The Grand County of Agrion (6 counties) is a commerce and agriculture focused county with the ultimate goal of providing everyone with the means to be successful in their trade or craft.
For convenience, I have provided the links to the Kingdom Discord below:
I have also provided links to the duchy, which also contains the other counties within the duchy:
The capital of Agrion is City of Azmar, which is home of a major branch of the Kairos school system, as well as, a major trade hub. Because Azmar will focus a lot of resources into research, businesses and citizens of Agrion alike will enjoy leading edge tech regardless of which profession or industry you are in.
We will be in the Solaris Confederation. The location of the county will be on the coast (pictured below), in the tropical rainforest (Janoa).
My goal as the Count of Agrion is to build and grow an active and prosperous community. I plan on doing this by:
I intend to fully support local businesses and crafting professions. I will provide incentives for merchants to come to Agrion to conduct their business, such as security escorts and promote the production of specialty items within the county that merchants can buy in Agrion and sell in other areas for a nominal profit. I have outlined below a list of guilds and organizations currently planned to be in the capital city, Azmar:
We will be participating in the kingdom wide research and technology initiative in the City of Azmar, the county capital. One of my priorities will be to establish a robust research and development center (10+ parcels planned) during Exposition and focus on ongoing development and maintenance of the technology centers within the city. Technology will provide several benefits, such as military superiority and quality of life for all citizens. I plan on having a dedicated space for every single profession to aid in research and tech development for that skill/profession, so no matter what business or profession you are interested in, you can rest assured you will have up to date tech. There will also be on-site housing available inside the research campus for visitors, as well as, research employees (subsidized housing available). This research site will also double as a school for students to come and learn, as well as, a place for teachers to research and teach their chosen field to the students.
The county infrastructure is an integral part of the county's success or failure. One of the many things I intend to focus on during Exposition is upgrading and developing the county's infrastructure, including but not limited to: county's farmland, roads/transportation, public structures, and defense. After Exposition, maintaining and ongoing development of the county's infrastructure will be closely monitored.
Overall, each mayor is free to run their town as they see fit, as well as, have my support in times of need. Initially, I will help the mayors succeed as much as possible by working with them during Exposition and provide as much support as I can. Furthermore, I will continue to help mayors on an ongoing basis to build roads, equip new fighters, develop trade, and whatever else I can, within reason, to help the local communities grow and prosper. Local towns will also benefit from the available tech that is output from the research campus in the City of Azmar.
I want the people of the county to feel valued as part of the community and for them to feel that their opinions matter. For example, if the majority of people want a particular structure in the county, then we can make it happen! I will strive to prioritize citizen requests that positively impact the most amount of people.
Each town will be expected to maintain a local militia force in case local bandits threaten the area or the county is called to war. As the Count of Agrion, I will help the local mayors equip and train their fighters as needed so that we can be an effective fighting force when defense is needed.
Please note this militia is in addition to the regular army provided by the Duke.
The County of Agrion is looking for people and communities who are interested in building a place to call home. We are looking for mayors, craftsmen, military, and trade orientated individuals who are looking to get involved in a supportive and ever growing community. Additionally, I plan on acquiring as much EP as I can for Exposition to get the county started off in the best possible position.
