The kingdom of Zzyathis

Brothers and sisters, and all children of Tanora.
The time to build up and restore the lands we have claimed is now finally here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Borders:
We of the lizardous people have claimed this land as the one to build our city on.


A map is under construction.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leadership:
The current leadership has been changed and the new one will be posted below.

The new leadership consist of four rulers. One to control the magical buissness within the kingdom, one to control the financial buissness within and without the kingdom, one to control the military buissness in town, and one to control the Temple and Tanora's wishes. Each ruler have a set of underlings. Here is a simplified version of this:

Financial leader > Councellor
Military leader > Militia leader > City/royal guard captain
High Priest/ess > Priests
High Mage/ss > Royal battlemages > City mage guild

Currently the city lacks the presence of a High Priest/ess and a High Mage/ss, but we will send for both and both should soon be filled out.

Current Rulers:

Military: Gil'Dran > Militia: Skaalib > City/Royal guard captain: Ssafar
Financial Leader: Taliss Kazzxs Councellor: Narkissa Kazzxz
High Priest/ess: Chiccec > Priests: None yet
High Mage/ss: Unfilled > Royal battlemages: None yet > None created yet

Spy network leader: Droplet

Under this rulership there will be a City Council consisting of chosen citizens to act as the voice of the people. Every citizen can tell their complaints to a Councilmember and we shall take it up on the next meeting.

Currently I, Gil'Dran, will have no significant power as the Military leader, even if I do get a say in everything, my current Underling, Skaalib will work out most of the things that is involved with his area of expertise.

The treasury will be held by the Financial leader. The city plans will be changed to best preform it's defensive purpouse by the Military leader. The High Priest/ess will rule over the temple and the Templarers under Tanora herself, as allways. The High Mage/ss will rule over the kingdoms intelligence agency and the magical defences and offenses of the City.


Voting:

Each ruler gets one vote, to what to do with the money in the treasury at every meeting, what to do about the alliances and surrounding nature and the like. Their underlings, for example, all Priests ONLY get ONE vote. So all priests work as a whole with their vote, exactly as the councellors, Royal Battlemages and the Militia leaders. The city council acts as the voice of the people, and get one vote aswell. So they should know what to best place their vote at, asking the people about their wishes.

Current list of Citizens:
Gashj
Srenszor
Sslastesten
Ssarrissalk
Marlik Jolibio
Hayrr Zzsathys
Sanazry

(The leaders and their underlings are not normal citizens and are therefor not on the list.)

Current holdings of the Treasury:

Money
Silver: 219
Copper: 0

Supplies/Resources:

Naldor Logs: 0
Apple Logs: 0
Conifer Logs: 0
Cherry Logs: 0
Apple Boards: 0
Conifer logs: 0
Units of Sand: 0
Bricks: 500
Nails: 100
Sheets of Iron: 30

Laws of the Kingdom:

§1: Visitors.
In the past there have been strong differences and even hatred between the lizard people and the ones my people call “landlings”. I wish it to be known that this shall be the past for we wish a time of peace and prosperity to fall over our lands and all who are willing to respect Tanora and the people of this land are welcome.

§1.1: Weapon Restriction.
No weapons should be drawn on the holy soil unless it is truly needed. If this law is broken the law breaker shall have to pay a fine for the misdeed and ask for forgiveness from mother, as it shall be her land. The fine will be used to improve our city and economy.

§1.2: Killing/murdur.
No living thing shall be killed on the lands unless it poses a threat to the lives of others. If this rule is broken said person will be banned for life from the holy grounds for tainting it and shall be forcibly removed if needed.

§1.3: The Holy Soil.
The holy grounds must be cared for with the greatest respect, therefore no litter shall be dropped or the water tainted with waste products. If one feels the need to break this law they will clean the land. If this is broken more than 3 times said person will be banned from the lands until the council says otherwise.

§1.4: Guests.
Guests to the land must be respectful to mother and under any circumstance, never insult her. If the person feels it needed to insult mother on our holy grounds they shall be dealt with harshly and judged by the council to decide their fate.

§1.5: Worship.
The lands are for the worship of Zelphia only and no one should worship any other deity on these Holy lands. Said person can be removed if they feel the need to worship another god. This of course is not to put down other gods as most hold importance to the land.

§2: Resources.
I have discovered an abundant amount of pearls surrounding our lands as well as various mineral deposits under the seas. I realize these could hold strong value in various aspects including jewelry craft though it is asked and strongly suggested for your own health that any that are not citizens of Zzyathis that you do not attempt to harvest these resources.

§2.1: Treecutting.
The Cutting of trees is allowed on our lands though it is asked that should a tree die to report its death to the council with the proper seed to have it restored.

§3: Fighting.
Training is permitted within our lands though strictly forbidden within the temple. All other fighting, such as attacking another person without allowance will lead to trial and will be put into the hands of the council.

