Terris Burg City Council

The City Council is an elected group of 8 individuals. Each pair is a representation of a faction in Terris, and designed to ensure an equal voice in all matters of state.

Structure

Terris Burg created the City Council as a way to mange the city as it grew.
The city council is filled with 2 seats per faction in the city. This gives everyone equal say in the way Terris Burg is run.

Humans
Elves
Dwarves and Halflings

Each representitive is selected by vote from their district.

Culture

The City Council has the final say on any and all decisions.

Often times they will patrol the city with a troop of guards and will dictate rules and regulations on the spot.

The council's job is to ensure all materials are being adequately used.

The Council oversees production, construction, security, and resources.

Without the Council, the city would have erupted into chaos.

Everyone in Terris Burg is gratefull for the security... and order... the coucil brings.

Public Agenda

The City Councel spends every waking hour ensuring the safety and security of everyone in the city.

Their job is to assess projects and allocate resources to research and develop them.

Most funds are going to the The Portal project, but other recovered assetts have gone to reinforcing the wall, and inovate with new items for use.

Assets

All items recovered from Checking the Nets goes into the City Councel's treasury. Most items are broken down and repurposed, but special weapons and treasures are saved and equipped for more difficult battles.

History

The city councel came about around the foundation of Terris Burg.

The previous settlements were chaotic and disruptive.

People murdered eachother for supplies and food, while others stole, and tried to enslave people.

After what felt like years of in-fighting, most of the troublemakers were banished to the eastern side of the island, or killed.

With that taken care of and Erin's Wish, the newly formed Terris Burg decided to create the councel to ensure law and order in the city.

The general view is even though members may seem brash about re-alocating resources... most citizens don't mind and remember when the walls weren't up, and repects the order of the Council

Demography and Population

The City Councel is designed to have 2 reps from each race.

Due to statuet guidelines, certain demi-humans and goblinoid races do not have a seat, since they do not have a large enough population in Terris Burg to warrent a seat.

Territories

The City Councel protects all of Terris Burg and the surrounding area.

They feel anything outside the walls is outside of their "jurisdiction".

They feel it's up to the individual to make it to the city, and any resources used to rescue or save someone from certain doom is a waste, and they will be reluctant to use them.

Military

The City Council constcripts the strongest they can find into service. They patrol the walls as well as direct teams of halfling scouts to locate salvage.

The Conscripted Guards often protects the salvage carts during recovery runs

Religion

The City Councel is open to all religious beliefs... even blood magic.

Due to the nature of Ard'Vanwa, the food lacks nutrients to sustain a person for long.

The Church of Worship established a connection to The Quiet One that allowed the Adepts to purify the food as it came into the city.

With this synergistic relationship, the City Councel gives Church of Worship much atonomy and will often put their needs first when requesting resources.

Foreign Relations

The City Councel will rely on the Explorer's Guild for first contact with any foreign dignitaries.

Shoudl diplomacy fail... they have a Tarrasque

Agriculture & Industry

The City Councel Halflings direct the agricultrual district. Using their skills of farming and animal husbandry, they have been able to make leaps and strides with growing food and animals they have found displaced.

They are able to grow food quickly due to the nature of Ard'Vanwa and Erin's Wish.

Trade & Transport

The City Councel is trade with other realms and factions in Ard'Vanwa the Explorer's Guild.

Since Erin Nyx fought tooth and nail for the formation of the guild, and succession of her Explorers from the council rules and law.

The City Councel will give her all the rewards and responsibility to represent Terris Burg in the best way to the various realms we connect to as we find a way to break the Curse of Ard'Vanwa

Education

The members of the council are voted on by their community. Each group has their own ideals they wish to present to the vote. The Dwarves often pick someone who is their best smith, and will follow his lead on most decisions out of respect for his craft.

Halflings, on the other hand, will often vote in the member with the largest family... even if they are adopted ones.

"Everyone pulls their weight."

Non-Explorers are not charged for goods and services. They are provided tokens that can be exchanged for goods and services that represent hours of time in service to the city.

One token will get 3 meals and a bed at the standard flophouse, while other shops may have different prices.
Major Exports
Since the founding of the Explorer's Guild, Exports are handled strictly through them.

The City Councel will put in a request for certain items and products from the realm, and she will send a team with local currency not touched with the Curse.

Erin's first mission to secure a base in Mystara was successfull. They now have a hold on Quasqueton and are converting it into a useable base.

From there, they will secure a trade route for fresh supplies.

The main export will be the Explorers themselves, as they will offer their services to locals in exchange for Gold.

We will then secure the funds in the local strongholds and use it to ensure fresh supplies into Terris Burg.
Major Imports
The City Councel imports all recources into Terris Burg from Terry's Web and The Portal.

Explorer's Guild handles all products that enters Ard'Vanwa from known realms.

Due to the contract in place, the Explorer who recover the artifacts and items get first claim to the items, and they have an option to "Sell" it at "Fair Value" to a local merchant in exchainge for Guild Points; a psudo-currency that can be exchanged into local currency in other realms.
