Darssus/Ionia

Darssus Tortall

Age:
36

Personality:
Darssus stands as an inquisitive, apathetic observer most of the time, assessing people and situations while throwing out morality and the concept of grey areas as contaminating factors. Driven by such mindsets as "survival of the fittest" and "to the victor go the spoils", Darssus takes great pleasure in determining whether the will and/or strength of one person or party is capable of overpowering those of another and genuinely respects people of strong will and unshakable conviction, but cares little to nothing for the lives that are affected or even lost as a consequence of the conflicts that arise due to his meddling, unless they belong to him.

Cool and mannerly, Darssus is an avid philosopher and skilled rhetorician. However, he seems aware that his mindset and actions are not in tune with the popular veins of thought and actively shrouds these with gentlemanly decorum and clever semantics. As an analyst of human nature, Darssus understands exactly what needs to be said in order push a being over the edge. He is shown to be a very calculating and methodical man, able to seemingly perceive any and all matters at hand and use this information to better manipulate the situation, making him all the more dangerous.

Skills:
Hunter

-Expert Tactician and Strategist: 
As the functional leader of Ionia and a man raising and ruling a huge population, it stands to reason that Darssus possesses a highly intelligent mind capable of hatching plans within plans and processing vast amounts of information. A genius by all accounts, he is an individual who can manipulate the the battlefield, opponents, and even allies through complex schemes that take multiple contingencies into account. He can think several steps ahead, allowing him to change his tactics on a moment's notice and adjust his plans to match the situation at hand. If he finds himself facing a vastly superior intellect, Darssus is more than willing to abandon tactics and simply overpower his enemies, taking away much of the advantages that they would get from their brilliance.

-Weapon Specialist: Although he prefers to fight with the bow, Darssus is capable of turning almost any object into a lethal weapon. His weapon of choice is the short sword and or bow. Darssus is reluctant to use it in battle if he is unable to prevent the information from being leaked to other potential opponents, preferring to resort to his raw physical abilities and combat skills in order for his opponent to know as little about him as possible.

-Peak Strength and Speed: In combat, this raw power comes to bear when Darssus enters melee range, at which point he uses his speed to destroy his enemies as quickly as possible, holding little back in favor of completely overwhelming his opponent's defenses if ranged combat is a no go. Combined, these expressions of his physicality might leave few willing combatants who oppose him, and those that choose to take the risk are quick to find the true limits of his strength.

Interesting:
Ionia is known all around for producing top notch hunters, whose keen senses, and peak physical capabilities, makes them a logistical nightmare on the battlefield.

Ionia

Ruling style:
Ionia is an parliamentary-authoritarian state ruled by a single man, in this case, Darssus. Darssus is assisted and advised by the Popei, or a counsel of 5 of his most trusted men, usually administrators of Houses. Houses are archetypes of work, similar to union for specified jobs. The House of Earth would encompass miners, this is watched over by an administrator who answers to Darssus himself. They also help to enforce his law on the people, without the need of a police force to all the time.

Amilar vi Numanori of Lothric

---

---

Baron Amilar vi Numanori IV

---

---

Age

26

Skills

• Master Bureaucrat - Extremely organized and capable, Amilar can easily keep tabs on the bureaucracy of his lands and its resources, exploiting them for maximum gains like no one else. His calculations in regards to economics is consistently spot on with a trusted council of advisors to assist him whenever he needs help making a decision on things like trade tariffs, tax laws, etc. or when he needs help dealing with the aftermath of something like disasters or flawed judgement on his part.
• Master Planner - Through careful planning and endless charts and graphs (and given enough time), Amilar can accurately plan and supply just about any project from constructing buildings to supplying armies. That said, he tends not to actually lead armies, his tactical acumen is not as good as his logistical acumen.

Personality

Amilar is a efficient on a scale which few men can match. Not the strongest or smartest, he is definitely cunning, shrewd, organized and creative. His ability to organize his state is legendary as he sees order as the basis of civilization. This in turn means that he is not above turning to some more questionable activities to protect or gain wealth for him or his state. He's prideful to a sin about the wealth of Lothric and for good reason, it claims a great deal of mineral wealth as its own as some of the best smiths make their home in his lands due to the availability of quality metals. While some call his greed limitless, Amilar actually controls himself pretty well in that regard. Although he's not above flaunting it when he feels its okay.

