Location [Wind Reach] The Valintar

[Emergence]

Description: Set just a short walk from the inside the Sanikas Gates of Wind Reach on the ground level of the 'City' the Valintar's office is an impressive display of the glassworks of the Inarta. The office itself is in essence a huge stained glass atrium visible from both the air and the ground floor of the twin lakes as a platform that extends out partially on stone pillars over the lower lake itself. It has a small dock and pier attached to it, as well as an 'inner sanctum' portion that runs deep into the walls of the volcano where a small reception room is sheltered inside the volcano proper. A magic called 'sheilding' protects the exposed glass atrium from rock falls and landslides that often frequent Mt. Skyinarta. The reception lacks a secretary as Kaden handles most of his affairs himself and always maintains his office hours. If the door is unlocked, he's there. And if he's not there and the door is barred, there's always a sign with the return time clearly posted in neat magnetic-backed glass lettering. There's a large bird stand near the door to his office proper, and one can often see one of the large thunder bay eagles (though far smaller than a Wind Eagle) perched. Kaden keeps several birds as pets and often carries them with him save for the thunder bay eagle whos name is Starvine. Starvine roams the twin lakes areas and maintains a permanent residence in the Valintar's office or Kaden's personal quarters. The space itself looks out over a pier which has a sailboat tied up to it. The sailboat was one Kaden hand crafted himself. Meals can be taken on the dock part of the atrium, while business is conducted inside the reception itself. Kaden's office is offlimits to most people who aren't craftsman or riders, and is probably one of the most magnificent structures in Wind Reach. A side door off the atrium reception leads to Kaden's personal quarters, a large stone suit with its own set of windows looking over the lake. One doesn't need to knock to get Kaden's attention. All they need to do is open the door to the reception and walk in. They can marvel at the lit glass covering the walls and ceiling illuminated from behind until the structure stretches out over the water itself past giant double glass doors. There is a comfortable sitting area with sunken couches that people can relax in while they are waiting for an audience. NPCs: Kaden Avin is the supreme authority in Wind Reach. He is tasked with the responsibility of assigning class to each and every individual in Wind Reach. New or people who have suddenly married, bonded with an Eagle, or gained an education must seek him for reclassification so their food rations can be managed. Kaden also holds rank over the Master's Circle which is the ruling body in Wind Reach. He is also an incredible drummer who often plays at most of the city's party events and festivals. Kaden is extremely approachable, easy to look at but not exactly handsome, and tends to make people feel at ease in his presence. However, he is forthright and will speak his mind as needed. He carries about himself an aura of leadership that tends to quell anyone's desires to question him. Mod Note: This location is no self-moderation allowed. Each and every post needs to be moderated!

Obtaining a Job In Wind Reach no one has a set job such as 'Glassblower', 'Hunter' or 'Bard'. Instead the city is divided up into a Caste System, with each separate Caste making up a large portion of the population. Each Caste has its own schedule, job types, and payment. Unlike another city where a job pays more the higher a character's experience in their job related skills, the Caste income stays the same no matter what. A citizen can change Castes, though their skills must warrant the change and it must be approved by the local ST. Below lists each Caste and their income, taxes, daily schedules and expectations. When applying for a job please take the time to review your skills and preferences to choose the correct Caste. All applications will be reviewed by a DS or higher and will be approved or rejected by them.   Dek Dek Income: 100 pinions a season Tax: 50 pinions a season Profit Kept: 50 pinions a season Expectations: Daily work at least ten hours a day. One day off in every ten. The Dek are the dirty and servant manual labor of Wind Reach. They are paid extraordinarily little and are forced to do the jobs no other Caste wants to do. A Dek does not have a specific job title such as 'Animal Caretaker' instead they do many menial and small jobs on a daily basis such as cleaning, construction, waste removal, etc.   Yasi Yasi Income: 80 pinions a season Tax: None Profit Kept: 80 pinions a season Expectations: In every 10 days; five days of half class half work and four days off. The Yasi incorporate all the children of Wind Reach. Just like Dek, Yasi also have no formal job title. Instead they spend half their time learning and the other half preforming small duties such as clerical work, organization, minor repairs, etc. The goal of a Yasi is either to bond to a Wind Eagle or to gain an apprenticeship to an Avora where they will learn a trade to set their Caste later in life. No matter the skills of a PC, an Inarta in Wind Reach under the age of 15 will be in the Yasi Caste, unless they have either bonded with a Wind Eagle or spent enough time in an apprenticeship that they have proved to be capable on their own in said profession. No one under 13 can be any other Caste.   Chiet Chiet Income: 300 pinions a season Tax: 160 pinons a season Profit Kept: 140 pinions a season Expectations: Daily work at least eight hours a day and two days off in every ten. The Chiet are the commoners of Wind Reach. They make up the majority of the population and their jobs range widely. Some Chiet may have a specific job title that does not change such as 'teacher' though many Chiet rotate to different jobs based on their skills and the city wide need. A Yasi who has not bonded to a Wind Eagle, nor received and apprenticeship, but has also proven to be able to fend for themselves and has no major irregularities, is placed into the Chiet Caste.   Avora Avora Income: 750 pinions a season Tax: 450 pinons a season Profit Kept: 300 pinions a season Expectations: Daily work at least eight hours a day and three days off during every 10. The Avora are the craftsman and leaders of Wind Reach. These members make up the skilled glassblowers that are renown around Mizahar, and the farmers vital to the citizens survival, while they are also the team leaders and project designers. In order to be placed into the Avora caste a player character must have at least competent in a craft, or skill such as leadership with a position that utilizes that skill. If the player is a crafter then there must be a mention of his or her apprenticeship as a Yasi somewhere in their history for at least three years. If a job a citizen does benefits the city as a whole greatly, such as providing outside revenue or insuring safety of the citizens, its falls under the Avora caste.   Endal Endal Income: 1000 pinions a season Tax: 500 pinons a season Profit Kept: 500 pinions a season Expectations: Daily work hunting and transporting. Schedules for Endal change depending on their Flights duties though they commonly have more free time than any other Caste. The Endal are the lucky few of Wind Reach that have bonded to a Wind Eagle. All Endal must have a Wind Eagle and all are primarily hunters. Endal do rounds during the season, hunting, protecting and scouting, though bringing food to the city is the main focus of their work. It is highly recommended that a player character roleplay becoming an Endal IC. However you may start your character off as an Endal, though it requires special permission from the local ST.
