County Goal -> Who are we?

As a part of the Kingdom of Ashland and the Duchy of Le Clair, Taalgrimm County will primarily be a Hrothi County. We are located in Le Clair which is a Coastal Duchy with many minerals and farmland/fishing. There is a river connecting most of the County for easy travel and sustainability. We will be focusing on Military, Martialsmith (Weapons & Armor), Trade as the primary and everything else secondary based on needs. We strive as a whole Duchy to excel at pushing tech and learning as much as possible.

We will have a high degree of interest in both weapon and armour crafting, and will gladly accept anyone looking for such roles.

Since we will have a rather large focus on our military, as a resident you can expect a well secured environment in which to live and thrive.

Game plan:

Early Game

Since the early game will be our first point inside of the world of Elyria, a lot of our time will be spent setting the foundation for the future. We will be setting up quarries and smithies, settling land claiming as well as defense plans.

There will be a large focus in early game of setting up shops and establishing our primary crafts. The sooner we get the crafters going, the sooner we have a fully functional economy.

Being a Militaristic Focused County military occupations will be quite sought after. They will include pay, free armor, military discounts, pensions, promotional advancements, housing and food and more.

Long Term

We will maintain a strong military presence even during peacetime. Always improving our skills, knowledge and equipment. Taalgrimm County will keep the peace within the Duchy as well as provide troops to various duchies on the front lines for proper defense.

One of the big goals of our county is the production of both weapons and armours for the purpose of selling them throughout the duchy. Not to say that smiths will be the only crafters we are after though. Along with smithies, we will be looking for merchants, woodworkers, miners, hunters, masons, tailors, and basically any other production and gathering roles. Tavern Owners or Farmers/Fishmen are a great addition as well to feed such a thriving military force.

Schools:

Here in Taalgrimm County, we will strive to be on the forefront of crafters throughout the entire world. To that end, we will be investing heavily in the education of anyone interested in improving their crafting skills. To that end, we already have certain guilds established to focus on those aspects, but we would be willing to open more should the interest be present.

Guilds:

• Weaponsmith’s (Order of The Celtic Axe)
• Armorsmith’s (Order of The Blackstone Anvil)
• Tailor’s (Order of The Silver Thread)