§4: Criminal Fugitives.
All criminals wanted in another province of the isle may be removed by the city guard captain assigned to that provice. We do NOT want anything to do with any criminals, and should they prove hostile towards our citizens, proper actions will be executed by our Royal/City guard.

§5: Temple district.
The Temple is our expression of our love and worship for Mother. All Temple rules shall be strictly enforced.

§5.1: Ceremonies.
During a ceremony guests must be seated quietly so the priest may speak in peace. If a person finds they must speak over or even whisper when not needed they shall be removed until the ceremony is over. If they refuse to leave, force may be used against them, but if they react with hostility then they will be cut down.

§5.2: Fighting inside the temple district is strictly prohibited.

§6: Changes.
Changes to the law or the creation of another law can be requested by any citizen to the council, wich will take it up in the next meeting with the current ruling characters of the Kingdom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peace treaties:

Currently we have no peace treaties, and we stay neutral to every faction on the isle. As we have changed leadership and the like, all peace treaties have to be renewed and this shall be done as soon as possible. If you wish to discuss this matter, send either of the rulers a letter and then all of the rulers will come to discuss the details in person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Current plans of the city:

We intend to focus on building a wall around our borders to mark our border properly. A stone wall will be made. After the walls location is planned, we will commence to clear out and replant the forest inside our borders otherwise.

After this is done, we will focus on marking out buildings locations, the cost and what it will be needed to raise the buildings properly. Starting with repairing, building onto what's needed to the Temple, then building a shop, workshop, inn, tavern, and living quarters of the current leading characters of the kingdom and the city council. After this, citizens can request a patch of land to build a house upon, wich the financial leader then will help plan, but not pay, as the 'house owner' will pay for this him/herself.

We are sending an message to the Capital City of the lizards to send us a High Priest/ess and hope they have one to spare.

Citizen I am. See though my name I do not. Add my name Taliss has not. To him you should ask of my citizenship.

[Llama]

This is something I suggest, an economy system for Zzyathis and its people; since we are a small group, and we are all close.

There is a new parchment stuck below

Zzyathis' Economy
-----------------

The economy should allow the citizens to be one with the city.

A pool of items should be created, and held by the council member responsable for the economy. These items will be obtained by asking the lizard folk to donate them to the city, if they have no need for them.


The raw materials, (leather, thread and the like), will be used to help train lizardfolk crafters in order to produce more items for the city. These items can be easily collected, and are free for all lizard folk, since they are the city.

In other words, the city's citizens will help the city's crafters, and the city's crafters will help the citizens once again.

This will allow a cycle of resources, which would mean that, if the citizens continue to bring items inwards; the economy can only grow stronger.

There will be no need for the changing of coins amoungst our brothers and sisters, after all , we are one in front of Mother's eyes.

It will be discussed.

Although I find it better if we set up trade routes with other cities, such as sand from Varshikar, and different ores from Silverbrand, before we do this. Then we can have our current crafters craft items wich we will later sell, improving both their skill in the craft and to put more money in our treasury for the purpouse of building.

Lord Gil'Dran, the Reborn

[Skaalib Drurr]

The planned wall will be a huge waste of money, and the construction of such a wall seems to undermine what we as are people are now trying to achieve.
Skaalib

[Gil'Dran]

I see the military defensive value of the wall. It will be needed if we got under siege. I only work as to the best of our people, and a good offense is a good defense. When I find a proper mapper, I shall present to him the plans of the city then I shall present to you how the city is to be built for the best of defense. It does not undermine anything of what we are to archieve, it merely is there for our own protection.

You will have to attend to our next meeting, and we shall further discuss it, my friend.

Lord Gil'Dran, the Reborn

[Skaalib Drurr]

I hereby declare Ssafar a criminal. Either due action is taken, or I shall have to take the matter into my own hands. He has insulted me, calling me a bad lizard. This cannot be tolerated.
Skaalib

[Gil'Dran]

Do not rush. He has a right to a trial to speak for himself. I will not see you banning our Royal/City guard captain without a proper trial.

Lord Gil'Dran, the Reborn

[Lance Thunnigan]

Greetings Gil'Dran, my old friend.
I await to hear from you again,

~Chiccec

[Hadre Taliset]

Your own quarrel this be Skallib. Done wrong Safar as. Banished he should not. Few and far between we lizards are, value our brethren we should.

*a long thin clawmark*
Sanazry

[Gil'Dran]

After a meeting with the now three ruling leaders we have come up with the plans for the ciry wall, and how much it will cost us. I also would like you to hail Chiccec as the new High Priest for our temple. I welcome him with my whole heart.

List of resources needed for the wall:

500 / 5400 Brickstones
0 / 2160 units of sand
0 / 162 buckets of water
0 / 54 shovels

The price for the two gates:
0 / 80 Naldor logs
40 / 40 Nails
0 / 2 saws

The wall will be made thick and when it is done we will move on to reinforcing the bridge with stone, also maing it twice as wide to fit with the gates for the wall. I do not know the prices for this yet, but we shall figure it out.

"I can donate the nails. Send me a dove.
Maybe I can also organize the logs and saws.

