The Midlands

The Midlands

The first of the truly established nations of Gelduran is the Midlands, an ancient and thriving land that has always belonged to the Elves since the day they first walked the land.

It was once known as Elthemriel, meaning Great Green Land, but it was later changed to the Midlands.

The Midlands is covered with vast green forests and even greener grass, with large green plains and barely any hills or mountains. As the name states it lies in the center of all of Gelduran, and therefore they are surrounded by many other nations.

It is home to the largest forest on Gelduran, the King Forest.

The capital is Gerindon, though many Elves still refer to it with its old name; Gel‘Galath.

Government

The Midlands is a mix between democracy and a monarchy. The Midlands are ruled by the Council of the Silver Tree, which exists of thirteen members all from powerful backgrounds; generals, Bright Fathers, heroes and more. New members are chosen each decade, and each of the possible candidates can be from all possible backgrounds. The only three roles that will always be present in the Council of the Silver Tree are the general of the Elven army, a representative of the Bright Church and a representative of the Elven people.
