Syngorn

The realm of the palid elves, Syngorn used to be much bigger and to take the vast majority of the southern part of Lightfoot Land, nowadays it is only a city-state surrounded by vast forest that belongs to the elves.  

Government

The Wardens of Syngorn are the leaders and safeguards of the elven city of Syngorn. It consists of three offices of elders and the High Warden.  
  • High Warden presides over other wardens, maintains law, and guides society.
  • The Verdant Lord is the leader of Syngorn's military.
  • The Voice of Memory is in charge of preserving Syngornian culture.
  • Guildrunner is the head of commerce, business, and the treasury.
  Maintaining the safety and prosperity of Syngorn is of utmost importance to the Wardens, who believe that the elven lives they swear to protect are more important than any outsider. The Wardens also place focus on maintaining and elevating Syngornian culture, having high respect for the arts, craftsmanship, and performance.  

Noble hierarchy

As of 1134 AD, the members of the Wardens of Syngorn are:  
  • Tirelda acts as the High Warden.
  • Celindar acts as The Verdant Lord.
  • Ouestra acts as The Voice of Memory.
  • Rawndel acts as the Guildrunner.
 

Culture

Orcs work to live, dwarves live to work
