AweBriiss

**AweBriiss**, officially **Tiarnas na hAbhbraís**, is an island town and the judicial capital of the Queendom of Valrôn. It was founded when Yimmu-Audal kicked the group of Tortuga led players living on "Cool Island" out of their recently inhabited and settled home. It was from here that a small splinter of the group (Rolen, Andreas, AbeKat and Hyjacked) would travel from Cool Island, to the new land of AweBriiss. From there, they spread the religion of Ardeism, and founded bakeries and religious buildings. After a while, the original population of the town disappeared, taking Ardeism with it.

## History

When the town was founded, the demographic of the town mainly consisted of Ardeist Humanoid creatures, such as Humans and Elves, and a minority believing in Blue Phoenixian Religion. All of the original population of AweBriiss disappeared after a time.

### Reign of Alice of AweBriiss

After mayor Nicholas Sebastian Wagner died, Alice of AweBriiss took over an empty town. She had plans to revive the prosperity of AweBriiss, and to establish multiple reforms in the city.

Alice's first task was to repopulate the empty town. She did this by inviting settlers from Neu Misahr, the town of her grandmother, Ok Epitchian. Because of this, the language of the town is a dialect of Kian. Due to the geographic distance between the two, the AweBríoch culture and language eventually diverged from Kian.

## Buildings

The architecture in AweBriiss differs during the Ardeist era and the post-Ardeist era. The centre of AweBriiss is characterised by a sea of light blue roofs.

### Ardeist Era

#### Former cathedral

The cathedral was the first Significant building built in the name of the religion of Ardeism. It's base structure was made out of sandstone, and oak wood planks, and was built by the player "HyjackedFate". Inside of the building a sermon area was situated in the center, and around the center ring was at the end of the building the former Headquarters of the Head Priest Andreas. It was also here that in the past The Holy Poppy was planted. Currently, the poppy has been moved to outside the AweBríoch government storage, in an attempt to preserve the heritage of the dead religion. The Cathedral has been rebuilt into a Palace after it collapsed due to weathering in 2 AN, Nones Arcadius, Cymru Calendar.

### Post-Ardeist Era

#### Sulvfjall

Sulvfjall (*Sliabh Bán*) is a mountain and castle in AweBriiss. It acts as the estate of the O'Valmen family, the royal house of Valrôn. It's location was discovered in the spring of 188 TE and construction was finished in the winter of 191 TE. . Alice of AweBriiss is also the Lady of Sulvfjall. She was appointed by her great aunt, Alvara, the queen of Valrôn.

#### Government Buildings

As part of her reforms, Alice of AweBriiss built two buildings to be used by the government. One of these is a government storage, where government-owned building materials and tools are stored.

#### Halla an Tiarna

The *Halla an Tiarna* (Hall of the Tiarna), known as *Pálás na Soilsí* (Palace of Lights) is a domed palace and the administrative centre of AweBriiss. Formerly the AweBríoch Cathedral, AweBríoch architects we're inspired by the domes in Fortuna, and wanted a similar style here. It houses the throne room of the Tiarna and the prime courtroom for the Valrôni High Court.

#### Housing district

The Housing District was made to accommodate the growing AweBríoch population. Built by player "Vlanderson" aka Nezumi this is where the lowborn classes, *na hAnuaisle*, of AweBríoch society live. It was built from local materials, spruce and cobblestone, outside the city centre.

#### Park district

Built just after the Housing District was finished, the Park District serves as the housing for the upper classes, *na Ridirí*, of AweBriiss. The houses are built from calcite and copper, and are positioned around a park inside the city centre.

## Culture

AweBríoch culture is part of the Aetherian culture group. It was established as a result of Kian immigration to AweBriiss, and eventually diverged from Kian due to geographic distance to the original Kian culture. The AweBríoch speak a sister language of Kian.

### Cuisine

The AweBríoch people traditionally do not keep animals for meat. Their diet instead consists mostly of potatoes, carrots and bread, with their drink of choice being apple cider and apple liquor. These are combined with game meat and eggs on special occasions. Royal and governmental feasts consist mostly of non-traditional or imported foods from wider Sirradran society.

General AweBríoch society has two meals a day, a brunch late in the morning and dinner late in the evening, while the *Ridirí* have 3 meals a day, a brunch late in the morning, a dinner early in the evening and then also a second dinner late in the evening. The AweBríoch brunch is comprised mostly of bread, for both the *Anuaisle* and the *Ridirí*. The dinner for the *Anuaisle* is comprised mostly of potatoes, carrots and bread. The *Ridirí* eat potatoes, carrots and bread too, as well as game meat for their dinners, though their food is prepared professionally and has a much higher quality and better taste. On special occasions, such as festivals and birthdays, egg is added to the brunch, with game meat, mostly venison, being added to the dinners.

In addition to the local foods, the *Ridirí* eat foods popular in wider Sirradran high society, in order to fit in with the general Sirradran upper classes, and to differentiate themselves from the *Anuaisle*. These foods include cakes, rice-meals from Valrôn, and fish, which, despite being located next to the sea, the AweBríoch traditionally rarely eat.

### Clothing

The AweBríoch clothing consists mainly of wool clothing. Red is used mostly as a royal colour and a colour for the government. This is in contrast to the wider Sirradran conventions, or even the conventions of the wider world, which have purple as the royal colour. Red being the royal colour is a remnant of the Aetherian origins of the AweBríoch culture.

### Lunachas Abhbraíog

The official religion of AweBriiss is Lunaism (*Lunasach*). In the past, AweBriiss followed the Niruluvae branch of Lunaism, but during the total collapse of both the main Lunaist and the Niruluvae churches Tiarna Aletsia na hAbhbraís took control of the Lunaist chapter in AweBriiss, and the church is now legally subservient to the government of AweBriiss. The religion itself has mostly remained the same as Niruluvae, with two differences. The first of these is that the god of the Sun, Fire and Lava has been discovered not to be the Soleannen god Solaris, and instead a different deity altogether, known as Tiniaru. The second is that the god of Darkness, known in the main branches as 'Skoney', is referred to as Ainbhearu.
