+ | The current ruler, King Gordon, is said to descend from Araboj himself. His son, Prince Loog II, is his only heir. The queen died five years after Loog was born. The city is as simple as a monarchy can be. The monarch gets the final say on most decisions and laws, the people pay their taxes with the food they grow or some other form of payment, and the next ruler is determined based on the lineage of the royal family. This system seems to have worked mainly due to the village being fairly small. King Gordon knows most of his subjects by name and has personal relationships with them. This allows the king to make more informed and personal decisions. The city, as a result of being ruled by someone they consider a friend, has a decently low crime rate. There aren’t even enforcers. If someone does wrong, they are dealt with by the King himself. | ||

+ | ===== Economics ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Leifsholm is mainly a farming village, which is notably odd for Jaern. As such, its economy is fairly small. Combine the small economy with the solitary nature, and you get a town that isn’t all that resplendent. Most of the village can barely afford iron, houses are mainly wood and thatch, even the royalty lives in a large wooden home rather than some form of castle. | ||

+ | The Silvae Osirae is a forested grove resting on a nearby island connected to the island of Leifsholm via the landbridge. The grove is teeming with hundreds of rare plants and animals. A few species of plant can only be found in this grove. The animals live a quiet life without disturbance. Legends say the water found in the grove can restore the lifeforce of those who drink from it. Unfortunately, | ||

+ | |||
+ | **The Wooden Palace** - The largest building in town, the Wooden Palace is the living place for the royalty of Liefsholm. There is a main central hallway with a dining table not far from the throne. A few adjacent rooms make up the kitchen and the bedrooms for the steward and the cook. This is the only palace staff. The remaining rooms are where the royal family resides. The entire building rests on a singular floor, though there is a small second floor with a balcony meant to oversee most of the village. | ||

+ | **The Fungal Philter** - This very tiny shop is a small family business run by a series of Nomads. They sell potions of all kinds, though the most popular by far is the Raz-Beri Tonic. In both form and function, it is a small apothecary shop that sells its potions for cheap due to the materials usually being nearby. Any nomadic incant purchased here is half the price as usual, as well as anything created via Alchemy. |
