Huldanassed

Huldanassed is a Qosidian commune in the Old Forest. Huldanessed is self-sufficient and its members are renowned for their hunting and tracking practices. Their decisions are made by majority vote. Huldanassed is often sought out if areas are suffering from predators or monsters and many of those who live in the commune at some point become nomads.

Demographics

Huldanassed consists of solely wood elves. The division of labour in the commune is strong, with hunters, trackers, skinners, cooks and druids being fixed and specific roles.

Government

Huldanassed employs fluid hierarchies, in which task proficiency determines who leads. For example, strategies for hunting are determined by the most experienced hunters and scouting missions are led by the most perspective scouts. There is a possibility to argue against the decisions and insights of leaders, but such is seen as an attempt to claim authority and must therefore be backed by valuable contributions.
In case of competing insights between authorities, the relevant leaders make their case during an assembly and all commune members are invited to join the leader they deem most qualified. The leaders then decide what the proper course of action is: sometimes distinct groups can follow distinct directions, while other times it is more reasonable to follow the lead of the larger group.
For the role of Representative, the commune chooses a Wind Walker, who is the fastest tracker of the commune. This is done so that if a mandate is needed for a Thallidien Assembly, the Representative can meet with dispersed commune members, including the nomads.

Defences

The Huldanassed area is littered with traps and camouflaged guards. Although there are no systematic hostilities against the commune, their hunting sometimes angers others species, as well as spirits and fey. Huldanassed is always prepared for any retribution by those who may have been outsmarted by the commune in the past.

Industry & Trade

The hunting done by the commune feeds the village and leaves little for trade. However, the capacities of the hunters are sought out by other communes, who may be plagued by a particular predator or monster. In return, Huldanassedians have access to the gift economy, although they make little use of this.

Infrastructure

Huldanassed members live in small, camouflaged huts distributed across a wide area and connected by inconspicious tracks and trees connected by rope bridges. For those in the commune, it is easy to navigate the village, but outsiders might not even notice they are in a village, save for a single concentration of buildings that serve communal life. Here, Huldanassedians meet for assemblies, perform religious rites, do craftwork and meet socially.
