Union of Four

The Rux'nacnê are a group of four mountain people: (The Foothill House, The Sisters Jade, the Rak, and the Ur'gava) forming a Trade/Protection Guild.
These tribes are all located in the Ore Mountains, but are not extremely close in proximity.
Aside from trade, each village keeps mostly to itself, but support each other in conflicts. If needed, they can have their armies to each other in 1-2 day's time to combined into a sizable army. This began during the War of the Forest to fight against the The Armored Edge.
They are governed by a council of 12 leaders. Each village elects three representatives for the council, which carries a term of three years. A 13th member is elected every two years (taking turns between each village). This 13th electee is only used as a tie breaker in case of a 6-to-6 tie vote. The council only meets tri-annually (for elections) unless an important issue arises (war, emergency, etc..).
