Rorkia
"The fall of our chained city is the rise of our free port"
History
Founded by Roona Lovelock and the crew of the Historia. While just emerging from the mist they found themselves on the south west side of the isles which offered many comforts, after a while of mapping out potential landings they settled on an island surrounded by the north, the main island of the isles. The city of Rorkia now stands there. On the island of Shaqaqel.
The city of Rorke has been ruled by tyrants and idiots all its life and has never had a true structure. What can be noticeable is their extreme military traditions, from their rigorous dueling schools to their weapons of perfect edge the moon maidens. The strict nature of Rorke never allowed its citizens to do anything outside of what the office of the ring wanted. All residents were forced to wear white and what others would call human rights would most often be called useless by the leaders of Rorke. The only saving grace for someone born in Rorke was to hope you were born to a Lock family or to the ring themselves. Rorke was like a hive mind and the drones worked and obeyed without question. While the queens thrived and did everything to make their lives better.
The city of Rorke fell under its own weapon and the floods picked off whatever was left. All the survivors are now the residents of Rorkia.
Plans
The distinct plan of Rorkia is heavily unknown. Only Roona knows its full extents with her inner circle only knowing parts of the master one. Though with their position so far it can be assumed that the current goal is to get noticed and learn more about the isles.
City of Rorkia
The city itself is a heavy construction zone. Only recently have they built their first resident unit, as well as an operating dock. Though its constant bustle the scenery around the city still stands as a remark to their new found life and freedom. It rests on the south east corner of the Tsu-Re gulf.
The church of the moon
Rougarou
The old city of Rorke had a strong tie with the church of the moon and that still stands in Rorkia. A moderate amount of the refugees of Rorke are full time priestesses of the moon, with others often being devoted to it but more of a side religion. Its members often hunt for Rorke and provide religious needs and wants among the people.
Though their leader Chantrea is often away, they often manage themselves in a formal fashion.
Businesses
Rorkia widely accepts business just as their old city did as well. Though the lack of notice from other settlements and the lack of resources has lead to only local places being barely able to get on their feet.
These businesses offer jobs such as:
sewing/tailoring
cooking
construction
accounting
ship building
blacksmithing
fishing
Buildings of notice
The most notable building ranges few and far since there is a lack of buildings in Rorkia. So many are still in their construction phase.
Storage long house: a long house where storage that needs to be sheltered can.
Moon church hut: A smaller hut where the head priestess lives and works, as well used for moon rituals.
The "Un named" tavern: An ongoing tavern in construction that has no name.
Rags Bakery: A shack made from spare parts turned into a bakery with some stones.
Big rock smithers: A furnace and a couple anvils on a big smoothed out rock.
Roonas estate building: an ongoing large building on land the ring herself has zoned for hers.
Air ballistas: A security measure of odd choice, tall ballistas stand on the ground aiming straight up.
Towers: an ongoing project with a line of raised towers being built a long the shoreline. all equally distanced with some built to use as a shelter.
People of power
Roona Lovelock
Roona is the ring of Rorkia, its founder and empress. With her young attitude and long green hair she is sure to give whoever enters the room a snarky remark. She is respected by her people but not exactly liked. They made her their ring and they stand by it but at times it becomes clear that Roona is still only twenty two years old. She showed her leadership mostly in the fact of beating the soul out of the old captain when they tried to mutiny against her. Roona does twist the fact that the hive mind like structure is still very much active and simply takes initiative and other follow.
A few crew mates do know her more 'personally' but that part is often kept within a certain circle.
Born to the Lovelock family Roona was raised to believe her words meant nothing. She kept quiet and got what she wanted. She attended the Rorke college of knowledge and warfare, majoring in sailing tactics and trading. During her time in college, she found herself training with someone who goes only by 'broken' who taught her his way of dueling. That style was later to be found forbidden. Once she graduated, she went on to get out of the confines of Rorke and explore the world.
When the city fell to their own weapon of the white flame then the floods destroyed whatever was left. The survivors all went aboard the Historia that was owned by a high family, the Lovelocks. Roona Lovelock took control of the Historia and they started their way into their new lives which the mist soon took advantage of.
The new Ring Roona believes in the freedom that Rorke could never offer, and strives to do so one step at a time.

Chantrea
Chantrea is the high priestess of the rougarou moon church of Rorkia. Breaking tradition of the church Chantrea is a rather calm and collected arna. With the normal person of the church usually being half feral Chantrea is a breath of fresh air for the new settlement. Her skills as a priestess are just as well off with even the more feral ceremonies having a grace to it with Chantrea at the head.
Chantreas people believed in the power and radiance of the sun, but being born under the moons gaze always left her thinking that the moon was just as radiant. Soon after her emergence she left the tribe to forge her own path. Once she found the rougarou moon church she didn't wait a second to look further into it. She studied at the great cathedral of Rorke and soon became a full priestess of the church.
But after the city fell she found herself with Roona who she had rather bonded with during her time in Rorke. After a few minutes of checking who everyone was before setting away from the ruined city, Chantrea became the new high priestess.
Of course her Moffulga, Pepperidge shouldn't go without mention. Its small features quickly won over the crew of the Historia and it was officially dubbed "The moons Karit" to the love of Roona.
