Kingdom of Emlyn

From Sanctuary Shard

Revision as of 16:13, 10 June 2019 by MamaWillow (talk | contribs)

The Kingdom of Emlyn is like cool water on jagged rocks. The capital, Caerleon, is forged of strength and honor, unyielding stone encircling what many would consider an impregnable fortress. It is both home to legend and valor, those who reside being practical in nature. Residents tend to be Human or Hoggur

“Honor and valor before pride and glory!” Is a motto of Emlynians.

Plain speech description. Notes copied from other page: English, Gaelic, King Arthur, Knights, Avalon Based on the statics for Ulster -- "strength and honor" This kingdom is about tradition and its focus is often on the past, the occupants tend to be resistant to change.

Governance
The ruling house of Emlyn is usually one of a handful of knight orders present in the kingdom, each ruled by a warrior.
The native people of Sanctuary are have become accustomed to unusual and sweeping changes in the leadership and ruling class of their individual kingdoms as noble houses, both great and small ever vie for control of the lands. This fiction is brought to life in the web-based game RPCSS which allows for player teams to compete for control of estates, strongholds, castles and the five capitals. However, each kingdom has its own traditions of leadership, some of which have been in implementation for centuries.
