Ouliryn

The City of Ouliryn is a prosperous, maritime city on the eastern isles of the Merlieu Peninsula. People from all edges of the Merian Sea pass foot through the streets of Ouliryn. Srey and Ouliryn are constant rivals in their race to become dominant, rich cities; however, Ouliryn is proud of its anti-tyrannical government in the form of L'Autorité.

Government
Ouliryn is governed by the guilds, after declaring they would never deal with the tyranny of monarchs since the fall of the Merian Empire. The city’s many industries are regulated by the guilds, who each have a single vote in who the Dalle is every two years. The Dalle then decides which members from the guilds will vacancies on L'Autorité. This creates a system of many backroom deals between the guild masters.

Currently, Germain Besnard is the Dalle. He has chosen the replacement for two chairs out of ten in L'Autorité in his first year.
