Archduchy of Loria

The **Archduchy of Loria** was established by Lukas Lordinger (Teslaf999) after he found the town of Hafenstadt in the new world Eldham. The Nation back then contained Loria City itself, Sorrenburg, and Hafenstadt. Those were all the territories which were under direct control of the Archduke Lukas except the town of Sorrenburg, which was owned by ludju123456.

After hard work, Loria City got 45 people to join his settlement. But sadly due to one of the changes on the server more than half of the population got kicked out of the town. But now it's at an even higher number of over 50 people.

After nearly a year, Loria gained independence, soon to be declared war upon. The Lorians weren't able to defend properly and like that the war was lost. Archduke Lukas then decided that there shouldn't be a Loria under another state, and Loria should not exist without him. So he destroyed the name and put the loyal Lorians into exile in a close-by nation, but he himself was found dead in his office with his hands on a bloody knife.

## Landmarks of Loria City

### Great Fort of Nazarick

The Great Fort of Nazarick was first built by Lukas Lordinger (Teslaf999) before Overseer (Rouge\_Grenade) took over the building role. The fort consists of a barracks, council room, and a throne room along with other rooms and buildings for various other purposes. It is named after the Great Tomb of Nazarick from the manga and anime Overlord, the base of Ainz Ooal Gown, due to the fort's having a black and evil-overlord-like theme, along with Lukas being an Arch-demon.

### The Channel of Loria City

The Channel of Loria city was started by Lukas (again), but then with the arrival of Reuben who then finished digging, making the walls and then flooding. The Channel is now finished and can be used to get from the rough sea to the Atsyllean Sea without leaving your boat! One bridge was built to cross it, and another one is planned.

### The great Cathedral of Loria

This would have been a cathedral based on a religion which is very dominant in Sparwood and the Akratian peninsula more precisely. Thoughts were to build either a Soleannen or a Lux cathedral.

## Hafenstadt

Hafenstadt was the former colony of Loria, but since the old governor decided to go back to Rathnir, the colony got handed to Leifmyrr which then dissolved it. The lands are now owned by Rodinbrok.

## Sorrenburg

Sorrenburg was a town whose leader made many mistakes, which then brought him very close to an armed conflict with his liege, but it never came that far as he dissolved the town. After some time, the Archbishop of Lux decided to reclaim it under the name of Goldensburg.

## Government

The government of the Archduchy of Loria is a special blend of Absolute Monarchy mixed with some parliamentary council members, which is known as the Lorian Monarchy. Here is a short explanation:

### King/Archduke

The Archduke or King has the highest authority.

### Right Hand Man

The right-hand man is chosen by the leader himself and is also the heir to the throne without any ties of blood or status. Therefore, technically, anyone can be the leader's right-hand if he knows the leader personally and trusts him.

The right-hand man's authority and rule of the land is second only to the leader.

### Secondary Governor

The secondary governor has full control over a town, acting as a representative of that town to the leader. Only the liege can assign this role and, similarly to the requirements to be the right-hand man, requires only the leaders' trust, while status and inheritance are moot.

A Secondary Governor has full control over the capital of the Nation. The first one and still the being one of Loria City is the Overseer.

### Duke

A Duke has the full control over a large area of the nation and is the next highest in the hierarchy after the secondary governors.

### Count

Like the Duke, a Count owns land, but a Count owns only smaller territories and can be a vassal of the Duke.

### Governor

Like a secondary governor, a normal governor owns a town, but it's not owned by the liege directly.

### Lorian Council

The Lorian Council is made up of Senators, Council Members and governors, and acts as a sort of parliament in the governing body of the Archduchy of Loria.

#### Senator

Senators act as advisors of the Captain, the right-hand man, and/or the governors, and represent at least 2 Council members. Senators may have different political, religious, and governing views and policies.

#### Council Member

Each Council member represents 5 citizens of Loria City. Council members have more specific political, religious, and governmental views and policies that the common citizen can support.

Two Council Members with similar interests will serve under a Senator.
