The Republic of Xulde
The Republic of Xulde is a nation located in the frigid western wastes that bear it's name. It's Eldarian inhabitants have been living there below the glaciers in a large network of tunnels and town, kept both decently war and structurally steady by the use of great arcane artifacts that were brought in after the fall of the elvish republic of Argothenge with the coming of the Abyssal Flu at the very end of the Age of Creation.
The region of Xulde was here founded as refugees from the southern lands of the First Republic fled the black cloud to here, as it did not chase them in the artic winds of the West-Pole. It was then that these refugees over time formed a nation, which was ruled much in the same way that the First Republic was: With long, endless intrigue and debate within the House of the Gerousia, which often resulted in tyrants taking rulership of the republic for short period of times, before ultimately being outmaneuvered by another.
The Republic, largely isolated because of their position so far west, did over it's many centuries not have much interaction with the outside world, merely trading with some of the humans from the northern coasts, people who later would become the Holzmarkers. It is partly because of this isolationism that the Eldar of Xulde are among the most pureblooded of the Elvenkin, with especially it's noble senatorial class still being regarded as true Elves, although that would not factually be correct.
Xulde during the post-equilbric period
The Equilibrium would prove to be the immediate and brutal end of the Xuldese nation. With most of their population living in glacier-cities whose blue roofs were only kept up using magic, with the collapse of all magic, the roofs collapsed across the nation within barely five minutes after the establishment of the Equilibrium. It would instantly end 1840 years of Xuldese nationhood, with the few survivors mostly migrating to other nations such as Holzmark or Prabai, with those choosing to not mingle themselves with foreigners instead flocking to the eastern, more hospitable areas of Xulde, forming an area known as the Xuldese Remnants.
