=== Oldtown ===

 

 

The Town of Redna is a secularized and multicultural realm. It does not force its residents to follow certain cultural or religious practices, though different religions and cultures are still practiced. The majority of the inhibitants are human. Redna strongly supports participation in the local community and believes that most things should be shared if possible. This resulted in the creation of the community fields, which can be used by anyone, as long as the seeds are resowed after harvest. In general, Redna does not strive for riches or power, but stability and long-term growth for the town and the local residents.

 

 

Redna was founded by Theodmer on the continent of Orientem [[Acquendavia|(Acquendavia)]] near a huge mountain called the Drake Hill. It started as a farming village so that no visitors or residents had to hunger in Rednan lands. Alder was the first to build a house in Redna. He had to rebuild it three more times because of many different reasons. While Alder was building his first house, people from Jotunstan came to warn Theodmer about Redna’s situation.

 

Redna was located in Acquendavia and not joining them would result in its destruction. Kangy helped Redna realize the situation and suggested possible solutions. He was named a friend to Redna and was promised to have a statue in the hall of legends. Theodmer spent months planning and talking to people. He made friends and learned who is hated or liked by whom. This helped to build stable relationships with the rest of Alathra and gain some friends outside the own walls.

 

Threatened by the situation, Theodmer entered negotiations with the Kingdom of Elyria, asking to join it as a vassal. Redna was refused at first, but further negotiations bore fruit: Redna was accepted as a part of the Elyria.

 

This decision, however, was connected to terms: Redna had to move to the island where a dead Ashinan town called Lyon once stood before getting conquered by Elyria. Redna was given funds and resources to rebuild, and the first thing that was built on the island was wheat fields again so that nobody had to hunger.

 

After the fields were done, a builder hut was constructed in the middle of Redna which, to this day, serves as a place where rednans can find building materials to build their houses. Many people started to settle in Redna.

 

The town of Jotunstan which was once lead by Kangy, who helped Redna in it's earliest days was invited to join Elyria. Theodmer negotiated with Kangy about their accession by the Fire of Lore. The second island along with funds and resources was offered to Jotunstan so that Redna and Jotunstan could be neighbors. This, however, was a risky choice. Jotunstan's accession had the possibility to offend Lydoneia and Kogongu and potentially lead to a war between them and Elyria. Redna used all it's influence to nullify the possibility of such wars happening and ensured Kangy. The Altar of Choices (aka the Altar or the Altar of Decisions) was built for the day Kangy would state his decision. When the day came, Jotunstan refused to join Elyria, thus eliminating the possibility of being neighbors with Redna.

 

Skoop had generously offered Redna two hundred villagers, and they had to be carried. Duke Theodmer and Lord EC went to Qarth to carry the villagers to Redna. Qarth was on the westernmost continent, so the villagers had to be carried between continents. Theodmer and EC sailed for months and managed to bring them to Redna without many casualties. This led to the construction of a reliable market with villagers which offers goods in exchange for emeralds.

 

Fields were not providing enough wheat to supply for the war so Redna collectively had to eat less to sustain the warriors. After the battles were won, Redna was in the brink of an economical crysis. The fields were expanded and ores were sold so that Redna could continue the developement.

 

The islands of Redna are constantly changing and evolving. At the moment, Redna puts a lot of effort and resources to improve the local infrastructure and beautify the island.
