Geographic Area

Imports, Exports, and Resources

Urie Treecircle has abundant freshwater and wood. Urie Treecircle has a trade alliance with Whitebeach. Urie trades wood, wooden objects, and Elven crafts to Whitebeach for stone and international trades.

The economy is in ruins with the long war. Before the war, the average monthly wage was 3 gold pieces (the basic pay of the army). Now, the average monthly wage is 1 gold piece (the basic pay of the army). Before the war, magic items were more available as a market item in the major cities (most items of level 1 through 5). Now, the availability of magic items is rare. There are no magic item stores or merchants (only 1st level items are available, when a magic item can be found to buy).

History

The Elven city of Urie Treecircle established by Ranger-General Forestwing. Treesinger becomes High-Gardener of Urie. Treewing becomes High-Gardener of Urie. So far, Urie Treecircle has not been involved in the war.

Government

It is ruled by the High-Gardener of Urie, annually elected on summer solstice. Urie Treecircle is an absolute democracy where all citizens cast a vote for the High-Gardener and the four representatives (High-Four, also annually elected on summer solstice). At each new moon, the treecircle is called, where issues are brought up for discussion and vote by all present citizens. The High-Gardener and High-Four carry out the will of the people. The building and castle of government is known as The Gardened Circle. Quo Treewing is the present High-Gardener of Urie. Shana Forestwing, Eldona Sprout, Gelven Higharrow, and Loalth Allhope are the High-Four.

There is a 7 silver pieces tax on all merchandise bought or sold, also there is a 5 silver pieces gateway tax on all travel into all city's gates. No mounts of any kind are permitted within Urie proper.

The law of the land is the Five Natural Laws of Pilgrim’s Creek. In 1258 DY, the scribe Gnome Eldon Feywild codified five laws into a civilized system. The Five Natural Laws are against violence, stealing, harming, interfering, and disrupting the peace. The Five Laws are often displayed: No violence is allowed. No stealing or falsehood is allowed. No harming of the natural environment is allowed. No interfering with the community authority is allowed. No disrupting of the peace is allowed. The Shadow Knights have arresting authority. The Eternal Moon-Trees druids are judges.

Culture

The population is almost completely Elven with a small population of Gnomes and Halflings. Urie Treecircle culture is in harmony with their environment.

Earth tone colors are always in fashion in Urie along with leaf and vine weaves and patterns. Although the basic common language is common, Urie has a distinctive accent that is recognizable with a Perception DC 10.
