Human Nations & Charters
Kaedrin
The Golden City, the Serene City, and the Principality of Ves. In the elfish tongue, she goes by Ellaurehsae ay' Ves.
Constituted by the preambles, stipulations, amendments, and penumbras of the Golden Charter, the city prides itself upon constitutional government. Inspired by a great lineage of tradition and precedent, the people of Ves brought the Free Charter of 1706 before their liege lord, Duke Paul II of Adria, for his signature to secure the rights and liberties of the municipality. Nearly a decade later in the year 1714, the city would declare itself free from the rule of the Dukes of Adria, and the people would establish self-government. Ves is a republic governed by the Serene Assembly, a legislative body which is composed by lottery and by family right every four years. The assembly elects from among the patrician families of Ves a prince that might lead her as head of state, who rules for life. While holding the title prince, this title is by no means inheritable: for the city is free and immune from serfdom, and along with it the archaic feudal practices of yore. The populace of Ves, along with their prince, are legally referred to as burghers, but within this category are subdivided the patricians, clergy, and freemen.

Curon
The Kingdom of Curonian is situated in the Snowy Northeastern regions of Arcas. The capital city of Avalain is a true splendour to behold with its towering structures and powerful defences. The Curonian people are a vast and diverse group housing almost every form of the race on the continent. Human, Elf, Orc, Dwed, etc. all are welcome within the Kingdoms cities and lands to live.
The Kingdom is ruled on a system of primogeniture succession, meaning that the Kingdom will always be governed by a King who will then be succeeded by his eldest son. No daughter or woman of the royal house shall ever inherit the throne, title, or lands of the Kingdom.
The Curonian Council surrounds the King. This council is made up out of leading individuals in all aspects of leadership, namely the Military, Navy, Mayoral office, Stewardry and Ambassadorship relations.
The Kingdom of Curonian first started as the County of Cyrilsburg under the rule of Count Wilhelm I Devereux. After a golden age set in within the County’s lands, its status was elevated to that of a Dukedom where it received the new title, the Duchy of Curon. As the years went on and the new Duchy continued to grow and expand its wealth and power throughout the lands of Atlas, Emperor Augustus I saw it fit to further promote the Duchy to the rank of a Kingdom after Curon’s decisive victory against the Duchy of Adria in the Gentleman's War of 1700. The ceremony was performed in the Blessed Cathedral of Saint Johannes in Cyrilsburg, on looked by a large crowd of both Imperial, Curonian, Haenseti and Adrian nobility and citizens. From that moment on the nation became known as the Kingdom of Curonia.
