King's Council of Gladewynn

Preamble

The Kingdom of Gladewynn formally established 15th of the Sun’s Smile, 1686, is the preeminent elven military power in the Realm of Atlas. Its capital, Viralondë, is referred to as the largest elven commercial hub in the known world. Consisting of the remnants of the Gladewynn Company, Haelun’or and the Dominion of Malin, the Kingdom of Gladewynn’s ultimate goal is to foster security, wealth, unison and wisdom for all elves everywhere.

The Institution of Monarchy

"The democratic systems of the past have led the institutions of the Princedom of Malinor, Conclave of Malin, and the Dominion of Malin astray from representing the people. In their place oligarchies grew and branched out into elven politics, confusing and declawing the common elf from possessing reasonable sensibilities and inclinations involving matters of state. By means of a social contract, the Ithelanen Clan are now the unilateral rulers of organized, disciplined and reformed Elvenesse -- they are expected to represent the best interests of the people and act as guides to all men and women beneath Gladewynn’s banner, and the Crown is passed from the King to his acknowledged “firstborn” Heir; whose powers are relegated and decided on by the Crown itself." - Government of Gladewynn
