Ybiewen, the Dominion of the Sands.

[GodOfGales]

Spoiler: Theme Song

The sand, it appeared, reflected the already sweltering heat emitted by the sun. It had been rumored this rough landscape had once been home to hundreds of rival tribes, but over the years the strongest factions took route and stabilized the lands. Spiraling metropolises held influence over large portions of the desert, most harboring on different sides of the Oasis. There was one, however, that didn't rule from a single tribe. It was a massive city, cited in history as the "City of A Thousand Tribes". Perhaps this is what you sought in this heated domain; a land of freedom and civilization amongst a realm which offered none.
Ybiewen

Welcome to the official thread for the city of Ybiewen!
This thread is split into multiple sections, each regarding different districts to the town.
This thread is the overview thread.

Index

Sections marked with "*" are required to read for citizenship, all others are recommended but not required.​

1.) Overview​

2.) Marketing District ​

3.) Military District​

4.) Residential District​

5.) Palace District *​

The City Concept

The concept of Ybiewen is simple: provide a fun, effective, multicultural town.
This means, Ybiewen welcomes all types of players. PvP'ers, RP'ers, PvE'ers, Merchants, etc.
This being, all citizens must experiment outside of their boundaries. PvE'ers must PvP. PvP'ers must RP.
RP is a strong point of Ybiewen. It's the central theme that all themes sprout from.
RP is simple, nothing to stress over. It is just a fun way to get things going from a full in-game perspective.

Do I need to read this whole thread?

As mentioned in the index, only sections marked with the red symbol are required reads.
So why would you read more?
Because each helps you further understand the town.
The marketing district, although not required, gives insight on the town economy.
The residential district gives you a look on larger real-estate.
The Military District gives an idea of town PvP.

Spoiler: Government Ranks

The government of Ybiewen is heavily influenced by the lore, as well as the general format of the town. The hierarchy goes as listed.

Sultan
The Sultan of Ybiewen rules over the city as well as the kingdom. He has absolute power, able to redirect and anoint power as needed. He is anointed by a general election, and can only be overthrown if an 8/10th vote is against the Sultan at a Festival of Ybiewen convention.

Regent
The Regent is the second in command of the kingdom and city of Ybiewen. Heavily infused with the Sultan, the two must be close in friendly positions to ensure they can support one another and prevent political rebellion. He preforms the duties of the Sultan if the Sultan is absent or unable to do so.

The Court
The Court, or Council, serves under the Regent and is the trusted advisors to the Sultan.

--The Following is in no particular order--

Banker General
The Banker General is in charge of city finances. Originally the Minister of the Treasury, in the times of dictatorship, the Banker General office was formed to replace the Ministry, to further influence the titles regarding military. Today, only the name lasts of the military ties.

Commandeeate
The Commandeeate is the most ancient of titles, with it dating back to the original tribal council. The Commandeeate runs the military of Ybiewen. The Commandeeate is an office not directly anointed by the Sultan, but decided upon by the Prefect of the Junta.

Chief Engineer
When the Era of Peace channeled an age of innovation into Ybiewen, the Chief Engineer position was made to further enhance the city. Over time, his responsibility was to form a team of engineers and wire (or, wireless) the city and a network of energy.

Head Diplomat
The Head Diplomat is only a figurehead of the general Diplomat Assembly. When the Sultan and Regent make ties with another nation or city, they anoint a team of diplomats alongside a Head Diplomat for that region to ensure peace.

Grand Architect
Master over the town construction and aesthetics, the Grand Architect works to improve the beauty of the town and expansion of homes and buildings.

Governor
A Governor is the leading official in a selected region, usually the chief of a leading tribe. The carry out the regional deeds.

Warlord
A harsh militarily leader, the Warlord is a leading official in a region along the Outer Prefect. Warlords gain power through blood, and in some regions are overthrown often. They carry out regional deeds.

Northern Slums
Entry point to the town
Senator: Vacant

The Northern Slums is the entry point to the town, where new members will be assigned houses and taught the basics before moving up with the rest of the citizens. The time spent here tests the loyalty and activity of recruits.

Life in the Slums

The slums section of town is a large portion of it, where new recruits are placed in, albeit smaller, homes.
Here, quickly inactive and untrustworthy recruits are filtered. While life can be rough living with "newbs", if one shows potential, they can be quickly relocated into the inner circles of the town.

Why do you need to go to the slums?

"Why do I, a reasonably experienced, or new and upcoming, player have to go to this place?"
Well, as mentioned, it filters out those who are unwilling to do anything productive.
The slums act as a mass filter for the town.
If you prove worthy, getting out will be no problem!
You'll see, once you're settled into the town, that the slums do indeed help keep "others" out.

Apply here!

[Jackrox256]

IGN?) Jackrox256

Age/Timezone?) 19 AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time)-

Duration of time on Herocraft?) Been on and off again for a while now, played for a while back in 2011-2012 and a bit in 2013 if I recall. With the new map up I am planning to become very active again, however.

Current Class AND Level?) Cleric LvL 12

Current Profession AND Level?) Blacksmith LvL 32

Any previous towns?) I joined one back in 2011-2012 and 2013, but I can't recall the names, sorry.

If applicable, why did you leave? Were you kicked?) Can't remember if I was kicked or left, been a while.

If applicable, provide reason for the kick.) Inactivity would be the reason if any.

Why do you wish to join Ybiewen?) Looking for a town to join, and talked briefly to one of the members. I understand that you will only be taking members when you finish the main hall of the town, but I thought I should put in my application in anyway. Judging from your Town page it will be a fun town to join, so that is the main reason, I suppose.

Do you have any friends within the town?) No.

What RP Tribe suits you?) Qurj, I believe. I'm mostly a gatherer and find I like to get minerals and other resources opposed to PvP and Building. Though I'm not opposed to PvPing on occasion. Not entirely sure if it is the right tribe that suites me, the information on the page was brief.

PS. Small typo on rule 5.
"5.) One must use common sense* when participating in things, as not all laws are written."

Age/Timezone.)
18 / Eastern Standard Time

When did you join Ybiewen?)
May 26, 2016

What rank do you wish to obtain?)
Banker General

Why do you deserve this rank?)
I have previous experience running the economies in towns; I was the on the Council/Mayor of Solitude, and helped oversee the finances of that town. Also, on previous maps (Namely Valorium and Dragongarde) I have managed to maintain a successful stream of businesses involving Smithing and Enchanting, so i know a good amount on how to manage money and even profit in the Herocraft Economy. Additionally, I have thus far contributed to Ybiewen not only in HeavensWatch, but also contributed to the achievement of first town on the Beta World.

How will you prove efficient at the job?)
Assuming that HeavensWatch will be utilizing some sort of Trade District, i believe it would be profitable for the town, and its contributing members, to set up a Ybiewen Trading Post. Here we can utilize the different professions that comprise our town to make a profit, and hopefully become a leading Economic Force in Herocraft. Also, with this we can hopefully ease taxation rates and encourage new members to join, and bolster the community.

Do you hold any other government potions in Ybiewen?)
Founding Member, although i'm pretty sure that is not a government position.

Have you held ranks in previous towns?)
Yes

If applicable, what town and what rank?)
Counci/Mayor of Solitude
SiC of Frost
