Kingdom of the (Grizzly) Hills

Synopsis:
The Kingdom of the Hills is a newly formed society in the Grizzly Hills that offers many unique ideas to those who are granted citizenship within the kingdom. The kingdom allows everyone to begin a new start and life within its lands. Whether they be former murderers or politicians, farmers or nobles. They will receive three warnings before being asked or being forced to leave the kingdom. No one is required to tell their history unless they achieve a rank within the Lower Senate or Regency Council, as well as even getting the position as Regent-Lord. The kingdom allows for neutrality and peace to flourish within its lands. However, if a war were to break out with an ally and their enemy, the kingdom, if asked to help, will step in and aid its ally. In this scenario it would not necessarily uphold the peace in the lands. Through neutrality, the Kingdom upholds peace and does not choose any faction over the other in most situations besides citizenship. Citizens of the Kingdom must be from the races found within the Alliance, which include Humans (Assorted), Accursed (Assorted), Dwarves (Assorted), Draenei, Quel'dorei, Kal'dorei, Gnomes, Pandaren, and Half Races.

Colonies of the Kingdom:
As the kingdom grows, housing and more must be updated to keep the society in check. Thus, it is possible for colonies to be made for those who wish to live elsewhere, yet be part of the kingdom. Housing is free and will always be free, however, conditions of housing may change over time and citizens may be asked to move towns if need be. They must still abide by Kingdom law and will have their own squad of peacekeepers to guard the colony. Colonies will be ran not only by the Regency Council and Regent-Lord, but by a mayor or governor who will also sit upon the Lesser Senate. The Lesser Senate will be solely in charge of helping the colonies if they require aid. Aid will only be given if the Regency Council and Lesser Senate agree on such terms, or if the current acting Regent-Lord issues peacekeepers to be deployed at the colony.

Current Colonies of the Kingdom of the Hills:
The Kingdom of the Hills has yet to have a colony.

The Beginning:
In the beginning, there was no unity. There was no kingdom, no order, just a forest and some human settlements within the Grizzly Hills. Then the Wolf Cult arrived. The Wolf Cult had been a group of Archmage Arugal's Accursed servants founded within Gilneas and Silverpine Forest. Arugal however was believed to be dead. Soon, the Wolf Cult had begun to change the villagers of the Grizzly Hills into Accursed, or as most would call, Worgen. The Wolf Cult had taken Bloodmoon Isle and had built large tower which had been known at the time as Shadowfang Tower, within it, Wolf Cult followers were often transformed and blessed by the Shade of Arugal. However, the Alliance and Horde forces later arrived to put down Scourge and Wolf Cult problems as well as take resources. Advanturers later helped both factions in the ends and destroyed the Shade of Arugal and most of the Wolf Cult.

The Founding of a New Idea:
Years after the campaign in Northrend, the Grizzly Hills were pretty much abandoned except for a few soldiers to guard faction bases. To ensure that the Alliance was granted more land and resources to fight against the Horde with, Geranelm Syla was sent to found the Order of the Hills which was suppose to take all of the Grizzly Hills for the Alliance war-machine and send whatever resources they find to Stormwind City to aid the various races of the Alliance. Through this time, Geran as many called him, rose to power as Chancellor of the Order and began to recruit for it, completely forgetting to make use of the resources of the land. The Order itself lasted for several months before Chancellor Syla was recalled to Stormwind for not delivering resources. As of such things, a rebellion broke out against the new chancellor, Valery Faranta, who was later killed by the now un-represented citizens of the Grizzly Hills.

The Rebuilding of a Kingdom:
Two months after the Order's fall, the Grizzly Hills were still unoccupied, it's citizens were waging war against one another and it was broken. Out of the blue, followers of the Order of the Hills appeared and began uniting the Grizzly Hills once more but as the Kingdom of the Hills, however, they united it as a neutral kingdom and ran nevertheless by Geranelm Syla once again. This time however, with it being neutral, laws were easily set and the new government had been established as a monarchy that will never have a king, but a Regent-Lord or Regent-Lady of the Grizzly Hills. To represent the noble kingdom, they switched to Lordaeronian colors to represent the great kingdom that has fallen. Now, they focus on bringing a new future to the Hills to combat the Scourge, Remains of the Wolf Cult, and anyone else who stands in their way of creating a neutral kingdom offering a second chance to everyone.

Campaigns:

The Execution of the Wolf Cult and the Reclaiming of Solstice.

Historical Battles:
The Siege of Solstice

The Siege of Venture Bay

The Reclaiming of the Westfall Brigade Encampment

The Battle of Bloodmoon Isle

Affiliation of the Kingdom:
The Kingdom prefers to remain neutral in the eyes of every major faction. Thus, it does not take a side in the conflict between the Alliance and the Horde, however, since a lot of the people of the Kingdom of the Hills are ex-alliance citizens, to stop all conflict, races that are found within the Horde are not allowed to join the kingdom, however, they are allowed to become an ally of it and even become a champion of it if the Regency Council allows it.

Leadership of the Kingdom:
Regent-Lord: The Regent-Lord is the current person who acts in place of a king when there is none and there is no heir to the throne. The Grizzly Hills has never had a king, and to ensure there is a leader that the people support, the Regent-Lord acts in place of one. The current Regent-Lord can enable any law they wish as long as the Regency Council agrees most of the time. If a Regent-Lord resigns or dies, a new Regent-Lord must be chosen (if applicable) from the Regency Council. (Predecessors require to have been in the Regency Council, and a unanimous vote from the Regency Council.)

Regency Council: The Regency Council helps the Regent-Lord decide on what to do with the Hills. They eventually will be his hands and run the kingdom almost completely instead of him though they will take orders from him. Eventually, if the Regent-Lord needs a new replacement for himself or another Regency Councilor, they will have to vote them in.

Present Day:
The Kingdom of the Hills strives to keep the peace within it's own lands. It currently fights what little is left of the Wolf Cult, the Scourge, and anyone who declares war upon the kingdom's allies or the kingdom itself. It offers a new start and a new life for anyone wishing to join it as long as they obey kingdom law. With a surplus of land under it's control, the kingdom has plenty of land to sell to citizens wishing to own some and is looking for more Guards/Peacekeepers as well as Government officials, citizens, and merchants to join it and bring a new era into the Grizzly Hills.

Alliances of the Kingdom:
The Dominion of Alterac

The Principality of Zundrbar

OOC Notes:
Yes, we're a newly forged kingdom. The seven kingdoms can get quite dull, and our land is supurb. I don't think you have a giant tree, tons of rivers, a harbor, two towns, amazing buildings, huge trees and a lot of animals and enemies in your land, now do you? Anywho.. yes, we made it up, yes, it's bending the lore a TINY bit, and, yes, we do take every Alliance race but seem to have a surplus of Gilnean Rogues. Seek out one of us, we don't bite unless you ask us to.
