ᚺᛁᛖᚱᚨᚱᚲᚺᚤ ᛟᚠ ᛚᚤᛟᚾ - Hierarchy of Ljón
Rulers and Holds
The Archduke is the sovereign Ruler of the Ljón realm with a Brigade of more than 5000 menn.
Each county and hold in the realm is ruled by a Count, Earl or Jarl. A noble Chieftain who follows the Margrave, a territorial Governor and count coordinator within the realm representing the voice of his people and voted by them throughout the Moot of his grand domain following the Archduke with a Battalion of 500 menn. The Earl makes up the auxiliary company and rules a more military focused county as his counterpart, the Count and the Jarl would be an Earl with the Archduke's backing in military affairs to protect the realm with a company of more than 100 menn. The Viscount is the second of the Count, the trusted regent of his domain.
Advisors of the realm in crucial and peaceful times are the Thanes, guiding and advising its Ruler for all kinds of situations. The right hand of the Archduke and regents of the realm, embodying his wrath or love and shall he ever be unattainable, are the Elders acting as seconds in command of the Realm.
Settlements and Dens
Each settlement and den in the realm is governed by a Lendr, Hauldr or Baron who follows the Count, a noble Chieftain within the realm leading the people of his domain and its several settlements. The Hauldr makes up the auxiliary platoon and governs a more military focused settlement as his counterpart, the Lendr and the Baron would be a Hauldr with the Archduke's backing in military affairs to protect the realm with a platoon of more than 25 menn.
Army and Warriors
Most devoted Warriors, the Wiga tend to live on the borders and coasts of the Ljón Realm. Prepared to follow the call of the Hauldr and Earls as auxiliary and reserved military of the Archduke, they make themselves ready with own armor and weapons, organized by their officers, the Gedrihts.
Barons are backed by the Archduke, they would be supplied with armor and weapons from tax money, and organized with the help of the royal officers. The Huskarls follow their baron and lead a Squad of 12 or more menn. The Fyrd are the official warriors of the Royal Army.
Free and contracted menn make up the Ljón army. Some Leaders without political governance have their own War Clans and may join the Ljón Banner of the Archduke as Merks, clanleaders of more than 100 menn or as Rauders, clanleaders of more than 25 menn. The Vanir are the elite warriors of Ljón, they can act independently from any clan.
Citizen and Folk
The Citizen of Ljón aim to follow a free life to still their desire of freedom, may it be in challenges, wars, craftsmanship or research, they may find it in every possible aspect there is and come together if the time comes to band and hold the banner to fight for the realm. The freeman join the Banner of Ljón as Wiga or Fyrd to follow the warring call of the Archduke Rojax Lyon to fight for the realm.
Dotting the country side will be strongholds composed of Warriors and Orders, you may find more often in the southern Borders and Coasts.
Ljón prides itself on his naval power as one of the best sailors, expeditioners, smiths and shipbuilders there is, from metalworking all the way to woodworking from the deep forests and ores of the Taiga and Alpine.

As early backers of CoE, we own a developer design experience to create our own combat style. The package was originally called Chimera. Ljón will be home to this unique combat style and those who know the style will be among our elite forces.
• Sophisticated Land and Naval trade system
Our land trade system will be clever and laid down with quality roads to support long distances with heavy cargo, as well as our naval trade system with strategic ports to hold long distances quicker and secured.
• Health care system
We will have a health care system for our players, to govern healthiness, cure diseases and create potions for survivability.

Core Values of the Archduchy:
Trust, Freedom, Creativity
Realm Motto: From Knowledge Comes Power!
Realm Theme: Viking, Anglo-Saxon around 900 AD Medieval
Style of leadership is to listen to and encourage individual players in their interests and projects. Leaders will mentor players to take on positions of leadership when the game launches.
We will focus on several areas to grow our economy:
Building Infrastructure. We will focus on roads, bridges, and ports. This will allow merchants to quickly move resources from their origin to centralized strategically placed markets. These trade routes must be secured and placed strategically via coordination of the chieftains within the realm to allow safe trading from raids, wars and bandits.
Increase demand. Build the population by creating a fun place to be with lots of activities, including carnivals, arenas and games of chance.
Focus on research and development. It will be new technologies that will usher in economic prosperity.
Fair taxes. Create taxes that generate enough income for infrastructure but do not represent a burden for citizens.
Fair laws. Don’t create laws which hamper economic development. I have heard a Duke say he was going to ban weapons in his Duchy. This would clearly hamper economic development and has other inherent flaws.
