Current Hokhmah: Queen Corrarri
L'trello
Tax Rate: 20%
This is a very secretive kingdom. It is
run on the higher concepts of equality, intellect and diplomacy.
Queen Corrarri has all that and cunning.
Perhaps she is not the most safe Hokhmah to double-cross.
The Kingdom is encircled by a forty-foot
high wall of white stone. It is eye-candy as well as functional. There
would be no chance of hacking through the doors either, as they are three
feet thick and made as sturdy as they come.
But if you do manage to get in, it is
even more goregeous inside.
The houses are all eight-sided, and have
quite a composite look about them. This city has no slums, and no Park
Avenue, every house is the same quality and worth. And they are still
beautiful.
There are neat street-signs and shrubbery,
and cobbled roads add an air of class and old-fashioned charm. The central
castle is blazing white alabaster, and just as elegant.
It isn't even your typical castle. It
is tall with several towers, but it has no keep, and the towers aren't
even connected. What serves as royal throne room is the Acceptance Hall,
which is a rectangular building of one room. A slight corridor connects
this building with the Court which is multifunctional--it can be used
as anything from a ball floor to an audience chamber for assemblies.
Another small hallway leads to a Training
Center and yet another to the Tower of Rooms--where there are, as one
would expect, countless numbers of rooms in varying sizes and values of
luxury. The Training Center is where Kether train, and all are welcome.
It's floor is marked with red shapes indicating different positions in
the Saber's style of fighting. Complicated but worth learning.
The other many towers serve as guard posts
to survey the surrounding valley from within the castle walls, that offer
the protection to the Watchers (Grigori)--if they see troops coming, they
are far enough in the city not to be shot with an arrow, if the incoming
army does not wish to be seen. Nothing could get by this security.
