Fenn

The Principality of Fenn is the home of the Snow Elves, though it is open to all races. It is militaristic by design with a strong focus on religion, as well as highly defensible and pretty peaceful. Fenn can be found in the north-eastern realms of Arcas 1272 / 32 / -966 and is but a stone-throw away from Cloud Temple.

Peak Times  From a wide range of players from, US, Canada, and Greece there is always someone on! But for the most part 7 Est, 6 cst, 5mst, 4Pst is the greatest burst of people within the city!
The route from cloud temple.

Notable Locations

  • Bilok’thuln~The Bilok’thuln is the backbone of the Princedom of Fenn. It is the group responsible for providing Fenn with the resources necessary to keep functioning. They have built every city, citadel, and palace that have housed Mali’fenn since almost the beginning. Structures such as Citadel of Acael, The Tundrak Palace, and The City of Tahu’lareh are some, to name a few. The Bilok’thuln mine resources, smiths, armour, weapons, cook food, tends to farmlands animals, hunt, and fish.
  • Clinic~The Tahu'lareh Clinic of Fenn is a safe, comfortable building where the sick or wounded can go to receive treatments through practical and medicinal means. The clinic is located on the bottom floor of the building with the massive's cross atop it, the floors above that reserved for the Tathvir bloodline manor.
  • Housing District~The housing district is full of not only three-floor homes for single occupants but also large homes for families. All housing is free, and not a single occupant has to pay taxes. The stewards of Fenn are more than happy to assist in any way possible regarding housing, and we’re continually updating the housing district. To ensure that we only house active citizens, weekly activity checks are conducted by the Grand Steward.
  • Ivae’fenn~Currently, the largest standing Elven military on Arcas, the Ivae'fenn stand watch over Tahu'lareh and all Fennic lands. They are tasked with defending the city and its inhabitants to the death if need be. Easily identifiable by their uniform, which bears the colour of their rank accordingly. All crime should be reported to the nearest Ivae'fenn soldier. If you wish to enlist and protect Fenn, find the nearest Ivae'fenn official, and they will guide you through the enlistment process. Snow Elves and citizens of Fenn interested in enlisting can look here:
  • Library~Over a hundred books in counting. For centuries Fenn has been at a loss of Mali’fenn writings and general knowledge about the world, but with the move to Arcas, their library has begun its constant search for books and knowledge on their own heritage.
  • The Free Market of Fenn~The Free Trade Zone at the foot of Fenn’s capital city of Tahu’lareh is a testament to the nation's freedom and independence from the outside world.TheMali’fenn of Tahu’lareh is not unwelcoming to outsiders and tradespeople of life, as they view the division of race and class to be unimportant and redundant. Getting your own stall is as simple!
  • Tavern~The Silver Snowflake is frequently bustling with the clangour of bottles accompanied by a steady roar of voices. The bar acts as the very lifeblood of the tavern, supplying a steady stream of unique beverages imported from all across Arcas. Every week, new drinks are swapped out for the old ones, each of which is sold at a fair and honest market price. Located no more than twenty feet from the last seat of the bar is the primary source of drinking entertainment for the patrons of the Silver Snowflake: the local fight pit. Here, the ordinary laws of the Princedom are cast aside, following a unique set of rules. Disagreements and disputes are commonly settled within the borders of the fight pit, as are fun challenges and tournaments. While most outsiders will view the fight pit as a barbaric source of entertainment hidden within the confines of a well-masked tavern, the citizens of Fenn see it as a way to let off steam and keep their skills sharp for what the future may hold.
  • Temple of Wyrvun ~The Temple of Wyrvun is a place of worship, and forum. It is made up of a long hall with a giant statue of Wyrvun at the back end of it with glass-stained windows to the side and two towers on either side of the building. The two on the front are much larger than the two in the centre. In the centre of the building, is a podium for different speakers and priests to place their things as they commence different rituals or explain different ideas and topics. Just in front of the podium is a sacrificial table where different animals are taken and given as a sacrifice to the six aengul and aelor of Wryvun.

Irrinor

Irrinor is the homeland of the Wood Elven people on the continent of Arcas. It is the centre of the elnarnsae’ame- the wilderness faith that forms the core of wood elven culture. The town was more grown than it was built, and visitors will be able to marvel at the massive trees that shade the naturalistic forest paths, and the austere shrines to the Mani spirits that the locals worship. Homes are built into the trees themselves as if woven seamlessly into nature. X 1657, Z -665The Nation is quite close to the Princedom of Fenn, to get there from Cloud Temple, follow the signs leading to Fenn, before you arrive, there will be a detour path from the main road labelled “Irrinor”, follow that to the city.

