Government
Silver Council
The Silver Council, or elheial’thilln in the ancient tongue, acts as the governing body of Haelun’or. The council itself comprises six positions including the Sohaer, Maheral, Medi’iran, and the Okariran. The Okariran (guardians) are democratically elected by the pure citizenry to preside over certain areas of the state. The Sohaer (ruler) is determined via a vote by elheial’thilln. The Sohaer may choose up to two Medi’iran (helpers) to assist them with their governing. Finally, the Maheral (most blessed) is determined by the Heial’laurir of the Talonnii. These councillors collectively oversee the Silver Sohaerate and deliberate to make the most suitable decisions to ensure the continued prosperity of Haelun’or.
Sohaer
Head of the city, both as a representative of the people, and an outright physical symbol of mali'aheral authority. Where our Maheral will stand for custom and tradition, the Sohaer shall be the embodiment of governance. With the outright advantage of power, the Sohaer bears great responsibility. He or she bears the weight of order, and the one elected to this position must possess the strength to protect the city above all else. For he or she will be the first pair of hands always, to uphold Her. Due to their great responsibility, citizens are encouraged to refer to the Sohaer as “Laurir.”
Okarir’sil
Enforcer of Haelun’or Law and protector of the Silver City. It is the Okrarir’sil who acts as the embodiment of Silver Law and manages the Sillumiran. In addition to this, the Okarir’sil constantly works to prepare the city for the eventuality of any form of assault, internal or external, to ensure Haelun’or’s continued order and security.
Okarir’maehr
Guardian of knowledge and pinnacle of learnedness, the Okarir’maehr assures that the city marches ever forth on its mission to progress. It is the Okarir’maehr which is perhaps the most revered of all Okarir, for carrying out this most blessed task.
Okarir’leyun
Guardian of the Land and keeper of all that which is material. The Okarir’leyun ensures that the city has sufficient resources in order to remain prosperous. It is also expected that they communicate often with other council members so that all have a sufficient supply of their relevant resources and report any significant shortages.
As Guardian of Beauty, the Okrarir’leyun oversees all building development in the city - ensuring each addition to the silver city is a spectacle to behold. The Okarir’leyun is not just an architect but artist in their own right. They provide the citizenry with tasteful views of Haelun’or, and are in control of upkeep of the buildings.

High Elves practice no religion, due to their belief that placing faith in an invisible deity would be the illogical thing to do. Believing dogma to be of no use to them or even detrimental to progress and innovation.
