Greetings!
My ingame name is Swigly, pleasure to meet you all. I'm 26 and have been playing minecraft for longer than I thought (I guess since release). Love many aspects of it, its been the only game thats captivated me for this long. Always up for some redstone computing, but my expertise is in architecture and design. I've joined and hosted many small servers before, mostly amongst my friends. (Don't know if related) I've also played many a DnD. Found you guys on reddit, and became absolutely intrigued with the lore and history. From the evolution of religions to the founding of the modern governing society, or organic law. Love how the conflict shifted from more barbaric wars, to chivalry. Would like to start out under a duke / duchess and help with local city or county expanding (preferably with a more water-based place). And eventually work my way to starting work on the next homeland for my people.
Here's some of my previous builds

I come from a proud line of Dwarven masons and carpenters. The Greater Swale was our home for many generations. Unlike the Dwarves of the mountains and hills, we found sanctuary in deep forests, swamps, rivers and marshes. Water is to us as stone is to the other Dwarves. Our unique lifestyle and boating expertise helped us elude the other Dwarven and Undeard armies. Usually in an alliance with the other kingdoms of Duthar, the change in weather has left the land barren. Rainfall decreased, creeks and rivers dried up. The demand for our food and supplies grew until we were forced to leave or be ravaged. Luckily most other Dwarves fear the angry seas, and we were able to flee these rotting lands for better fortune. I, Swigly Craw of the Greater Swale, lead my family across the uncharted seas to find a new home. May our family's river flow strong once again.
Edits with answers:
-Swigly is my minecraft username
-Favorite biomes are dark forrests, swamps, ocean and jungles.
-Favorite color is purple
-I love co-building with other players, and can easily adapt the architecture or style of the build.
-If there's a land dispute, and we can't work it out between us, I'd go to my local government and file a dispute in court (still learning the systems of government, basically I'll ask a higher rank how to proceed)
Östlaed sounds like a perfect fit for me. And thanks for submitting the Ducal Bill!
(I'll check back for updates, lemme know if you need any more details!)
