Town: Alvengrad
Ruler: Aurelian Casper(An NPC. Played by Solar)
Contact: Solar
Type: Industrial, commerce, technological powerhouse.
Description: Alvengrad is lugubriously popular, and known as the “scientific development center” for Telaris, and it holds up to the title under the rule of Aurelius Casper, a spoiled, albeit wise and spirited Lord nonetheless.
A bit infamous for its rigid, and well knows class warfare, all manners of people can be found, on all levels of the totem pole in Alvengrad. At the top are the nobles, whom are seen in the same respect as Lord Aurelius. Beneath them are anyone working in, or for P.F.M.D(Alvengrad Facility of magi-scientific development.). Further down still are business owners and entrepeneurs, and lower are the employees who work for them. Go deeper and you get to the merchants, and beneath them are the “undesirables”, or non-working class citizens. While there are laws in place to prevent this, people found at the lower ends of the totem pole are often abused and forced to work for meager pay. Unfortunately, no one steps in to prevent this. High King Richard seeks to stomp this mistreatment out.
Aurelius is normally seen as a just, albeit judgemental ruler with a critiques eye for business, and an even better eye for spotting talented individuals. His kindness comes in droves, and he has a more or less effeminate demeanor.
Population: Predominantly human, with an unspoken racism against drows, and dwarves. While rare, even the occassional gnome and dragonkin have been known to pass through Alvengrad's streets.
Defense Force
30,000 military trained men. Deployed from all across the country.
175 Solarist Mages and diviners
5,000 Local Police.
10 Peacekeepers- The Peacekeepers are the elite strike force in Palgard, and have unmatched deployment and combat records, and usually have single handedly turned the tides of battle. They are determinable from the standard military/guard fare by their green poncho's, depicting bloodied crossed blades on the back. They are a force to be reckoned with alone, and there are Flee-On-Contact orders given to opposing cities/nations who might attacks.
Setting/Genre: Semi-modern. Magitech.
Brief History: Alvengrad was not always the center of commerce that it was today, not before Louis Arcantian and Aurelian Casper came into popularity. Beforehand, Alvengrad was industrious, but never along the lines in its terms today. A medley of harmful steam technology provaded majority of the city, creating a black soot that lingered above the sky, and had caused a plague that took thousands of lives.
Upon the advent of discovering the beauty of mixing magic and technology, Louis Arcantia propelled Alvengrad forward, no, all of Telaris forward when it was centuries behind. With the industrious, and business savvy Aurelian Casper taking over as regent with the death of his father, Ouran Casper, Alvengrad quickly became a modern day powerhouse.
Aurelian helped co-create the Scientific Development Facility, the only of its kind in the world alongside Louis, only bringing further prosperity and renown to a cit that was already claiming the world stage.