Peak Times  Late afternoon EST (6-10PM), however we have a sizable GMT and AEST community for all you Aussies and Europeans out there.
The route from cloud temple.

Notable Locations and Information

  • Clinic~The clinic within Irrinor is home to many skilled healers. The Mali that runs this clinic uses their extensive knowledge of the natural remedies that they believe their gods have blessed them with to cure illness and treat physical harm. These methods are especially effective when an attuned drui' enhances the physical properties of the herbs used through the gift of their magic. More than just healing is offered at the clinic within Irrinor. Any Mali seeking to learn the healing arts may also petition the lower council member assigned to run the clinic for lessons in the arts.
  • Housing~The wood elves of Irrinor prefer to make their homes high off of the forest floor. One with nature, they build their homes around the trunks of great trees that stretch into the sky, creating platforms that reach around the trunk of the tree that link with one another with a series of walkways. This, however, does not mean that they limit themselves to the trees as many seeds will make their clan halls on the forest floor. It is, however, the ideology of the wood elves to live with nature, rather than exploit and develop the lands to suit their needs.
  • Omentahu~The Seed is the principal unit by which the core of Mali’ame society runs, and this must be reflected in Irrinor, the principal home of all Mali’ame. Located within the centre of Irrinor, this giant tree serves as many things, but as you reach the top, you can spot the council chambers where events such as the Omentahu are held. The system of Diarchy that ruled us during the inception of our young country did not correctly represent the tribal bodies that make up the heart of our society. Therefore, to ensure stability in our homeland, the power of government must be put in the hands of a council of Seed Chieftains, headed by an elected High Chieftain. The Omentahu is formed of two parts- the High Chieftain of Irrinor, and the Council of Roots.
  • Okarn’ame ~ el'Okarn'ame, or the Forest Guard of Irrinor, is the primary military force of the Forest Realm. While their main focus is the defence of Irrinor's people, they also march out to eradicate unnatural threats to the world and assist Irrinor's friends and allies. It is headed by an Annilir, the commander in common terms, who leads el'Okarn'ame with a left and right hand known as Medirir. To find them, one must only visit Irrinor itself to see the elven guards going about their day-to-day.
Religon

Aspectism:a wood elven belief. Aspectism is the ritual worship of the two gods of the wild, Cernunnos and Cerridwen. It is the main religion of the Wood-elves. It is the central pillar to the Wood Elves culture, tradition and identity.

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.

    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.

    Talus Grove of the Druidic Order

    The Talus Grove is inhabited by the Mother Circle of the Druidic Order, though all Druids may call it home. It is grown into the rise of a scree upon a fork in the South-West running river and despite the dry savanna-like climate, the Grove itself is lush with hardy shrubs, bushes and trees. The Grove serves as a place to teach aspiring and young Druids, as well as a base of operations from which Druids conduct their vigil over nature.

    Nakamachi

    The culture of the Shinrin (Nakamachi) can most aptly be compared to that of the ancient samurai. Guided by their code of conduct and their dedication to the different spirits they perceive as integral to their way of life, the Shinrin are a people driven by honor and spiritual dedication. With a strict hierarchy bound to a ruling lord, the Shinrin may often be found training or else practicing various arts in the form of painting, music, and gardening.

    Religon

    The Shinrin are a very spiritual people, living their lives based on a code of honor in reverence to a variety of spirits they view as responsible for everything in their lives. In some cases, it has become the practice to acknowledge certain spirits as those of great ancestors who were the personification of something while they were alive and so must be responsible for it in death. An example of this might be a woman who dedicated all her time to keeping her garden pristine and productive. In death, this spirit may be prayed to for growth and prosperity of gardens.

    Notable information and places
    • 'Racial Prejudices~Since the old times of the Shinrin, it has been generally acknowledged that the Shinrin have few issues with other races. Typically those who were not Shinrin were welcome to visit Shinrin settlements, though they were very rarely welcome to live their. There have certainly been rare cases of this occurrence but only in cases where the newcomers have proven capable of replicating the Shinrin way of life.
    • 'Language of the Shinrin'~This would all but obliterate their original language from common use, even evolving so far as to cause the loss of accents when speaking common. In present times the only remnant of their original language would be that of a number of titles in the hierarchy of the society or other similarly rare examples. For example:“The duty of a Samurai is to his lord, the Daimyo.”
