Leionas: City Born of Dragon
PLAY
Magic has been a reality for a long time. So long that the time without magic is much like the time
without writing- ancient and known but not understood. History books tell of a time before magic was
prevalent, limiting the expansion of technology. The world is so different from those ancient times.
It is a mixed up world, dependent upon typewriters and solar panels, radio and magic wards, land line phones
and apparition. Magic is almost too common, used in some way for so many things- much like the ability
to walk it is under-appreciated. No one has a lot of magic though. Even mages, people who focus their
entire lives to it that are usually in charge of governmental protection, cannot ward a home on their
You live in Leionas now. It's possible that you traveled from another town, but in an
abandoned world like this one where cities with less than 1,000 people all have their own rules and
workings and are geographically separated; being in Leionas is like being on an island. The history of
Leonias is exciting; with the original citizens being survivors from a dragon attack on Evah. They went
west and found home here. Just as they were refugees and travelers, the city welcomes newcomers
happily. Leionas is one of the biggest cities known of, having around 800 people. Travelers come in and
out, and traders come every 3 months for a week to trade and bring people and news and lead those
who are leaving out for vacation or work. These months, March, June, September, and December are
exciting and profitable months for all involved.
Leionas, other than an economic and transportation hub, is also the base of the Wicciah religion. This
religion is the religion of the mages and is the widely believed religion across all cities. Many say it is
based off the Wiccan religion of thousands of years ago, if it once was it has now transformed into a
new religion with a life of its own. Wicciah is a religion based on peace with a being as the main lord.
Being is a non-gender based source of magic that is and watches over. In contrast to that, many people
are still non-religion based. Accepting Magic as it is much like gravity and skin pigment, non-important.
The Wicciah people believe that there has been something bestowed upon the earth. Some believe it is
a gift, some a curse, and many believe that it is both. They're not wrong, recently there have been
people born with extraordinary amounts of magic. People who can put up a wall ward around a house
without anything more than the thought. Boys, girls, men, and women that can do so much more than
everyone else. That is where you come in. You can do so much. Your potential is limitless and at the
moment you are nothing less than fabulous.
Why are you special? Why are you one of the gifted? More importantly, what will you use this gift for?

- Education Representative: This is the person in charge of all schools that are government run, which is all but the schools within the Dresiden and Wicciah church. Their focus is on education.
- Engineering Representative: This is a representative who works to keep the city running. They are in charge of keeping the city maintained and the power/water/etc. running. They work with the government magicians closely.
- Citizen Representative: This representative is there solely for the focus of quality of life for the citizens and even though they have the same amount of voting power, they run the meetings and are viewed much like a city leader.
The Leionas government has a simple set up. There are 6 people in the 'inner circle' that make the big decisions, these are the elected officials. Each of them has a primary focus.Elections for these positions happen every November 12 and a term begins and ends on December 1 when the elected officials are announced,
Taxes in the city run simply and are not very much. Rather than having a bunch of different taxes they have the following:- Hotel Tax: Hotels have a 10% tax on them for when travelers and traders come into town.
- Trade Tax: Traders must pay a 30% tax on their wares value, not price, before they can enter the city.
- Caravan Tax: For those who run caravans in and out of the city there is a 20 coin fee per head to get in or out. Refugees may wave this tax.
- Church Tax: To have a church you must pay for the land you possess at the beginning of each quarter (signified by trading weeks) because this land may have its own rules.
The city legal age of adulthood is 16 and any crimes committed after this age will result in a full trial which generally results in getting banished from the city or being executed. This does not happen frequently as there are not many criminals in the city.

- This is going to be an involved role play! Please keep that in mind when you sign up. If you do not post for a week without letting me know we will kill off your character or otherwise send them away. If you're going to be gone for a while I will work with you to get your character somewhere so that you're not slowing down the role play and won't miss out.
- No one liners!
- Romance is allowed and encouraged in this role play, it works in with my plot on the magic so it's something you're more than welcome to do but if you're going to get all steamy sex scene-y then put that part in a disclaimer and write so that people don't need to read the sex scenes if they don't want. Also, plan with your fellow role play-er- no rape is going to happen in this plot.
- I'm going to lead the plot, if you want in on the plot I have planned let me know.
- Be realistic, there is infrastructure and power but technology doesn't really include cell phones or internet. It's a steampunk-y vibe. Stoves are generally worked by magic as they don't connect to anything. Phone lines are used frequently, however, and they stay with the house they are at.
- Obviously, follow Iwaku's rules.
- I'm going to post the date at the top of every one of my posts, you are welcome to do the same. Feel free to use wolframalpha.com to get dates and such right. The start point will be Saturday, August 12, 5082 at 8A.
