New Jellhem

New Jellhem
New Jellhem is a town in the Simulami Empire. It is located in the centre of the Stormgova and acts as the Eldham capital. Currently, the mayor is Ornn Hrafn and is the home of over 30 people.

Founding
New Jellhem was founded by Green Lion II after spending many years of his life working on the Myrkira Cathedral, which was mostly a failure. He moved to Stormgova looking for peace, but found himself working on even more projects than before. At first, New Jellhem was just a couple of houses for him and his friends on the river side. However, the town quickly grew as more people began moving there. During this time, The townhall, a Soleviel church and temple for the guardian were built.

After a few months, New Jellhem grew into the biggest town in the region and one of the most active in the empire. That was until Green Lion II started a campaign against bandits and he was brutally murdered by one of them. The people of New Jellhem felt threatened and approximately 20-40% of them moved away.

Age of Ornn
Ornn Hrafn returned to Stormgova and inherited New Jellhem. Ornn didn't know what to do with this power but he was a promising mayor for the residents. This was until Ornn felt like he needed to boss people around and turned slightly selfish for a short period. Ornn Ordered the creation of Castle Hrafn, which was a monumental build sitting on the top of a mountain, glaring over the town. After a short break, Ornn returned to find his family gone and his attitude completely changed.

Ornn talked to Zeno Maestro and NewJellhem became the capital of the Empire to try growing the city once again. After becoming the capital, New Jellhem was being built faster than ever. The Cathedral of Stormgova was built and the Simulami Capital building over the next few years. The city was quickly growing as the population doubled in only a few years (Real stats: 30 -> 70 in only 2 weeks)

Eventually Ornn Ludwig adopted Melody Ludwig and introduced a new election system. During this time, Ornn also purged all Stormgovan Guardian followers and made Soleviel the new official religion of Stormgova. He also set up an election to see the people's thoughts.

Ornn Ludwig designed a new banner for the city, which was flown everywhere as it represented Simulami, Drakonia and Stormgova, showing that the city was the home of all the main races of Simulami

Notable Families
There are many important families in Stormgova that run important businesses, have history or have participated in the High Stormgovan Society.

Ludwig
House Ludwig is currently the ruling house, with the Streysman being Ornn Ludwig, the person in charge. It is an extremely religious family as 3 members have previously been Soleviel Patriarchs. It consists of Governors, Regent assistants and Mayors and is one of the most important noble families in all of Simulami. In New Jellhem the massive Castle Ludwig towers over the city with it being the highest point in all of Stormgova. Important members include: Maximelian II Ludwig, Robb Ludwig, Ornn Ludwig, MishMoosh Ludwig-Aulian, Yorg Ludwig-Aulian, Melody Ludwig and Rin Ludwig-Rostraya

Rostraya
House Rostraya are a family of hard working individuals who built taverns in New Jellhem and own a family business. They are not afraid to get their hands dirty and therefore have worked their way up the ranks. Most notably, Rin Rostraya set up a tavern on the river side and it is one of the most visited places in all of Simulami. Rin Rostraya is also married to Melody Ludwig, making them future Streysmen

Vetr
House Vetr is a historical Stormgovan family with a small presence today. First, Erik Vetr killed some barbarians in Stormgova and became a legend. The family of Vetr once had a Patriak and they became very skilled in blacksmithing and fighting. In fact, many significant people from house Vetr are no longer in Stormgova because they joined foreign mercenary groups. Currently, the head of house Vetr is Orrvar Vetr, an amazing fighter who mastered archery, however there were other important figures in the past such as Osborn Vetr, who famously hunted a bear, which is why it is on their coat of arms.

Election system
Valekt - Democratic mayor of NewJellhem, elected every 3 months.

Streysman - Ruler of NewJellhem, Ornn Ludwig.

Omrad - Zone of NewJellhem, there are 11.

Vanligt - Regular citizen of NewJellhem who can vote

High Society of Stormgova
The High society of Stormgova is a council summoned by the Streysman to govern the election. There are 5 or 7 anonymous members who are offered to join the society. These members do not know who the other members are and must follow these rules:

1) A member of the High Society of Stormgova cannot run for Valekt, or they must leave the council.

2) A member of the High Society of Stormgova must not announce their position in the Society until the election, this is to avoid bias.

3) A member must be mature and follow all Stoneworks rules. If they cannot, they will be dismissed.

The council meets before an election and decides which candidates can run for Valekt. If a Vanligt wants to run in the election, they must be approved by the High Society and the Streysman.

After each election, the High Society is scrambled, some members will be removed and some new people will be invited, this is done so that the members of the High Society remain a secret.

Valekt and Streysman
The Valekt is the democratic mayor of Stormgova elected every 3 months. They must work very closely with the Streysman, who is in charge of New Jellhem. Each time a Valekt decides to make a decision, they must first talk to the Streysman for approval, however it is the Valekt's job to make sure that there is work being done in the city and that the people are happy and it is the Streysman's job to make sure that the Valekt is doing their job correctly. If the Valekt is not good enough, then the Sreysman may wish to get rid of them and call a new election with the High council.

The current line of Streysman succession:

Ornn Ludwig -> Melody Ludwig -> Rin Rostraya-Ludwig -> Maximelian II Ludiwg -> Robb Ludwig -> Mishmoosh Ludwig-Aulian

Elections
Every 3 months there will be an election on the 15th. During this election, each Omrad will have a certain amount of votes depending on their population and the importance of those who live there. The candidate must collect at least 51% of votes. If after the votes get counted and no candidate has 51%, then the election will be redone and other candidates may wish to drop out. If the election is redone 2 times and there is still no candidate with 51% then the two candidates with the highest votes must have a battle, which includes a debate and a fight. The person who wins will then become the Valekt
