The Crown of Amaethea, colloquially and originally known as Elvenesse (Ancient Elven: Marmali'nor), is the eminent realm of Elves upon the continent of Almaris. It is situated upon the temperate western peninsula known as the Arm of Malin in the political region of The Hinterlands. The heartland of the nation is held within the enclosing ring of the Orocarne Range: a natural defensive encirclement of mountains that protect the capital city Caras y Tennallar. Further west is the forest of Dorthonion and the Village of Oswin.
Modelling itself as a united realm for all descendants of Malin and a spiritual successor state to the ancient Holy Princedom of Malinor, Amaethea is a beacon of unification to all elven kind. The nation is a direct successor to the Principality of Aegrothond. The nation was founded in Almaris by former High Prince Fëanor Sylvaeri to signify the union of Aegrothond and the Matriarchy of Siramenor as a single entity. Following his abdication and retirement, Evar'tir Oranor rose to power as High Prince, and reigned for 56 years (22-78 SA), overseeing a slew of domestic and foreign changes. Upon his abdication, Kosher Daesmon ascended to the newly titled position of Prince Royarch. Kosher Daesmon resigned after fifteen years of reigning in favor of his son, Acanthus Daesmon, who was groomed from birth for the position and guided by a council of elders and scholars from a unique background.

Religion

The Wild Faith is a faith about the natural order of life with a special focus on the balance. The two main figures of the Wild Faith are The Mother and The Father, these two figures are the Ying and Yang of the faith. "Where the Mother embodies life, the Father is death. Where the Mother embodies growth, the Father is the hunt. Where the Mother represents the gentleness of femininity, the Father is the strength and firm hand of men." Within the religion itself also exist the druids who are keepers of the balance.