Sorry that I cant donate my brickets and my sand,

Magnus Magnol"

[Zharukkal]

I hereby declare Ssafar a criminal. Either due action is taken, or I shall have to take the matter into my own hands. He has insulted me, calling me a bad lizard. This cannot be tolerated.
Skaalib

a note has been placed directly underneath the above
Are you planning on cutting down every lizard that insults or disagrees with you, Skaalib?
And how exactly is this not to be tolerated? I find this incredibly easy to tolerate and not at all surprising.
Then again I know you for the coward and fool that you really are!

~~Zharukkal

[Skaalib Drurr]

Now I have had a good night's sleep, I realise my words were perhaps a little hasty. And I shall take this no further.
Skaalib

[Hadre Taliset]

Emissary there should be. Vote for lizards in external afiars and spread the word of lizards and to make it ones business the happenings of other towns and guilds they would, then report to the council. Time no council member has for duties of thier own occupy them.

((edit: Translation for those that i confuse:))
There should be an emissary to vote for lizards in external affairs and spread the word of lizards. As well to make it their business to know the happenings of all other towns and guilds. Then they would report what they have learned to the council and the rest of the kingdom. Other lizards with other positions do not have time as their own duties make them very busy.((In real life you would need a traveler to go from town to town to read the boards and such, they wouldn't all be gathered in one spot like here))

Liebe Leute

Ich grüsse euch als Weitreisender und als Bürger von Greenbriar. Ich sende euch auch die Grüsse von Rat und Bürgerschaft von Briar.

Ich habe viel Gerüchte gehört über das neue Reich Zzathies. Deshlab hab ich eine grosse Reise auf mich genommen, um neues zu entdecken und Kontakte zu knüfpen mit den Wesen auf den Inseln von Sirani. Leider fand ich nur Einsamkeit und Ruhe vor. Es steht zwar da ein wunderschöner Tempel oder so was auf eine künstlichen Insel, aber es gibt kein Leben hier. Das finde ich schade.
Ich wünsche den Bürger und den Oberen des Reiches Zzathies gutes Gedeihen ihres Aufbaus des Reiches und hoffe, dass ich bald einmal in Kontakt treten kann mit Vertreterinnen und Vertreter dieses Reiches.

Gehabt euch wohl

Arnold Winkelried, Weitreisender und Bürger von Greenbriar

[Gil'Dran]

Magnus Magnol. It would help us to create what we are aiming for. For now, we are trying to build up the walls, and wait to build the gates until the walls are finally built. But this would indeed help us. If you send a letter to Taliss, our treasurer, he will cover whatever paperwork or the like that is needed.

Skaalib, Ssafar, Zharukkal. I will not have you argueing on these boards. Take this somewhere else, or not at all.

Lord Gil'Dran

[Matron]

"Well...it is not me who need the material. If you want to have it your treasurer should contact and ask me for a meeting,
Magnus"

[Gil'Dran]

There will be a meeting held for all the leading characters of Zzyathis, aswell as others who wish to attend. The meeting will be held at the temple at (( 10 PM GMT+1 )).

Lord Gil'Dran

[Hadre Taliset]

Make this meeting I cannot. posted here minutes of the meeting there should be.

*long thin clawmark*

[swish1]

I am at the temple. Did, I miss it?
((I might have messed up on time?))

-Ssafar

[Llama]

Apparently you did brother Ssafar.. the meeting had taken place a while.

I wish you a safe journey back, and beware of the swamp.

Szrenszor

[Gil'Dran]

Another meeting will be held, at the same time, in the temple. I am sorry for these short notices, but I barely got back from my time meditating inside the forest to arrange this. From now on, there will be a meeting every thursday.

Lord Gil'Dran

[Lance Thunnigan]

I will try to make them, but If I cannot, do not hold it against me.
I am an old Lizard..

~High Priest Chiccec

(( Timezones suck ass. ))

[Gil'Dran]

Noone was there, so no meeting was held. I hope this will improve for next weeks meeting.

Lord Gil'Dran

(( I'm trying to make this something permanent, the meeting, that is. So every thursday, 10 PM GMT+1. If you can't make it to one meeting, try to make it to next one. ))

[Skaalib Drurr]

Yes, I can be there most times.

i can't do ANY thurdays. so i will never be able to come because i have ventures every thurday night.

[Gil'Dran]

Something has come up and I must leave the isle for some time. The next one in command after me will cover for me while my departure, then fill me in. Continue with the weekly meetings as normally and I will be back hopefully before next month.

Lord Gil'Dran


(( Things has come up and I am not able to use the computer for a while now. I'm sorry, but try to keep this together. ))

[Skaalib Drurr]

I shall do so with pride, Gil'dran, and I wish you a safe journey.

Skaalib
Temporary lord of zzyanthis.

[Gil'Dran]

I am sorry for being away for so long, but I am mostly back and I just need to get some paperwork done, then I can continue with my training and my duties as a Lord.
