History

In-Game

24 Germinal (13 April) - The Marquisat started by implementing its deforestation plans. This required tools to cut down vast tracts of forests. Stone tools were easy to obtain but iron tools were sought out. Because of this, toolsmiths spent their time creating thousands of shovels just to destroy them in fire in order to obtain the experience necessary to create iron tools. Lia, the chef, began cooking food for the rest of the population. Biggly established a farm. The goals were to clear the forests in order to create vast agricultural fields. The harvest of the agricultural fields would enable trade and create a food surplus. The food surplus would be used to feed the population during the winter months. When a Cajra merchant attempted to trade in Tumul, the city's mayor enacted toll taxes. These taxes affected Reacue trade into Tumul. Because of this, the Marquis enacted their one toll taxes on Tumul. The mayor of Tumul, Chat, negotiated with the Marquis. Both would retract after de Remuva wrote the decree Chat would enact to help with their Cajra issue. Later issues with Tumul would surface as Chat informed the Marquis that they requested permission from the Prince to declare Tumul as the sole port of export and import for maritime trade between Tarbor and Carpesia. Later, the Marquis enacted to laws related to the resources and management of forests and agriculture as well as prohibiting foreigners from harvesting Reauce lands without permission.

Institutions

Marquis

The head of the province is the Marquis, officially a peer of the Prince of Carpesia and their vassal. The Marquis is the proprietor of the entire marquisat. The Marquis holds lordly powers and responsibilities vested in it since the Custom of Rochefort before the establishment of the Principality. The Marquisat of Reauce was established with the House of Remuva-Yuzil as its Marquis.

Politics, Courts & Administration

Though the Marquis is the office with the mandate to govern, for practical purposes other advisable institutions have been establish.

The Bright Government Court is the itinerant court, though it is often stationed at Solstice. The BGC is made up of ministers appointed by the Marquis.

The Reauce marquisat is divided into three parts: Solstice, Rétat and the Rollet Plains. Each of these have a town with a Marquis-appointed Mayor. These mayorships appoint a representative to the General Court of Towns to advise the Marquis on town and regional matters. Professional companies and non-professional companies (to a lesser extend) select a representative to the General Court of Corporations to advise the Marquis on matters related to them.

The Estates of Reauce is not a sitting body but an institution summoned by the Marquis. It is made up of the General Courts, the Bright Government Court, as well as elected representatives of the three estates of Reauce society: the landowners, the Order clergy, and commoners (freemen and tiedmen included). The body is most often called upon during emergencies and is only advisory.

Justice

The Marquis has Justice Courts with Prince-appointed Magistrates. They follow a common law model based on interpreting the Custom of Rochefort.

Financial system

The financial system is paradoxical. Though the Marquisat has shown support to the development of financial industries, it is heavily restricted. Professional can only sell their products or their services through a Marquis-recongized guild-company. There is a set standards of exchange established in the Custom and non-professional companies require state approval. There is an institutional established titled the Chamber of Accounts with the responsibility of regulating the industry.

Symbols

The symbols of Reauce are derived from traditional Yuzil symbology as well as state institutional symbols imported from Aréole. The green colour and the axe-head motif originate from the Remuva family.
