I would like to offer you a permanent home in the Kingdom of Pyrencia. We are the newest kingdom, forged by many hands out of the wilds of the south of hermertia. Still driven by the furnace of expansion, we have a strong sense of community and are very fond of working on builds. While you would have a good deal of autonomy under me, rest assured i would only be right around the corner should you require assisstance, and i am always very active in helping my vassals out.

Second duchy (also old-ish)
This is the only copy of my third duchy i can find >.< and you can only see the bottom point of my fourth duchy (ignore the seven)
We do have access to a wide variety of biomes for use here. Both small and large builds are appreciated, though as I mentioned we do tend to work alot in groups whenever possible, unless someone very much prefers solitude. Also, we have been known for our strangeness at time, for almost never brewing potions. We simply have such short lifespans that most of us do not bother, and many of our scholars have other matters they focus on. Perhaps even if you do not choose to settle here, you might be interested in giving a course on the subject to some of my scholars?

That is Damor, a town built by my previous vassal Celestine

As always, best of luck in selecting a liege-lord. Make sure you take the time to find a liege that suits you, but i hope to see you on the server soon. Carthi va'nothe!
Also, to answer your other questions preemptively;
1) are there any taxes/levies required of serfs in your region?
No, furthermore, i generally use a free-form sort of resource allotment, my vassals can use anything for building that i place in the mass storage facilities in Edhevrand or Faidel, as long as they try to replace it later or put something else in its place. i.e. if you have a lot of stone, but need wood, drop some stone off and take some wood and call it a day
2) do you have an exact number (or rough guess) of the current population of your region? Quite frankly I do not. A census of Pyrencia is on my lists of things to do, or make sure get done, but i have been quite busy with recent construction projects, and dammit, my people just die so quickly. We only live to be about 35 most of the time anyways
3) if you had to describe your region in 3 words, what would you say?
Community, Expansion, Robust
So that shouldn't be a problem

The goods warehouse and market stalls are also featured; the region is already a hotbed of commerce for the area.
