and desires to forge a safe, structured, and thriving environment in which merchants and traders from all over feel comfortable to sell their goods and services. Prismatia offers quite some advantages when it comes to trade, such as a lack of domestic tariffs and open interior borders (unless a count specifies otherwise), as well as tax reductions, and guaranteed deals with our duchal neighbours.
Culture
It's very much in our interest to forge a sense of uniqueness unseen in most places. While the local culture always shall be respected, we very much want to encourage an air of openness and honesty. This can be seen most clearly in our celebration of Veil Day; harkening back to a time long passed in where the Duchess of Prismatia revealed a secret that would forever change the face of the duchy.
As well as Veil Day, we have a range of festivals and events in the works that we'd love to see you participate in!
