The Knight Triumvirate

For a Brighter Dawn: Metea, led by a Triumvirate, stands to make the world a better place by training the next generations of adventurers and heroes. Metea maintains healthy relations with its neighbors, lending adventurers to other nations, delivering scores of food, and building the electric rail system to unite its neighbors. Meteans are proud of the weight they carry in the world, and prouder yet to stand at the head of bright future of unity.

Structure

As the name denotes, the structure is a triumvirate. The triumvirate is made of up the three knights, the Eagle Knight, the Lion Knight and the Serpent Knight: Calton, Deverim the Knife, and Rose respectively. The triumvirate leads Metea as councilors to the city Mayors, and only step in if there are problems adventurers can't deal with. Each knight has their own respective role:

• The Eagle Knight: Councilor for public agenda, history, magic and anthropology.
• The Lion Knight: Military Councilor for national security, expeditions, and adventurer training.
• The Serpent Knight: Ambassador, Councilor for international affairs and intelligence.

The Knights work together to oversee the international affairs of the nation, as well as set guidelines for internal affairs. However, the nation is split into various regions lorded by Dukes and Duchesses. Below them, each village and city is guided by a mayor. The major cities the Aristocracy resides in are as follow:

• Greenhorn
• Heartwood
• Lover's Delta
• Shattergate
• Calton

Smaller town and villages that dot the region are as follows:

• Ashton
• Afhirt
• Clayton
• Deladar
• Forest Shade
• Little Fang
• Laketon
• Fox Den
• Silver Peak

Culture

Many Adventures begin in Metea, as the tame geography is ripe with dangers that starting parties can actually handle. Metea has a long tradition as a proving grounds for novice adventurers and as such has sparked a hospitable way of life. Adventurers can generally find a place to rest in the homes of common-folk, fresh blankets, warm food and fine drink provided in exchange for stories of their adventure. Due to the effects of The Pajal Migration, ancient dwarven culture has mixed its way into the already scrambled Gnomish and Human: Fortunately, it was an intersection rather than a collision. The stout Dwarven pride and craft furthered Metean dominance in crafting and practical arts, architecture, smithing, engineering, and so much more. As such, the ability for people to master an art is paramount. The world is able to see the magnificence of Metea in the well crafted steel they carry, the state of the art magic armaments, and the very buildings that decorate the landscape (Though Dwarven and Gnomish Architects are oft at each others throats due to the disparity between minimalist and maximalist styles).
To most Meteans, actions mean so much more than words. Every grand adventurer, every leader, has reached that spot not by nepotism or favoritism, but by the tales sung of their name. Even Master Thieves and petty villains gain similar respect by their infamy.

Public Agenda

The Knight Triumvirate works to create a world in balance, where every evil can be matched by an equal force of good. By supporting their neighbors, expanding their trade and training adventurers, Metea inches ever closer to its goals.

Assets

Metea is among the wealthier nations, just barely trailing behind The Shattered Isles. Metea has the largest produce market as well as a considerable weapons market thanks to Dwarven craft and the rich mines in the Tyrant Breaker Mountains. Castles and fortifications dot the hilly landscape, both abandoned and functional, and thanks to Gnome tinkerers, Metea has the means to create advanced weaponry (Guns, Wands, Airships) and sell them to the rest of the world.

History

The Knight Triumvirate was formed by the Metean Council (now disbanded). It was formed to better organize and run Metea, though they quickly phased out the council. The original Triumvirate was formed by the council's honor guard, 3 adventurers of noteworthy distinction: Avalon, Feyr, and Uthul Hammer-arm. The strength of the Triumvirate was first tested during the Lorach Incident, and it was the triumvirate itself, along with other adventurers, that collapsed the infernal gate and put a stop to the apocalypse.
