Whilst having been an official Urguani vassal for decades, the expansion past their hold of Karmesinfels deemed a renewed vassal contract necessary for both parties. With the expansion of Urguan’s official borders east, the Crimson Edict now falls once again within the borders of the Grand Kingdom. The Crimson Edict and Grand Kingdom of Urguan have been close allies and friends for centuries, with the Edict being stationed within Urguani land for almost the entirety of their history. By being granted a lair, we can ensure that neutrality is upheld, and everyone can have a welcoming space in the scholastic rp niche on LoTC.
Compared to Dragur, the library actually has a guild open to scholars from every nation where scholastic rp can be held without the burden of international politics. While they were a great hub for books and knowledge, they failed to provide much, if any, roleplay (I would know, I was one of the librarians). With Dragur being gone, myself and the Order are looking to step up to fill that void and grow off of what Dragur managed to accomplish. As described in the previous question, while certain nations do have some sort of library, there is a limiting factor of international politics that determines who can and can't visit such libraries. Since the Library of Dragur ceased to exist on this map, there hasn’t been a solid location capable of providing important knowledge and resources that everyone can access. What does this lair add to the greater world around them?: What we aim to accomplish with a lair is to provide a truly neutral ground that has no overarching governing body that can limit who can and can't visit our library. What we’re now seeing recently is LoTC back in the swing of international conflicts, and with such nations and settlements closing their borders to individuals from certain areas. The aim of the Library is to be a neutral ground where individuals can come to learn about pretty much anything without being limited by the status of their governing nation. The Order of Remembrance had previously been within other nations, yet time after time it’s shown that overall nation politics have gotten in the way of our ability to perform as a neutral group. Why can you not accomplish the niche of this lair’s roleplay in an existing settlement or nation? (We expect a substantial answer for this, not just ‘I don’t like them’). Lair Build and Infrastructure (photos required): Lair Lore (could link to an existing creature or other lore) (1000 words minimum): The Order of Remembrance - Guilds - The Lord Of The Craft Also happy to settle somewhere in 56, or the southern tiles around South Hub.
