"Few traits unite those who have waged war against all that is good in the world..."
- An ancient Philosopher
The Umrinor Cordiale is as a testament to the unity and cooperation among the Elderkin nations, fostering good relations and ensuring mutual support in both military and cultural endeavors. Formed through a combination of defensive pacts, strategic marriages, and ancient oaths, the organization has solidified the bonds between its core member states: The Empire of Tassendrel, The Divine Bastion of Umridel, The Empire of Frieredrel, and The Kingdom of Hvel'Xiren.
These elven nations, bound by shared cultural ties and a commitment to each other's well-being, have come together over the millennia to face common threats. The defensive pacts within the Umrinor Cordiale serve as a deterrent against aggression, creating a united front against external forces that might seek to disrupt the peace and stability of the Elven realms.
Marriages between noble families further strengthen the ties between member states, creating intricate webs of familial connections that deepen the bonds of trust and cooperation. These unions not only serve as symbols of unity but also provide a practical foundation for shared governance and diplomatic coordination.
Ancient oaths, rooted in the longstanding history and traditions of the Elderkin, contribute to the sacred and binding nature of the Umrinor Cordiale. These oaths, forged in times of need and shared adversity, reinforce the commitment of member states to come to each other's aid in times of crisis.
During the tumultuous period of the War of the Dawn, the Umrinor Cordiale expanded its reach as several more Elderkin nations, including the Three Dynasties, Midboria, and the dwarven nations of the Elruth Empire, the Union of the Great Holds, and the Red Mountain Dominion, unofficially joined the alliance. This broader coalition played a crucial role in overcoming the threat posed by Voskgardia, as it took an alliance of five elven emperors and three dwarven high kings to wipe Voskgardia off the face of the world.
