>Brief Summary of Nation: A loose coalition of aristocratic houses support the oligarchic council that rules the Confederacy, almost exclusively for the opportunity to at some point get a member of their dynasty a seat on it.
Founded by 4 Messianic Elven figures centuries ago, they each shared their blood with 3 local counts, creating dynasties of half-elf aristocrats, and ordained the right to rule upon their descendants. Despite the clear power vacuum this might seem to incentivize, the blood of the elves is long since sparse and diluted after their sudden disappearance. This leaves little room for court violence and intrigue, as nobody is willing to risk spilling what elven blood still remains.
>Optional Fluff: The best way to determine the amount of elven blood an Adenni human possesses is the colors of their eyes. The original elves had variable skin colors ranging from olive to snow white, but all shared eyes of pitch black pools occupied by a ring of crimson. The darker the sclera, and the more red the eyes, the more elf blood that human possesses. This is generally a heuristic, however, in legal proceedings and official state documents, convoluted lineage receipts are far more valued, leading to an intense focus on the preservation of verified documents detailing ancestral lineages.
