Sylcyne Settlement in The Realms | World Anvil

Sylcyne

The city of Sylcyne is the capital of the Final Realm and the seat of power for the Cait Monarch guild. The largest remaining settlement of the previous inhabitants of the Realm and the location of the Realm Portals, when the first expeditions arrived in the Realm, the ruins of the city provided them safety from the changed world outside the walls.  

Government

The ruling body of the city is the Cait Monarch Guild, but it does not exert complete control over the city. Instead, it shares authority with the two Councils, the District Council and the People's Council.  

District Council

The District Council is composed of a representative from each of the city's Districts selected by Cait Monarch from a list submitted by the people of the district. Attempts have been made to remove Cait Monarch from the process, but have ended in failure due to corruption and attempts by both Hellguard and Ebony Sorrow to gain a foothold in the Realm.   The District Council sets the laws of the city, as well as the standards for the rest of Realm. While it is much harder to control the wilds of the Realm, it is mostly upheld by Adventurers and Guildmembers.  

People's Council

The People's Council is more recent compared to the District Council, but is just as important. Made after the disastrous attempt of Cait Monarch stepping aside in the District Council, it allows the citizens of the city to bring issues that have gone unnoticed or been swept aside to the attention of the Guild.   This acts as a two-fold process. One, to keep the District Council in check and prevent them from hiding major issues and two, to allow the people to have a voice in the government of the city.  
 

Demographics

Due to the city's nature as a hub of all 14 Realms, it has the most mixed population in the Realms. While the districts around each Portal have historically contained a greater percentage of one species, as the years passed it has lessened. Current estimates have the heart of the districts at 50-60% of the main species, with it becoming far more mixed at the edges.
