Dasima

The birthplace of the Nelyani the original land Elfinihiar settled them upon. Beneath the surface is a powerful relic of divine prevalence, an artifact so powerful that the elves within the magically protected land of Dasima are blessed with eternal life.

A typical elf will enjoy a couple hundred years as a student or neophyte, taking one of four paths to reach the status of guardian. Guardians then spend a thousand years watching the shores, the best get to crew the patrol ships, the dreadnoughts

Leadership

Goverment: Theocracy

A form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler. Since said god or deity is usually absent from decision making, a self-appointed or elected leader or leaders of the religion of said god or deity will rule instead through personal interpretation of the laws commanded by the god in that religion's written law.

 (Deity: Elfinihiar)
Established: In another age

Diplomacy

Philosophy: Isolationism

Keeps itself cut of from the rest of the world, no trade, no war, will often have a natural or magical perimeter barrier.

Geography

Capital City: Dasimir
Regions: West Forest, The Plains, East Ridge
Geography: 50% Grassland, 20% Forest, 20% Mountain
Landmarks: The Obsidian Obelisk

Possibly the most powerful artefact on the mortal plane, to stand infront of it is a great feat indeed, to be able to touch it requiers substantial willpower, other than a handfull of outsiders only elf kind has laid eyes upon it.

The artefact bestows immortality upon those that reside on Dasima, an effect that fades should they spend too long away from the island.

As well as immortality the artefact can bestow great power upon those that touch it and survive, but thats not an easy task.

Location: Hidden beneath the surface
Built (Alliance Year):
The Nebularis

This ancient device shrouds the seas surrounding Dasima in a thick fog, its a magical device of some power and requiers constant maintainance.

The fog it creates is also magical, for it diverts sea faring vessels away from the island in such a way the crew of the vessle dont even know they have been subverted, for if they plotted their course on a map it would often show them passing right through the island itself.

Should the vessles helmsman be of immense willpower it is possible the fogs enchantments could fail, on this increadbly rare occasion the fleet of Dasima is sent to intercept, althoguh every effort is made to avoid confrontation, sometimes the Neyani are left little choice.

Location: Within the city of Tell'lea
Built (Alliance Year):
The Tower of Vigilance

An increadibly tall tower, a marvel in its own right, so tall it can be seen from any point on the island.

The space in the top of the tower is manned by a collective of the most powerful Nelyani mages, each tasked with watching a section of the island and its coastline at all times.

The stairs that line in the interior number in the thousands, but the Nelyani have more effeciant ways of reaching the top.

Location: In the exact centre of Dasima
Built (Alliance Year):
The Landbridge

The landbridge, or rather, what remains of it, extends north of the island by a few hundred metres. It once connected the isalnd of Dasima to the North region, but when Elfinihiar called them hom she destoryed the bridge to prevent invaders finding Dasima and the obelisk of obsidian she created.
