The Southern Aristocratic Alliance
Made up of eight powerful noble houses, the Southern Aristocratic Alliance is a confederation between these houses, and benefits all of them mutually as it keeps them protected from the North.
Structure
The geopolitical entity of the Southern Aristocratic is comprised of the eight major noble houses. The names of the houses are as followed: House Bronzeguard, House Dostil, House Godders, House Grimend, House Moresen, House RoyLyon, House Skinmar, and House Timberwin. Each of these houses have a Patriarch who leads their household and are part of any major decision for the Alliance as a whole. The Patriarchs together create the Aristocratic Assembly which convenes routinely every year in order to ensure that everything is status quo and decide on any changes that affect the alliance as a whole as well as rebalance the Alliance's budget for the war. While the Patriarchs are not bound to the city of Penrith where the assembly is held, an Assembly recognized representative is available at all times in the event of a crisis that requires an immediate convening of the assembly. These representatives, known as Lord Emissary of their house, are hand picked by their patriarchs as a representative for themselves and the house in the event of their absence. The Lord Emissary position is a coveted one and a very influential position, however the representatives are required to be in Penrith as much as possible to ensure the interests of their house are represented in all discussions.
Culture
The southern part of Ealira has grown differently from the North after the creation of the Southern Aristocratic Alliance. The main difference is the reverence in the nobility system. Whether a peasant or a minor noble of the land, they have sense of identity with their major noble house. This does cause tension between the different houses depending on how the Noble house politics go. For instance, the hatred between Timberwin and Moresen is so ingrained in the individuals living in these areas that it has become the social norm and showing sympathies towards one or the other would be looked down on if not lynched as a traitor.
Public Agenda
The alliance was created to defy the weak Faairmore Emperor who took the throne and coveted the continent of Ealira. The Southern Aristocratic Alliance strives to protect southern nobility from the tyranny of the Northern Kings of old and ensure the integrity of southern nobility rights.
United we stand, together we stay.
