Journal 1: The Beginning

St. Clare

From what I remember my mom telling me about the laws of St.Clare was that there is no war, no murder, no stealing, and no famine. Everyone is equal at St.Clare. St.Clare is broken up into 5 tiers. Ranking from Highest to Bottom. St. Clare is Tier 1, Rose Castle is Tier 2, Sella Palace is Tier 3, HighBorne Castle is Tier 4, and Lambridge Castle is Tier 5.

St. Clare has been in reign for 800 years. One of the first civilizations. Built from the base of Mount Ebony. Empress Zenovia ancestors decided to create St.Clare as a Haven from what the world was like before. King Zion had many followers under his ruling, they felt his ideas, ruling was what made him best for the job as King. Ever since then he made himself King, he created the law/rules, and no one ever stepped out of line since then. He made rules for maintaining population control. Only two children were allowed per household, whether it's a boy or a girl. There has never been a case where someone had 3 children. Overtime women's bodies just got accustomed to having 2 children. This is so everything is equally distributed. Jobs are passed down to the children, they are taught in school up until the age of 16. Once they turn 19, they start training for their parents jobs At 25 they graduate from training to take over your parents' jobs. At the age of 30 they are set to marry someone of their ranking. This is to make sure that the bloodline is intact. At age 35 they are to convert over to the jobs their parents once had. Once the children have taken over their parents jobs, the parents are to retire at the age of 60. Having kids especially with how times were, limiting the population there was a certain time where people were allowed to have children.

Rose Castle was one of the second cities to be built. Still under St. Clare's rule she sat off the North of St. Clare. Rose Castle is like St. Clare's second in command. King Zion wanted to expand and sent one of his trusted admirals to make another city. Heading up North Admiral Adonis Rose found Rose Castle. The light pink, rose colored crystal sat in the middle of a large lake, the reflection of the water made it look like it was floating in the sky. Carved into the middle of the crystal was Rose Castle. Half wooden and half crystal, even though those two don't mix they looked well together. The wooden and crystal bridges connected her to the mainland, her many resources; trading the crystals, fruits, vegetables, and meats. I love going to Rose Castle. It's so gorgeous there.

Sella Palace is just south of St.Clare and Rose Castle. Another city King Zion wanted to build. He sent his Lieutenant James O'Neal to seek more resources. LT. O'Neal found a 400 ft wide oak tree in the middle of his journey. Seeking shelter, he and his team thought it would be a great place to set up for night and made that their home. Sella provided the fish, seaweed, water and wood. Sella was surrounded by wilderness for 1000's of miles, with lush green caverns, and plants growing wild and free.

HighBorne Palace located in the West. Another situation where King Zion wanted to expand. He told Admiral Rose to choose one of his trusted guards to find some more land to base at. Hidden between two largely displaced boulders is the entrance to HighBorne. HighBorne is tucked right under a cave. Its leading resources are lead and iron, making this area highly useful to King Zion. King Zion appointed the guard who founded this place the head of this city. Every head of the city is to report to King Zion. If they are lacking in resources for any matter, or if they can't get shipment out, everything has to come back to King Zion.

Lastly, Lambridge Castle, more like a commune. King Zion had a brother, Aidon. Although he believed in his brother's ways he still set out to make a name for himself. He started Lambridge Castle for those who didn't want the marriage, kids or the "rules". Those who wanted to be "free" as Aidon put it. King Zion loved his brother, but he didn't agree with his ways.

All four of these cities play their parts. Each bringing their own useful resource to each other. But with everyone living in such harmony how could there be a resistance? I feel like something sinister is really going on...
