Illuc

History
The land of the city of Illuc was first settled by a band of Sørligsti natives. What happened to them is unknown. What is known, however, is that upon the arrival of Illuc's first peoples, those that would become "The Patricians", only a small tribal village was left, devoid of all life. The Patricians, headed by AqulanKing, set down roots then began to literally dig them up. The small valley of the tribal village was dug up and lowered into a pit which took three days. On the third day the town of Illuc was established. After one day of complete independence a Frostmarcher envoy came and Illuc signed a pact of loyalty to the Grand Jarl of Frostmarch.

Upon divine inspiration from Fortuna, the goddess of chance, and large scale infighting among patricians a system of governance was established. The peoples, legally allowed to vote, would vote. These votes would then determine the chance of victory ex: If there were 3 total votes 2 votes for one person would mean a 66% chance to win while the 1 other vote would mean the other person would have a 33% chance to win, this system in political terms is called: sortition, selection by lottery, selection by lot, allotment, demarchy, stochocracy, aleatoric democracy, democratic lottery, or lottocracy. For Illuc it is called "Fortuna's Will." Upon one election by this system a great plague struck Illuc stripping the electorate bare. This induced an age of regency under Aqulan that would be ended upon electorate growth.

Illuc proclaimed neutrality in the matter and swore itself as a place of refuge for all those displaced by conflict.

After subjugation under Lorent and the glorious revolution Illuc joined the kingdom of Ederia, vassal to the newly freed Frostmarch. In this new kingdom veneration of the Oracle, as well as the great tree in Illuc from which they derive prophetic power, grew.

Geography

Illuc is divided into two parts the lower old city, the patricians city and seat of the Oracle, and the upper city upon the western Plateu.
