L`Arc County

L`Arc County is territory in the Lanista League. It has no singular ruler, and is governed by a parliament of representatives from the dozens of small towns in the territory.
== Founding ==
Named for Perdu L`Arc, an explorer from Hollen. Perdu L`Arc sailed to the western continent and encountered Pogol City and Wilmington in an attempt to find a continent of untapped gold. He began to set up camps south of Fragarach in an effort to find untapped veins of gold, silver, and copper. Years went by with little success in the ways of prospecting. After many shack towns were sprung up in an effort to prospect precious metals, Perdu L`Arc was arrested for murder of a priest and possession of illegal substances – drugs such as Nosedive.
Rudderless, the prospectors of what became known as L`Arc County turned to the local lords for assistance. Due to their lacking legislation and governing bodies, the other lords saw them as no better than bandits. The elder prospectors and adventurers took positions of leadership, but no consensus could be made on an absolute ruler. It was then a parliament was formed as the governing body. Each small town, under a pair of parliament members, provided their own contribution of goods, services, and military to protect the county.
After decades of fortification of coffers and soldiers, L`Arc County became recognized as a state by the other lords of the Lanista League. When League heads meet, a particular member of the parliament is elected as a temporary representative.
== Economy ==
The primary economic model for the county was the prospecting of precious metals – gold, silver, platinum, amongst others. However, this proved fruitless, especially compared to the lumber mill and woodwork operations undertaken from the massive nearby forests. Wooden tools, idols, figurines, toys, and other items became the staple of the city, alongside a hearty and diverse agriculture.
== Religion ==
Like all members of the League, they strictly follow the teachings of the Míshásta Pantheon. No one single denomination is especially followed, and no one god or goddess is given preference over the others.
