Information: The Free City of Mejor

Post by AryezturMejorkhor »

The Free City of Mejor is to be built up as the new Capital of my Barony. It was previously the dusty town of Smotretka. However, the new Baron, Aryeztur, saw the immense advantages of the city's location at a delta- both strategically, economically, and culturally. Although most of the Barony of Khorze is ruled by feudal lords, Mejor is ruled by an oligarchy (domestically) and has a charter. As the seat of the Baron, the Baron is also the final word on all matters within the city as it is under his personal rule. Mejor considers itself a place of cultural and economic openness. All artists, writers, playwrights, merchants, and anyone who wishes to make their fortune is invited to this city.

Here are some sights:

The city's population quickly grew. It was initially settled by Lunatics native to the region and other peoples from the Barony with a sprinkling of people from all over the Duchy. Then an extremely large contingent of settlers from Aryez arrived with the new Baron- around 100,000 people. These people, the Aryezis in Khorze began to call themselves the Khorzeans. A mixture of their Aryezi and local dialects developed into the lingua franca of the city, Mejori Aryezi. The city tried very hard to incorporate numerous cultures and becoming cosmopolitan. For example, the new flag of the Barony and the city contains a moon. This is to honor the Lunatic heritage of the region.

Other groups of people from all over Shireroth settled the city. Some came for the adventure. Some came for the money. Many converts to Arya drifted there. Others came to start a new life or improve themselves. Many philosophers, poets, and scholars found their way into the city due to the Baron's promise of generous funds for cultural centers and libraries. Within 3 years, the city had remarkable grown to a population of 300,000 people and was developing the infrastructure to becoming a major port and center of culture.

Already the philosophers have gotten to work. The Philosopher Zorda had the following insight: there are three ultimate beings in the world. The God of Good. The God of Evil. The Goddess of Nature. The Goddess of Nature holds Good and Evil in balance, thus the veneration of nature is necessary. It is thought that this philosophy was influenced by the native traditions of the region.

Aryeztur has also dedicated Mejor to the Cederist, Aryaist, (and Hindu) god of fire, Agni.

Awwww, I really liked Smotretka...but Mejor is great too. I especially like the castle; it looks very Goldshirerithian. Where'd you get those amazing pictures?
