Alarvon

Demographics

an almost entirely human settlement, every resident is of noble birth or could trace their lineage back to the Great Empire of antiquity

Government

Though no one truly rules Alarvon, the royal line and the Inquisition work closely together to maintain order between the unbelievably powerful families that live there.

Defences

the entirety of the island is defended by means both military and magical, with gargantuan, shimmering white walls surrounding the entire isle.

Infrastructure

Grand estates and archaic structures of immense beauty divide up great swathes of land throughout Alarvon, with all food and supplies being imported from the Nobles' holdings in other countries.

Assets

Owning most of the world's wealth, the streets of Alarvon are paved in white marble with every inch decorated in the old imperial style, though more modern iclusions have started to invade the fashions of the land.

Guilds and Factions

there are four great houses that reside on Alarvon, these being the Alavar family (the royal lineage), Blackfinger family (the inquisitorial lineage) Redledger family (the parlimentary lineage) and the more recently settled Maldepont family (the self made lineage)

History

When the Great Cataclysm sundered the Capital of the old world, the district of Alarvon was cast out into the sea. Protected by various magical wards, this small island survived. However, a magical plague caused by the fallout from the explosion soon gripped the population, wiping out all life on Alarvon, leaving its vast wealth unguarded. A number of years after the desolation, the offspring of these families, sent abroad for tactical marrigaes and exchanges returned to claim what was now rightfully theirs, creating a haven for the old families of the empire, and a safe place far from the raging wars spreading across the fractured empire. Generations later, the modern population care very little for the old ways, living in luxury and getting fat off the wealth of the mainland, Alarvon still remains a political giant in the Archipelgo, even if they rarely throw that weight around.

Architecture

most buildings are large in stature, being originally crafted from white marble, multiple shades of granite or other such luxurious stones, with the majority having gold and silver motiffs covering the interior and exterior.

Geography

Alarvon is set upon a small Archipelago, with great bridges joining together the multiple islands that make up the town itself. Each noble house typically has a devoted island for their family manor, with other propeties housing their extended family.
