The Elysian Federation

The Elysian Federation is a sprawling collective of twenty-six states, anchored around the ridge of the Skystone Peaks. While each has its own nomenclature and government, within the structure of the Federation they are known as the Twenty-Six Nomes, and their leaders as the Nomarchs.
In addition to the Nomarchs, the seven leading citizens of each nome are given the status of Federal electors, charged with appointing a representative – usually, but not always, from among a royal court or a similar social structure – to speak for them on the Council of Twenty-Seven, which meets in the capital city of Concordia, in the western foothills of the Skystone Peaks. The twenty-seventh seat on the Council is taken by the Stonelight, the overall leader of the Federation, who is elected by the Nomarchs.
The Federation was formed in stages. The first eight nomes were part of the original pact of unification, known as the Blessed Concordance. The other nomes were added at various points over the past two thousand years.
