Felfalon Ríocht
A Ríocht of only wood and dark elves that broke away from the Illamel after they were abandoned by the high elves to suffer the Harrowing.
Structure
Much the same as the Illamel they are ruled by a Rialóir that is elected by a Seanad. However in the Felfalon anyone can put themselves forward to stand as Rialóir. It is not exclusive the upper classes same with the Seanadóirí. Due to many dark and wood elves falling to the Harrowing and the way the Illamel was run. The Felfalon decided that things needed to be more open, the people need to have more of a voice and the chance to decide what is best for the country.
That being said the Felfalon also considers those that can fight with spear, bow and magic more valuable. In their current situation of isolation and surrounded by potential enemies and Harrowed creatures. Able bodied fighters, mages and clerics are essential to keeping their realm safe. This has led to many of the Seanadóirí also being Ceannasaí (military commanders).
Public Agenda
The core ideals of the Felfalon is the protection and preservation of their realm and peoples. They have become very isolationist and hostile towards their neighbours. Especially the County of Zaskayova and Hylliford Clan who have expressed expansionist claims on their realm.
Whether this view will evolve from solely a defensive stance into an aggresive one is yet to be observed. Though that is entirely possible. Corner a dog and it's only escape is to bite it's way out.
Military
The Felfalon's military is a lot smaller than that of it's neighbours. So it must rely on heavily on elite warrior units and unorthodox tactics. Both the dark and wood elves fight alongside each other utilizing their different strengths.