That said, Amilar isn't an especially aggressive man, his own army more focused on the defense and policing of his own lands rather than offensive ability; the few offensive Irondrakes in his army are mostly used as guards for royals and officials and even then having a notable defensive taste.

Governance

Bureaucracy - Instead of opting for a direct rule, Lothric uses several guilds, ministries and houses. While some argue that this method may be inefficient, its much easier for both Amilar and his lands as it reduces the workload and stress on each individual in the government. It also allows the state to earn more money through taxes, trade duties, etc which is one of the contributing factors behind Lothric's wealth. Think of this only instead of agricultural goods that produce wealth, its minerals and ores.

Population

Large

Demographics

• Irondrakes (Offensive Warriors) - 3%
• Sentinels (Defensive Warriors) - 7%
• Ignis Magi (Pyromancers) - 2%
• Clerics - 3%
• Farmers - 20%
• Hunters - 11%
• Miners - 33%
• Maidens - 13%
• Youth - 10%

Misc.

The mines of Lothric stretch on for miles in tunnels and caverns and there is a growing community of people who are living underground. Its also popular with criminals and smugglers as its hard to cover all of the ground down there was well very limiting in terms of space making it perfect for small scale smuggling operations and small hideouts. Rumors have it that something horrid lurks in the deepest shafts no longer occupied by miners or criminals alike but nothing firm has come out of them, in fact, nothing ever comes out of the deepest tunnels if they go in...

CS OUTLINE:
Picture:
Name: Erylsi Levette
Age: 56
skill:
Occult Knowledge: Decades of study of arcane tomes has given her understanding of the eldritch forces governing the universe, She performs bizarre rituals to accomplish goals, many of which are unfathomable to the average person or even most rulers.
Respect of the Covenant: her gentle but firm rule over the Covenant has earned the trust of many of her fellow Witches and wizards, most of the covenant is very loyal to her.

Village size:One of the smaller regions
Village population ratio:
Knights of the Covenant:5% (offensive warriors)
Guardians:10% (defensive warriors)
Warlocks*:5% (pyromancers)
Witches*:15% (Cleric)
Hunters:5%
Farmers:20%
Miners:5%
Hearthspeople (maidens):20
Children:15

Ruling style: Erylsi is the Overseer of the Covenant of 7 eyes, the ruling government of the village, The Covenant is composed of the Warlocks and Witches. The villagers respect and revere the wisdom of the Covenant and supply them with food and supplies in return for the services of the witches and the protection of the warlocks and guardians. Failure to meet the demands of such Cunning folk tends to carry misfortune. The covenant is controlled by the Council of 7 eyes, Currently The Council Consists of
Erylsi, the leader of the council
General Ghandrik
Helga "The Hag" an elder witch
The Archivist: a lorekeeper, woe to those who incur the wrath of the archivist
Nelvin The Fool: A cunning warlock, acts like a fool but hides hidden wisdom
Daniel: A representative of the common folk, he still has some magical training
Yzalkabtoth: Some younger Witches question the existence of Yzalkabtoth, and thus believe that he? she? is a poor choice for a member of the Council, Most of the council believes that Yzalkabtoth exists in some form and can be contacted with the proper rituals and study. a replacement is planned, something that Yzalkabtoth apparently agrees to, according to the archivist, who seems to be the most convinced of Yzalkabtoths reality

Personality: Erylsi is, like most in the covenant, a little eccentric and aloof, more interested in the study of philosophy, magic, and the subtleties of fate rather than the art of war and conquest. Regardless, she believes a unified empire will allow the Covenant to expand, with more Witches and Warlocks the study of magic will be accelerated.
Something interesting: The Covenant of 7 eyes have studied the arcane arts for a long time and have developed specialized magic users.The Witches lack the battlefield healing ability but have the ability to cast charms on a few soldiers before a battle, charmed soldiers are "lucky" To an extent not explainable by luck alone, Strikes land with precision and attacks against them have difficulty hitting, unfortunately due to the time and concentration required to cast this spell, only a few soldiers usually have charms in each battle. The Warlocks are trained to use hexes in combat, rather than hurling fire around, Warlocks hurl around Hexes which confuse, bewitch and demoralize enemies. just as pyromancers have some healing equipment, warlocks have a few hexes which can help out allies, inspiring confidence and focus for about a few minutes.

*Warlock and Witch are used as a gender neutral term, a female can be a warlock and a male can be a witch)
