Ishgard

Acording to the Enchiridion, the book of holy scripture in the Ishgardian Orthodox Church, the Holy See of Ishgard was founded when Kind Thordan led the Eladrin to the promised land of Coerthas. The dragon Nidhogg attacked them, killing the king, but his son Haldrath took the wyrm's eye and forced him to retreat. In the wake of the king's demise, Haldrath refused the crown and became the first Azure Dragoon. The Eladrin chose to put power in faith, annointing an archbishop as sovereign of their new nation with the remaining knights founding the four High Houses of Ishgard.
Nidhogg and his Dravanian Horde waged a thousand-year war against the Ishgardians, attacking them fiercely between longs periods of rest. Though the Holy See was part of the former Aldenard Alliance, it withdrew its support in 1562 of the Sixth Era to focus on the Dragonsong War, isolating the main city from almost all outsiders. When the Seventh Calamity struck ten years later, Coerthas became trapped in an eternal winter.
Unlike most of Aldenard's city-states, which feature diverse races, the people of Ishgard are almost entirely made up of Eladrin with a minority of Humans and a very small number of any other race.
