Elven Confederacy

Occupying a large portion of a northern continent is the Elven Confederacy, where the bulk of Elven nations reside. Controlled indivudally by various member states, the Elven Confederacy acts as a single body only in times of war or diplomacy. With no solid capital or true leadership, the Confederacy holds yearly meetings in a member nation voted on at the previous meeting. Such events are a time of great celebration for the long lived Elven people and are generally held once every century.

The Elven Confederacy operates a large maritime trade fleet that travels the globe to ports that they deem friendly to their people. Those civilizations deemed to warlike are often times left alone though Dark Elven traders are known to trade with those the Confederacy deems inappropriate. This Trade Fleet trades Elven goods with those nations they deem friendly, trading goods they've received in other ports to nations they do not wish to grant with their fine goods though have been known to inflate prices instead of simply refusing to trade their crafted goods to other nations.
