History and Current Status for Drokwald Estate, including the city of Drokkburg, capital of Kraestret

[NirAntae]

Mood of the City

With all of the rapid shifts and changes, to say nothing of incursions and near disasters, the capital of Drokkburg is mostly simply summed up as tense.  Although loyalty to the Queen is strong, it is still a powder keg waiting for a spark to erupt.  Woe to those who set that spark, as that explosion is by far most likely to focus outward.


Laws and Ordinances

• The ground floor of the castle is open to the public, and we welcome visitors. However, those abusing that welcome by hiding or skulking in shadows ((stealth)) will be dealt with severely, up to and including being cut down without further warning if found. The upstairs is the ruler's home, and open by invitation only. 
  
  
• Homes and offices in the three neighborhoods north of the main square are available for rent at the pleasure of the crown, by invitation only. ((Requires RP))  However, most requests by allies or friends of the Kingdom will be honored.
  • Those neighborhoods and houses South of the square are open to all who stand in good stead with Kraestret.  
    
  • While the docks are also open to all in good stead, a consultation with the Queen, particularly in the case of businesses, is considered good manners.
    
• Any individual, group, or member of a group, who has threatened Kraestret, her interests, or her people, may be subject to eviction from property with one week's notice.
  

Holidays & Festivals

Samhain/All Hallow's Eve - generally the largest festival day of the year for Kraestret, including numerous parties and street faires of various sizes throughout the capital (and most of the kingdom as well), often extending a week or more out leading up to the actual day.  Generally a massive Masque Ball is held in the castle on the date, one of the few times commoners and nobles alike mingle socially.
