The City of Azmar, the capital city of the Duchy of Acrium, is a commerce and research focused city with the ultimate goal of providing everyone with the means to be successful in their trade or craft. The City of Azmar is currently planned to be approximately 300+ parcels large and host every trade and profession. Azmar will also focus resources into research in order to enable businesses and citizens of all professions to enjoy leading-edge tech.
For convenience, I have provided the links to the Kingdom Discord below:
I have also provided a link to the duchy, which contains links to the counties within the duchy:
The location of the city is on the coast, inside the Grand County of Agrion.
My goal, as the Mayor of Azmar, 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 Azmar to conduct their business, such as security escorts, and I will promote the production of specialty items within the city, which can be sold in other areas for a nominal profit. I have outlined below a list of guilds and organizations currently planned to be in Azmar:
One of my priorities will be to establish a robust research and development center (10+ parcels planned) during Exposition and focus on 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 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 city infrastructure is an integral part of the city's success or failure. One of the many things I intend to focus on during Exposition is upgrading and developing the city's infrastructure, including but not limited to: farmland, free public transportation, public structures, and defense. After Exposition, maintenance and ongoing development of the city's infrastructure will be closely monitored.
Below, you will see a randomly generated map of what I envision the city to look like and how large I plan on it to be.
Overall, each citizen is free to run their area as they see fit, as well as, have my support in times of need. I will help the citizens succeed by working with them during Exposition and providing as much support as I can. Furthermore, I will continue to help citizens on an ongoing basis to build city infrastructure, equip new fighters, develop trade, and whatever else I can, within reason. Local communities will also benefit from the available tech that is output from the research campus.
I want the people of the city to feel valued as part of the community and to feel that their opinions matter. For example, if the majority of people want a particular structure in the city, then we can make it happen! I will strive to prioritize citizen requests that positively impact the most amount of people. A few of the avenues available to citizens will be a monthly town hall meeting, specially designated request channels in Discord, and an open door policy.
Each town within the County of Agrion will be expected to maintain a local military force in case local bandits threaten the area or the county is called to war. Azmar is no exception. I will ensure the city has a defensive force by providing incentives and training 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 City of Azmar is looking for people who are interested in building a place to call home. We are looking for council members, 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 city started off in the best possible position.
