The Frozen Throne of Eirilys

The Frozen Throne stands as the central authority of Eirilys, the frozen kingdom of the snow elves nestled high in the mountain valleys of Eiri. This ruling institution wields absolute power over the city and its laws, ensuring the safety, secrecy, and prosperity of Eirilys and its people. At the heart of the Frozen Throne is a single monarch, a figure who embodies both leadership and guardianship, supported by a network of advisors, guardians, and mystics.

For the past several centuries, the Frozen Throne has been occupied by Queen Isalyrn, a stalwart and revered leader known for her wisdom, resilience, and deep connection to the mystical forces of Eirilys.

The monarch of Eirilys is not merely a ruler but also a guardian of the Ice Gate, a powerful and enigmatic portal whose secrets are known only to a select few. The throne demands a balance of leadership skills and mystical dedication, as the monarch’s duties are twofold: The monarch works in close partnership with the Frostmaiden, the ethereal guardian of the Ice Gate. Together, they safeguard the portal, whose existence holds ancient and arcane significance to Eirilys. The ruler must ensure its secrecy and defend it from external threats, a sacred duty that transcends mere governance.

As the sovereign of the city, the monarch oversees the administration of laws, defense, and the well-being of the snow elves. From managing resource distribution in the harsh frozen environment to ensuring the unity of Eirilys’s people, the monarch serves as a steadfast protector of the kingdom’s stability.

To aid in the governance of Eirilys, the monarch appoints a trusted council of advisors, each chosen for their expertise and loyalty. Many of this circle consist of wise sages and mystics. Wise practitioners of ancient snow elf magic and lore, these individuals provide guidance on spiritual and arcane matters. They also assist in interpreting omens and maintaining the mystical traditions of the city. There also exists the elite leaders of the Frostguard, the monarch’s private band of special guards. These warriors are sworn to protect both the ruler and the city, their loyalty and combat prowess unmatched. Appointed resource stewards act as experts in managing the city’s resources, ensuring the survival of Eirilys’s people in the harsh, frozen environment of the mountain valleys.
