Greater Sacred Forest
The People live in harmony with the forest. When the weather shifts, the People are able to adapt by modifying their weather to their liking, greatly mitigating the effects of drought, cold, or even lack of sunlight. Agriculture is second nature to the People and starvation a foreign disease. Only truly severe or long-term climatic shifts can effect the people and even then, they will be adapted to.
Warning: Requires adequate administrative, religious, and library-based resources. Lack may cause this Wonder to degrade.
Sacred Warding
The greatest gift ever given to the People by one of their old, Pagan gods. This system involves the careful management of cattle so that their strength may be added to the People, alleviating them of the burden of starpox and greatly blunting all other epidemic diseases.
Warning: Requires a highly organized state with adequate religious resources to continue. Disruption in the chain of sacred warding may result in its irrecoverable loss.
Written Code of Laws (Early Medieval): Health focused
Stretching back to the very dawn of writing, the codes of the People are ancient beyond compare, repeatedly updated to deal with a changing world. The purpose of these codes have always remained the same: health, growth, and the preservation of life. At its most fundamental, the People have selected laws that will ensure all members of society are carefully nourished and enabled to reach their full potential.
The People's Palace
A grand structure built at the heart of Valleyhome, the palace serves dual purposes as the administrative nerve center of the Ymaryn's sprawling kingdom as well an opportunity to demonstrate the power, wealth, and puissance of the People's artisans.
Notable Additions: The Hall of Stars, Parliament, Shrine of Kings, Central Library, Grand Stockpile, and Prototypic Factoria.
The Great Games
Dating from before the God Fist, the People's games contain a series of athletic competitions, displays of violent might, and forum to display the skill of the People's artisans. Its purpose was always to manage rivalries between different factions within the People as well as in neighbouring countries who were invited to attend. It also serves as a one of the few ways in which the People remain in contact with their neighbours.
Imperial Examination
A series of exams developed by the People in order to select civil servants, the Imperial Examinations are a series of mind-bendingly difficult tests administered throughout the Kingdom. While not officially limited to graduates of one of the People's Academies (who are mostly urban patricians, wealthy gentry or guildsmen), it is effectively so due to the general difficulty of the examination. Graduates of these examines can generally be certain of a position within government, but rising marks over the years have led to ever finer gradations of assessment on the test. Subjects examined include: physical fitness, rhetoric, logic, mathematics, history, law, religion, administrative procedure, and military strategy.
The Doomsday Book (Early Medeval Census)
A collection of every cow, carrot, child, and coin that could be found in the Ymaryn Kingdom, this set of records shows how everyone is fed, paid and organized. In times of great strife, it serves as the basis to levy pesants for labour and war. It allows the Ymaryn to better plan for and respond to disaster.
Warning: Currently defunct as a result of The Dissolution.
Warning: Lack of an active Census prevents activation of the Mass Levy!
