Though
one of the few countries in the Flaness ruled by an elven sovereign, the Duchy
of Ulek maintains a careful harmony between its citzens of all races. The duke
advocates this harmony beyond his borders, but has met with resistance,
especially from isolationish Celene. Some of Ulek's less patient lords wish for
the duke to take action against Celene, but he remians patient favoring
diplomacy.
The duke has other worries. Recently, a blight of tree-devouring worms infested
the Silverwood and destroyed many elven tree shelters. These creatures are
apparently also the source of some desease or curse that now afflicts the wood
elves of the forest as well.
