Nobility

Luria Nova is currently in full expanse. New nobles are highly sought after. Any noble with a good head and a brave heart is welcome to join the ranks of Lurian nobility. Those who prove themselves to be loyal and dedicated may find themselves rewarded quickly.

Military

Luria Nova prides itself on a strong military tradition. From Pian en Luries' early days, Lurians have faced a never-ending onslaught of hordes invading their lands. In their wars abroad, Lurians are undefeated. The Lurian warrior is proud, brave and steadfast, and does not tremble before his foes: be they men or beasts. Lurian commanders are renowned for their tactical prowess, and snatching victories from the jaws of defeat. More than once, they've faced overwhelming odds, emerging victorious from battle each time. As a result, successful warriors and commanders are held in high regard throughout Lurian society.

The Hammer of Dawn

Luria's military backbone, the Hammer of Dawn stands between the realm and any invaders who seek to harm her. It accounts for about third of Luria's nobles. Marshal Ronan Maelodor directs the army, without a Vice-Marshal.

The Imperial Legion

Luria's rapid response force, the Legion is tasked with missions that require swift movement and the utmost dedication. Only the most reliable and dedicated nobles are recruited to the Imperial Legion. Led by Marshal Sholan A'Valti, the Legion is Luria's spearhead into battle.

The Golden Host

Luria's home army, tasked with the extermination of abominations and the maintenance of regions. Sometimes, they are sent out with the Hammer of Dawn, creating a truly large and powerful force. Their Marshal, Sha'shanti el Gato works diligently with her unit commanders and the various lords who require her army.

Diplomacy

Luria Nova stands tall and mighty as the reigning realm of all three Lurias. The last time Luria was this unified was when Queen Alanna Anaris ruled, doing so under the banner of Pian en Luries. This time, however, Queen Alice Arundel rules her subjects as they endeavor to create a truly unified, Lurian Empire.

Luria Nova shares an alliance with Fissoa, and a warm sense of camaraderie with their nobles. The Northern Theocracies of Corsanctum and Morek share peaceful relations with Luria Nova, respecting territories and agreements. The republic of Swordfell also holds these same good relations. D'Hara remains at peace with Luria Nova, but tensions boil behind the treaties. If it were not for their joint efforts against the Falkirkian Freestate, war would have easily erupted. Finally, with Terran's destruction inevitable, Luria Nova has little to offer to the Véinsørmoot, save peace treaties and solidarity against the Kingdom of Aurvandil.

Councils

Royal Court: Home of the most important political decisions, the Roya Court is mandatory for all lords, and open to inner-council members and knights who request access.

The Queen's Military Command: This council is tasked with the realm's military affairs. It is made up of the Queen, High Commander, High Justice, Dukes, Marshals, Vice-Marshals and army sponsors. Those with military ambition are also invited to be part of this council. Any noble may present their own opinions or suggestions, regarding military matters, to the Queen's Military Command.

Royal Lineage

King Fulco D'Este: First King of Luria Nova. As Duke of Giask at the time of the secession, he became the first king of the fledgling realm. Abdicated voluntarily in accordance with the Lurian tenets stipulating the division of power. Remains Duke to this day.

King Amaury Capet: Second King of Luria Nova. Exiled by Alanna after the Lurian Civil War, he became a driving force behind her downfall. He returned to his old homelands the very day of the secession, and became Luria Nova's first High Constable. After Fulco's abdication he was elected King, winning against Candidate Rickhart Haerthorne, and reigned during a season before being overthrown by a rebellion led by Royal Duke Fulco.

King Rickhart Haerthorne: After the rebellion against King Amaury, new elections were held, in where King Rickhart was elected over Candidate Levon Arrakis. He died in Grodno from the D'Haran Pox.

King Tybalt Crusader: Was elected King Rickhart's successor running against three other candidates. He and Arbiter Malus warred Pian en Luries, concluding the affair in victory. He was later ousted by Royal Duke Fulco and his supporters.

Queen Alice Arundel: First Queen of Luria Nova. After Royal Duke Fulco stepped down willingly to a successor, he named former Arbiter Malus, Duke of Sun Hall, his favored heir. However, the Duke was nowhere to be found and a candidate was needed to replace him. Lady Alice ran for the throne against another noble who later dropped from the race, assuring her victory. Within a month she concluded Luria Nova's conquest of Luria Vesperi, and took its crown as well. She still rules to this day.
