Overview
The Coalition is made up of Nobles and Aristocrats along with their members that plan on claiming the Duchy of Valor Height by means of Casus Belli, Featherdale by means of Reserve Auction as well as a select few counties in Whiteraven Rock within the Kypiq biome of Broadleaf Forest in the Kingdom of Tryggr.
We are the largest Kypiq player base on the Selene server in addition to having to most Neran landowner outside of Mixed Leaf Forest within the Kingdom of Tryggr. We are focused on the preservation of Kypiq Culture and Religion without restricting those who would like to play other tribes within our borders working together to increase sustainability and productivity through means of our differences.
The Coalition Duchies allow for a diversity of tribes and even includes some Hrothi settlements. With countless viable professions to choose from the Coalition encompasses every walk of life. Since being somewhat removed from the Kingdom we pride ourselves on self-sustainability and self-sufficiency. The Coalition is aimed at those seeking to improve their lot in life.
Geography
The Coalition is situated within the Broadleaf Forest with multiple Ironwood settlements as well as both Kypiq, Neran and Hrothi terrestrial settlements within its border. Boasting some of the highest elevations and longest coastal shores when including Whiteraven Rock within the kingdom. Numerous estuary runs from near centralized locations through hills and peaks with majestic waterfalls being the source. Large inland lakes are scattered throughout the Coalition perfect for localized trade and transport.
Demographic
The Coalition is situated within the Kypiq biome, which is the majority tribe within the duchy but showcases the largest Neran population within the Broadleaf Forest. Small scattered amount of Hrothi can also be found with the most concentrated amount found in the Counties of Darkanchor Grave and Ballyboulder.
Our own personal player base is mostly Europeans, North Americans and Southern African with a substantial LGBTQ+ community.
Aim
The Coalition plans on being self-sufficient and self-sustaining in addition to upholding the values of each tribe housed in our border.
We are focused on using traditional Kypiq methods to ensure higher sustainability within the Coalition by means of forestry and higher technological processes rarely found outside of the Broadleaf.
The Aganju nature reserve made up of the Counties of Lower Olive, Amber End and Driftpool serve to survey fauna and flora within the duchy due the large amount and notability of Rangers present. Creating a safe haven for wildlife and plants within the reserve. Close observation of animals will allow for seasonal culling by Neran rangers to ensure the natural balance is kept and resources will go toward the respective craftsman.
Finite resources will be mined at optimal levels by Hrothi miners and queries with waste deposited in protected areas for refining as technology advances by our Kypiq researchers. Recycling of metals will also be at the forefront and be used to recast armors and items as the natural progression of technique improve. Since the biome is more focused on Ironbark production metal will only be used if Ironbark isn't a viable replacement.
Thanks to our high renewable resource count, we aim to achieve a high export rates and lower import thus creating a surplus of wealth which will allow for further advancement.
The Coalition would ideally work as a production line with raw resources and agriculture being situated toward the centre, followed by crafting, production and warehousing towns and Counties towards the middle of the band. Finally, military, trade and high-level crafting, which derives components from multiple central band crafters, would reside closer to the borders using the river systems, land vehicles and sea to trade.
Method of Casus Belli (If needed)
In order to achieve the Casus Belli, a Count vying for the position (in this case myself) has 1 of 3 options. In the case of Valor Heights, we have opted for the first condition set out by the Casus Belli guidelines which stipulates 25% of the Dukes (3 Dukes) and the Monarch need to support the motion. The Coalition currently meets the mentioned requirements as the Dukes and Duchesses as well as the Monarch of Tryggr have given their support for this undertaking.
