Dark Areon

Race
Dark Areon is the small coastal state in the east of Areon, the region is therefore inhabited by Elves. The type of Elves that live here is a separate group, different to Gold Elves of the Gold Vale or the Wood Elves of Areon. The Elves here in Dark Areon are called "Dark Elves", these Elves have a different culture to the other Elven races.

Capital
Karth, situated in the South of Dark Areon, were it lays at the banks of the Enchanted Stream.

Allegiance
Dark Areon respects the superiority of Areon and is not hostile towards them as they are in a bad place if they would wage war with them. To the rest of the world, they remain neutral. They are known as a mercenary-state and try to benefit from wars to earn money.

Foreign Policies
As a small state is Dark Areon obligated to remain neutral or side with others, as their army isn't large enough. They, therefore, chose a rather mercenary political style. To picture it, we can divide their relation strength into 3 layers
 * 1) Strong: Areon their neighbouring country is far larger to Dark Areon. This country is just like Dark Areon an Elven inhabited country (but they do have cultural differences). Also, their bad positioning for 'war' with them makes Dark Areon obligated to ally with Dark Areon as they would be defeated in no time otherwise, as Areon outnumbers them, and there is no real environmental defence against Areon.
 * 2) Medium: Towards Ghar they have sympathies, as the orcs once conquered the region. With this occupation, they imported some of the orc traditions and mixed it with the Elven ones. Dark Areon's mindset towards Orcs is therefor more positive and respectful compared to other countries.
 * 3) Weak: The other countries of the world are can be allies or enemies, it depends mostly upon which country would pay them the most. Countries with a connection to Ghar or Areon would obviously be prioritized by Dark Areon.

Type of rule
Dark Areon is ruled by a king with direct rule. The right to be king is therefore also only obtainable by birthright.

Military strength
Dark Areon is mostly based upon gaining money from being hired, therefore they have for the size of their country a large army (still much smaller compared to the big countries), a large amount of the population has to enter the army. Their position on the beaches of the Silent Ocean gave them the need of a navy. This navy is of Medium size and mostly focused at transporting troops rather than having warships.

Dark Areon is mostly specified in offensive warfare, as they don't worry too much about the defensive aspect. Their position surrounded by Areon gives them a sense of protection.

Dark Areon does have mercenary assassins called "Draklers / Cold Bloods", who other countries can hire.

Mountains
The country is flat, there are no mountains to be seen here in the country

Rivers
The Enchanted Stream runs true the country into the ocean. People say that the healthy water that once was in the Areon, turns poisonous in the swamp areas of Dark Areon.

Forests
The country is covert by the Areon Forest, but in Dark Areon the forest has more the view of a swamp in some parts.
