Nome of the Blessed Concordance
The Nome of the Blessed Concordance was formed from the Kingdom of Oros and is, in many ways, the heart of the Elysian Federation. It was part of the original Skystone Triarchy, and when that alliance threatened to dissolve into infighting after the threat of the Regime and the Legion was ended, it was Oros - and the ruling Orosi Dynasty of Humans and earth Genasi that worked to hold the factions together.
The First Nome is also the home of Concordia, the capital of the Federation, which was built specifically for the signing of the Blessed Concordance, and is by design too high in the mountains to be self-sufficient. The city is devoted to the business of government, populated largely by diplomats and their staff, and merchants who use it as an international market. It is supported by tithes levied on the electors of the nomes and taxes on trade. A resident population of custodians maintain the city, undertaking even the most menial logistical tasks with pride.
The former kingdom of Oros became the Nome of the Blessed Concordance, 1st Nome of the Federation. The Orosi Dynasty still rules the nome from their old capital of Orosa, the City of the Golden Rose. Like many genasi dynasties, succession in the family favours those who present a true genasi heritage, and they are a notably strong line, with many Orosi pursuing relationships with Elysian Dao to keep the line strong, as well as intermarrying widely with other earth genasi dynasties.
The Nomarch of the First is the Magnate of Orosa, the head of the Orosi family. The other electors of the 1st Nome are the Primarchs of the Archon and the Priest, the Governor of Concordia, the Crown Prince of Orosa (heir apparent to the Magnate,) and the heads of the three leading genasi dynasties after the Orosi; at present the Maasi and Ordin (both primarily earth genasi,) and Talos (fire genasi).
