The Silver Bough Concord
The Silver Bough Concord is the ruling power of the Moonlit Highlands, a secluded, windswept region veiled in silvery mists, perpetual twilight, and strange, serene beauty. This ruling body is an alliance of druids, moon-worshipping clerics, and ancient highland clans, unified not through conquest or crown, but by sacred pact and purpose. They are less a centralized government and more a spiritual and cultural covenant—each branch of the Concord representing a vital aspect of the land and its mysteries.
The Concord convenes under the full moon once every season at a council grove known as Moonsummit, where decisions are made by consensus, not decree. Though slow, this form of rulership ensures all voices are heard—whether whispered by wind, root, or ancestor.
Outsiders often misunderstand the Concord, seeing it as a superstition-bound backwater or a fragmented region with no clear leadership. Yet few dare challenge the Highlands. Those who underestimate the Silver Bough Concord find themselves lost in fog, hunted by spirits, or confronted by warriors wielding moonlit steel.
