Morthyr
Morthyr is one of six elven factions of the Elven Alliance. It lies on the northern coast of Durarin. Especially the northern forests in Morthyr are known to be cursed and forbidden to enter. The elven population of Morthyr is mostly Woodelves and after sylvans.
Geography
River Esgalduin splits Morthyr from its neighbour Lonthrad. The territory of the faction measures about 50000 square miles. Its capital is the only city-like place in the whole faction, called Malos Ezel.Climate
Morthyr is located in the northern temperate climate zone. Temperatures reach from 0°C in winters to 24°C in summers. Similar to all other elven factions, the weather in Morthyr is influenced by magic. It has rather high precipitation, allowing large forests to grow. Additionally, the magic protects the territory of the faction from freezing temperatures.Vegetation
The flora and fauna in Morthyr are very rich and diverse. Especially wild animals living in the woods reach outstanding numbers. On the other hand, grazing animals and domesticated farm animals are rather rare. Due to the high influence of woodelves and other sylvan creatures, most places in the faction are overgrown, natural, and untouched by civilization, similar to Aendari. The northern parts of the province, however, are dark, dried out, and cursed.Politics
Morthyr is reigned by 2 aristocratic families. Each family claims a seat in the Elven Alliance. Additionally, another noble family, which isn't part of the government claims a seat in the alliance to balance out the strength of the faction and make up for the deceased family from Esteljhi. Instead of assigning different tasks to different families, the aristocrats just take over governmental tasks and decide on laws and who to put up to solve specialized tasks. The right to rule over Morthyr is inherited and can not leave the noble bloodline. In case of extinction of a noble family, the name is removed from the government and is not replaced. All three noble families are led by woodelves:Noble families of Morthyr
- Yexina (Woodelf)
- Balxalim (Woodelf)
- Thorquinal (Additional, Woodelf)
