AURS:Meiyerditch

{{aurs}

Meiyerditch is the capital of Morytania and is one of the most prosperous cities in the entire kingdom. Home of the Vampyre overlord,, this city was formally known as Hallowvale where it was half rich with slums that was increasing every day under the tyrannical rule of Queen Efaritay Hallow despite being Saradominist, and the corrupt rich ruining the city. Every day, traders from ports of the South-east come to visit and trade with the mysterious city. Meiyerditch is also RuneScape's largest city due to the size of buildings and population of how many people live there.

History
In real Gielinor Meiyerditch was once known as Hallowvale, a prosperous city inhabited by humans and Icyene. However, for Lord Drakan's hand in the overthrow of Zaros, the now-god Zamorak permitted Drakan to attack Hallowvale. He ultimately won by kidnapping King Ascertes, the husband of Queen Efaritay. Lord Drakan then forced Efaritay to surrender. His power soon extended over all of Morytania until eventually the entire region belonged to him.

Taking Hallowvale as his own, the city became a ghetto. Ruling from Castle Drakan in Meiyerditch, his power over the area is nearly absolute. The renamed Meiyerditch soon became a storing area for captured humans, who today are farmed like cattle for blood. A lone rebel resistance group, The Myreque, continue to fight against Drakan from within the city itself. As they give hope to the city's people, eradicating them has become a high priority of the House of Drakan.

Despite the massive number of humans trapped within the ghetto, the vampyre overlords have begun to fear that blood is not being collected at a fast enough rate. Until recently, the vampyres were performing experimentation upon live humans in an underground laboratory, their goal being to further understand the human body. By doing this, more efficient harvesting methods may yet be devised.

The laboratory, however, has since been sealed off, apparently in response to the accidental discovery of either the blood altar or a number of aggressive beasts, although another factor may be the reason. Despite the experimentation having ended, evidence of its horrors still remains in the underground network. Many mutilated human corpses can still be found locked in restraining devices even today.

In Alternative Gielinor Like in the real Gielinor, Meiyerditch was once known as Hallowvale, and was also prosperous, but there was a large number of slums that lived within the city, and kept increasing every day due to heavy taxes as imposed by King Ascertes and Queen Efaritay, most of it going to the rich, leaving little for the slums. Every passing day, it grew more and more, until unemployment became a serious problem in Hallowvale.

It was not until the hero named Lord Drakan came in invasion after the King and Queen. Outnumbered by many soldiers, King Ascertes was taken as prisoner by Drakan and Efaritay forced herself to surrender. The victory that Drakan came, heard many signs of fear from the Slums and Nobles. Though, instead of beginning his reign of terror, he begun a reign of reformation and re guidance of all of Morytania.

Renaming the city to Meiyerditch, Drakan begun to start on a inner city crusade to destroy all of the Saradominist worshiping temples in the former Saradominist city. When all of the Saradominist churches were successfully converted to Zamorakian, Drakan ordered to heavily tax the rich, and started the blood tithing on the local populous.

Unlike in the real Gielinor, the tithing was far less harsher. People were due to give a small portion of their blood every three weeks. If any extra blood was taken, they would be offered to have it returned to them without any extra charge. The corrupt was given twice the amount of tithing until they learn to accept the errors of their ways. The Slums for the first few months had their tithing reduced by 10%.

After over a thousand years to the current year of 169, the conditions in Meiyerditch begun to grow more and more, but the citizens became more darker and darker as they adapt to Vampyre and Zamorakian way of living. It was to this day, new clothing was created as the same colour of the Vampyre Juvinate but more different as their clothing is more red trimmed with black robes and tops. Despite the prosperity of Meiyerditch, the Myreque under Safalaan Hallow, Calistdu and Verlif Hurtz was formed, but with a different goal, and that is to take down the Zamorakians of Meiyerditch and convert them back to Saradominism, and to kill Drakan.
