Colectria

As the town of Colectria and the Torumite province of Colectria are similar things, all information regarding both is archived on this one wiki page.

Founding
The founding of Colectria is closely tied to the background story of its botan, Its_Creepe, which can be found here.

Demographics
Colectria, being a province that was later acquired by Varn Torum rather than one created by toumite dwarves, presents varied species of sentient inhabitants, whether it be in its government or among its citizens. Colectria as a province or as a town doesn't have any form of advertising and recruitment system, its main source of new players being tourists visiting the region, travellers getting lost, golems waking up from slumber in a nearby cave and immigrants from various regions of Eldham. Because of its accessible and effective housing system, its high protection offered by the local Colectria military and its location in the mainland of Varn Torum with a river, the Colecto, giving access to the seas west and south of Varn Torum, Colectria attracts many different types of people in its walls. This includes but is not limited to:


 * Varnian Golemenis
 * Long-forgotten races such as Arj's
 * Varnian Creepers having "evolved" from the typical creepers found elsewhere in eldham
 * Torumite Dwarves
 * Anthropomorphic Axolotls

Local Architecture
As mentioned above, Colectria has a very simple and effective housing system. This is because of its community-oriented population and large housing area within its walls. The architecture and building style is as varied as the province's population, though mainly using locally sourced ressources, like spruce, dark oak and birch wood, along with sandstone from the nearby deserts and some clay found in Colectria's river, Colecto.

Religions
When Colectria joined Varn Torum as a province, creating an influx of torumite dwarves along with their culture, the Tokoran Faith was accepted as the main religion of Colectria. However, the locals have started gathering around a colectrian cult religion, Theonism. Based around the ancient, almost extinct, race of Arj's, it bases its beliefs and rituals around three main gods, Arzena, Glazia and Gaia, and some spirits, as well as the belief that there exists a higher plane of existence, only accesible through rituals during which Arj's ("baptized" believers and members of the ancient race alike) inflict pain on themselves through various means. It was founded around end-october2021.

Military Organisation
Colectria's military is an independent organisation from Varn Torum's Land Army. More information about that can be found here.

Ranks
To join the Colectrian Guard, citizens must receive a specialised education before swearing an oath in a colectrian ceremony.

Guardians
The Colectrian Military is commonly referred to as the "Colectrian Guard". Being apart of it earns you the title of "Guardian". Guardians can either be Constables, Soldiers, or both.

Constables
Constables are tasked with enforcing the law on Colectria territory, and require a certain education to investigate crimes and hunt down outlaws.

Soldiers
Soldiers must be firstly apart of the V.T.L.A., and have received training there. The Soldiers in military service have to defend the province, patrol borders and must be usable for the VTLA at any time.

Infrastructures
In the Colectria city, the Colectrian Guard has a Fort surrounded by walls of cobble, obsidian and spruce towering over the city walls, in which can be found different spruce buildings and facilities, namely:


 * A small military housing unit
 * A farm area in which wheat is taken care of
 * A stable mainly populated of skeleton horses
 * An underground Training Site, commonly known as the "Underground Arena"
