Sandalak (Old SEI)

Sandalak

Sandalak is an Enlightened Dictatorship, currently ruled by His Divine Highness Boswick I.

Sandalak currently has a ceasefire with Taselak while both realms concentrate on the destruction of Ikalak. Once the latter is complete, it is the aim of Sandalak to hold all regions of the South-East Island in its loving hold.

All nobles who take the oath of allegiance and prove their loyalty are likely to find themselves a welcoming realm. There is plenty of activity for a noble to quietly and efficiently go about their duty, and a seat on the extended council or a prominent position in the realm for those with the ability and desire to serve.

The official island-wide newspaper of Sandalak is the Sandalak Sleuth which, with the help of the Office of Information, aims to provide unbiased and accurate reporting for the benefit of all in the South East Island.

Medals of Sandalak

In order to recognise nobles who have proven themselves in various acts of bravery or competence, various awards are granted to nobles of Sandalak.

Patches are worn across the breast. Medals which have a patch added are worn just below any awarded patches, forming simultaneously a last row of patches and first row of medals. Medals, with some exceptions, are worn to make a second row in conjunction with the above. This is to be followed at all times unless the discrepancy in the number of medals is high, in which case medals from a lower row may be moved upwards to bring a higher level of symmetry.

OOC: These medals are purely RP devices for Sandalak. They mean nothing outside of Sandalak, and do not affect anything except roleplay. You will recieve no recognition in another realm if your character should leave to another realm; no tax benefit, etc.
