Intro

Capital of the Kingdom of Jita, Uquburg. Medieval times. Original Fantasy World.

Uquburg is a prosperous city known for its red packed earth inside the walls and the lower class buildings beneath the 18 noble houses being composed of clay found around the city. There is a spice market that brings travelers far and wide, along with entertainment from theatrical groups. Some come for the inns, or worship, as Uquburg is one of a cluster of cities within Jita that allows worship of all religions within it. A palace looms over the city with its grand white marble staircase going up to its spiraling pillars and arched walls with gold lattice work on it. Royal guards often patrol the streets keeping the peace while not in private training sessions within the palace ground, they wear the current ruling houses colors proudly - Silver white armor and flowing teal cloaks. For the most part Uquburg is peaceful, along with Jita, at least on the surface.

Within the Palace walls that separate the elite from the common folk, the 18 houses have their own private parts. Another wall with a gate separate the 18 houses from the grand palace in case of mutiny. All the houses work with the ruling house, and they are known of keeping their bloodlines pure by only marrying between the houses. There are six high Houses - Zeller (which currently rules), Lister, Vezin, Gladstone, Arquette and Callahan. 6 middle noble houses - Valebright, Galdren, Wynfell, Isenholt, Braeforn and Talmore. 6 lower noble houses - Paine, Scroggs, Norcrest, Seradell, Marrowen and Lioren. (While not completely common, it isn’t entirely unheard of through history for one of the houses to rise and for another to be made in its place.) The nobles are known for their politics with each other, the high houses vvi for the crown or its loyalty by any means necessary, the middle and lower classes want to rise in power and aren’t afraid to betray who they need to, to get it. Every scandal is kept carefully within the palace walls or the nobles section, but sometimes - despite their best efforts - scandals slip and rumors already through all of Jita.

Who will you be? Will you belong to one of the many noble houses? Or will you just be a traveler coming through? Perhaps a young warrior destined to prove themselves to the crown? The choice is yours.
