City States

City states are the largest places in New Arcadia, and the most populated. Over ten thousand years each city state became known for something, such as advanced military or their scientific discoveries.

Makeup
Each city state is made up of several districts. Usually the districts are divided by class, but in some City States, it's divided by race or skill or something different.

Stone Peak, the smallest city state, has only two districts whereas Thoras, the largest one, has 7.

It is not always determined by size, as Lavie is fairly large and it only has two districts.

Nobility
Nobillity is determined by wealth or relation to the leader of each City State. There are two exceptions to this.

Lavie, any person who is not a slave is a Noble.

In Thoras, you can petition to become nobility depending on your religious views and position in your particular religion.

Maefros
The Maefros are the leaders of each city state. They are elected by the people and serve until death. Following them are heirs and if there are no heirs, another election is held. The only heirs allowed to inherit the throne are direct descendents only.

The Council Of The Maefros
Every 20 years all the Maefros gather at the Temple of Mariah in Pays Du Tristesse to discuss the state of New Arcadia and what they can do to make it better. Two fighting city states can use this meeting to negotiate a peace treaty with the other Maefros as their mediators.
