The Grand City

Clarion is the name of both the Kingdom of Clarion and it's capital The Grand City. Clarion is a collective state ruled by an elected leader serving one year terms. The people of the city do not vote for this leader, as it’s decided by the Coalition, a group of high ranking members or royalty of the five kingdoms of Brenael. The five figure heads will vote and the winner serves as Viceroy for one year. All decisions made by this Viceroy must be approved by three of the remaining four Coalition members. Because of the relationship afforded by this union, Clarion is known as the trading kingdom of Brenael and holds one of the largest standing armies(should the squadrons of each of the five kingdoms ride under a single banner.) The Kingdom of Clarion also boasts one of the largest port cities in Brenael and is considered the gateway to reaching the far kingdoms by way of sea. Clarion also uses its considerable wealth to enforce peace in the region with the other kingdoms, as war between any of the other kingdoms could cause a loss of profits and a potential for those involved to bring war to the city.
