Wardens of Syngorn

The elven city of Syngorn was established in the Verdant Expanse by the sorceress Yenlara, the wood elves’ first leader after the Divergence. Today, the city of Syngorn is safeguarded by the three offices of elders called “Wardens,” united by the High Warden. These four keep the city and the surrounding lands safe from intrusion.

Public Agenda

Goals
Maintaining the prosperity and safety of Syngorn is of utmost importance, and the Wardens believe that the elven lives they have sworn to protect are worth more than any outsider’s. The three offices of the Wardens are the Verdant Lord, the Voice of Memory, and the Guildrunner. The office of the Verdant Lord commands Syngorn’s formidable military, which is maintained throughout the Verdant Expanse, ready to be called to Syngorn’s defense at a moment’s notice. The Wardens also place a great deal of focus on maintaining and elevating their culture. The arts are respected on a very high level, and it’s not uncommon for a Syngornian to rise in social status based on proven adeptness with a craft or performance art.

Foreign Relations

Relationships
As xenophobic as their society may be, the Wardens do understand the importance of alliances and trade, and have worked with the Tal’Dorei Council for over a hundred years to the betterment of both parties. The Wardens still hold a grudge against the Houses of Kraghammer based on their alliance with Drassig many centuries ago, and Kraghammer is likewise happy to ignore Syngorn’s existence on a political level.
