The Neldë Mardi

Structure

The Nelde Mardi is headed by the high kings of the three elven kingdoms. They act collectively as a council, creating rules and edicts that are meant to benefit the entirety of the elven lands. Under the kings are a number of councilors and lesser nobility, generally tasked with the operation and legislation of the nation from which they hail, while also acting as advisors to their respective king.

Public Agenda

The only concrete and constant goal of the Nelde Mardi is the benefit and furthering prosperity of the elven race, some times above or to the detriment of others.

History

One of the oldest surviving organizations on Thea, the Nelde Mardi formed during the height of the Empire of Thrain as a political block of three principalities in order to promote the wellbeing of its primarily elven population. Following the fall of the empire, the principalities consolidated into the three elven kingdoms that have persisted to modern times.

Demography and Population

The Nelde Mardi is an almost exclusively elven group. It is not that there are specific laws preventing other races from rising to positions of power within the three nations, but rather that it takes time to earn the respect of the elven population, and most respectable lengths of time to an elf are lifetimes to other races.

Territories

The Nelde Mardi controls the three elven kingdoms of Tarminas, Aeluin, and Laure Solor.

Military

While not fully accounted by any outside nation, it is assumed that the armies of the elven kingdoms are sizeable. In the few instances when elven soldiers have been called to the battlefield in recent history, they have been universally praised and feared for their prowess and efficiency.

Foreign Relations

Due to their strict adherence to the promotion of elven values and benefits, as well as the common worship of the elven pantheon, the Nelde Mardi frequently come into conflict with the Theocracy of New Thrain and the Inquisition of Thrain. During the past millennia, this had become such an issue that the Nelde Mardi banned all inquisition activity within its borders, nearly sparking all out war with the theocracy.
