Volkstadt

Volkstadt was founded by 4 people from across Rathnir under one common ideology. The founder and Governor of Volksberg (Volkstadt's capital) chose the name when the Apex of the Chevkri was giving out permits to settle the Chevkri lands. The name means "peoples town". Our flag, the 2 headed Eagle represents the 2 mountain peaks upon which our Capitol was built, and which inspired the creation of this state. The colors of a flag were chosen to be representative of our founders ideals of what a governing body should be comprised of. We enforce no religion, all 4 founders held different religious ideals, though were monotheistic in nature. Currently there are 2 major cities in Volkstadt. Volksberg ;the capitol where might makes right, and New JconThe home of the builders.

Volksberg, the capitol of Volkstadt:

Volksberg is a citadel, a war fortress built atop 2 impenetrable mountain peaks. Here in volksberg it is always cold, always snowing, always dark, and always inhospitable, thus its people and subsequently it's culture is forged in this icy crucible. Thus these harsh realities inform all aspects of Volks life.

Volkstadt is the military capitol of the nation of Chevkri and Volksberg the capitol of that military state. We boast a strong, mighty, and loyal culture of hardened warriors within the capitol, Volksberg (peoples mountain). We are always looking for more steel to sharpen ours, for the people of Volksberg believe that *"Steel sharpens Steel"* and thus ours is a culture of meritocracy! We care not where you came from, nor do we care about whom you worship, or who sleeps in your bed, for to the Volks we believe action always speaks louder than words. Every position in our military is gained through merit and merit alone, for the volks know that tired old men talk a lot and of this often little is gained. We respect the words of wisdom from our elders but when it comes to maters of state and war your actions shall do the talking. Thus any position, even that of one of the 3 high generals of Volkstadt can be gained on day 1 within the first minute you step foot on Volkstadt should you challenge that general to a duel and win best 3 of 5 match's. We respect our leaders for they stand shoulder to shoulder with even the poorest and most unskilled fighters in this nation. Our comradery is legend, there is doubt of that, for no bond can be greater than that of brothers in arms. The Volks are currently working on building a massive armory for the nations security as well as a giant colosseum where people from all over Rathnir can come and sharpen their steel under the eyes of lords and ladies and the powerful elites of Rathnir. Glory is yours should you come to the twin eagle, you but need only seize it. The only question travelers coming to Volksberg need concern them selves with is whether or not this is the day they shall show rathnir their might. To the Volks winning is glory indeed but merely entering the ring and tasting our steel is enough such that you are our kin. For the volks drink their wounds away and sing their pain into oblivion once the sun falls, and they do so together as brothers. "Long are our swords, Strong is our boards, but only together our destiny we forge! long live the Volks!"

New Jcon: Perhaps a bunch of rowdy sword n hatchet bois just isn't your thing? Certainly that must have been on the mind of one Astralium the cartographer, the founder of New Jcon. For the city of New Jcon wont have any fancy fighting clubs, or bloody spectacles, no you wont find any of that here. What you will find are glorious works of engineering, you'll find a generous and enlightened city of builders, craftsman, and all the culture that brings.

New Jcon was founded by a man named Astralium when he came across the ruins of a long since abandoned city in the state of Volkstadt hidden out in long since abandoned wilderness. Enamored with the archeological, cultural, and scientific implications he quickly petitioned the Volkstadt government to excavate, renovate, and study the find. Nonya, the govenor of Volkstadt was at the time unaware of this ancient city and thus was as curious to know more as astralium and thus immediately processed the required permits. It has been many years since that fateful day and now New Jcon is a flourishing city fully restored from the cruel mistress of time. While it's mayor has changed and is now a man by the name "Sad", Astralium still continues to remain in New Jcon as its primary voice and his expertise and familiarity with the town has no doubt served all the people of New Jcon. Thus New Jcon is always growing, as a city of talented builders is want to do! There are many reasons to become a citizen of New Jcon for even if you cant build worth squat i am sure that a city of hardworking masons and carpenters could use some cheese and wine!

The Volkstadt flag:

White :Purity of mind, body, soul, and moral compass.

Red: The blood through which our ideals, our ethics, our drive, and our passion flows.

Black: The Fury with which we dispatch our foes, with which our ridged philosophy towers, with which our bulwarks endure.
