Eoriin

The Kingdoms of Eoriin, also called the Eoriin Hegemony, refer to the collection of allied elven monarchies located primarily along the continent of Corellos on Alterra, but also include territories within the Underdark, parts of the Manu'an Archipelago, and along the western peninsula of Umaes. Ath Kerym acts as Eoriin's national capital. The nation's largest city is Ath Alu. Other notable cities include Keymoira, Ellothyr, and Ath Corellon.

Geography
Much of the continent of Corellos is dominated by forest and jungle.

Amakiir Wood

The Amakiir Wood is a large broadleaf forest dominating much of the northern region of Eoriin. Ath Kerym and Keymoira are located within these woods. Many settlements within the Amakiir Wood are the result of Treesinging, wherein buildings and even entire cities can be grown and molded out of living trees.

Mistheart Rainforest

The Mistheart Rainforest covers the southern border of the Sea of Alu along the western peninsula of Corellos. A deep, primal jungle, the Mistheart Rainforest is considered to be the ancestral birthplace of modern elves. The oldest known elven civilizations are theorized to have originated within the Mistheart.

Corellon's Landing

Corellon's Landing is an area of rich savanna along the southern border of Eoriin. The region is so named for the city of Ath Corellon - the supposed birthplace of Corellon Larethain, the hero-god of elvenkind.

Alleloan Wetlands

The Alleloan Wetlands refer to the large swamplands along the northern coast of Eoriin. The Serpent's Maw, a vast, cavernous sinkhole leading to the Underdark, is located within the wetlands.

Godhead Mountains

The Godhead Mountains are a mysterious range of floating mountains along the borders of Eoriin and Zzhezarra. Untethered to the surface of Alterra, the Godhead Mountains remain largely unexplored and untouched by elven civilization.

Demographics
The majority of Eoriin citizens are those with elven blood, be them full-blooded elves or otherwise. Mellifera are common in southern Eoriin, as the kindgoms border the Zzhezharran Hive to the south, and tabaxi are often found in ports along the northwestern coast.

Since the War of Light and Shadow in the 5th Era resulting in the Sack of Menzoberranzan and the dissolution of the Empire of Lolth, drow have become increasingly reintegrated into the surface world.

Politics
The Kingdoms of Eoriin is a federal constitutional monarchy made up from a federation of seven hereditary tribal monarchies called Courts. It is governed by a supreme Court, the Court of Swords, composed of the ruling monarchs of Vor Thomil, Cendriane, Mythrandain, Á Deinnaré, Ardenais, Senonceaux, and Vandorra. All responsibilities not granted to the national government are reserved to the individual monarchy. The current High Queen of the Court of Swords is High Queen Ariandel of Vor Thomil.

History
The settlements that would become the kingdoms of Eoriin were first settled thousands of years ago. The first elven civilizations arose within the Mistheart Rainforest some time in the 1st Era; archaeological evidence suggests Ellothyr to be the oldest continually inhabited settlement in Alterra, with records dating back to at least 1E 9550.

The kingdoms themselves were organized into the hegemony of states present today after the War of Elven Unification in the early years of the 3rd Era.
