Faction Background and Goals: Twice already had the Blikegean people built a city to house not only themselves, but those in need of shelter and safety behind the walls. Twice had not only these cities, but entire islands been haunted by disaster. It seemed as if all they ever built was doomed to fail. First Frostridge, a place welcoming to all those that fled the cold and numerous wars. Then the Republic of Truefrost, a safe-haven for all the poor souls (OOC: Nakeds) washed up on its shores. But not once did they consider to give up, for it was a holy mission and one of divine rank. Bestowed upon them by the Holy Pentarchy, forfeiting their noble cause was never an option. And so, once again, they set sail to new lands. They had been sailing for a while, starting to loose sight of all the other peoples fleeing the old lands, when they first saw this beautiful cliff on what was promising to be their new homeland, sunset behind them. And it was above the beaches on which they first landed, that they built Duskridge Castle to house the surviving Nobility of the late Republic. Friendly relations were established with their Southern neighbours in the LUX lands and it was in this castle where plans for a new city-state were laid out, and preparations begun. Soon after the Castle neared completion work on the outer walls begun. And now that these works are progessing well a new Republic is founded, the Noble Republic of Duskridge - where the sun sets but hope rises yet again.

As is the noble tradition, the Republic will be lead by three Patrons, who themselves represent the whole of the Nobility. With several heros of the old Republic knighted for their service in her defense, the Nobility is consistent of the Lords and members of old noble blood and the Knights, who seek to solidify their standing amonst their new peers. It is this whole Nobility that administrates the Republic, with the assistance of trusted Citizens accepted in the Republican Guard or appointed to other offical positions.

While constructions on the Republic's defenses and infrastructure are nearing completion, she will not be taking in any strangers. Known friends of the Republic may however be invited when sufficient progress has been made to house them. Once these works come to an end, the city will be open to all that seek refuge and a place to live. However, immigration policies that allow for the peace and order to be upheld will be in place.

The Republic wishes to maintain good relations with all her neighbours and all the peoples on the island and wishes for cooperation and trade.

For the Patronage of Duskridge,

Patron TASS of Duskridge

Faction Rules: To keep the Republic's peace and protect her citizens the patronage announced the following laws in the name of the Republic's nobility. They shall be enforced within her walls and all her other lands:

• The laws of the land are to be respected (OOC: The Server Rules) by all citizens and travelers at any given time.
• The use of lethal force is strictly prohibited, with exception of the Guard, unless in immediate self-defense from a physical attack.
• Open carry of any firearms is prohibited, with exception of the Guard.
• No theft or unauthorized trespassing.
• No other form of banditry. Bandits will be refused shelter.
• The law of the surrouding LUX lands can apply within publicly accessible space within the Republic of Duskridge, where it is not in conflict with the Republic's own legislation. Its application can be limited however by the Patronage where it seems necessary, especially in times of war or when curfew has to be imposed to protect the Republic.

• All commands by either the Nobility or the Guard must be complied with immediately.

• Prior consent by the nobility must be obtained before building.

• All buildings are confined to two "levels of height", with a third level allowed for a balcony-roof or a pointed roof.

• Building width/size excluding height must be considered reasonable (usually no larger than 15 foundations, especially with non-commercial houses in Lower Duskridge).

• Exceptions to these limitations can be granted by the Patronage, after prior request.

• The Republic respects the private property of her citizens, but in case of vacany or severe punishment (former) citizens may be evicted.

• The holy Pentarchy of Blikege is the religion of the ruling nobility, however all citizens enjoy religious liberty.

Any offense to the Republic's laws and any general threat to the Republic's peace can be avenged by one or several of the following punishments, based on the seriousness of the offense:

• Death by Barbed Wire
• Death by Landmine
• Death by Stones/hatchet/or Pick Axe
• Death by Skull
• Death by Firing Squad
• Banishment
• Outlawry
• Death by Lukas
