Arcadian Consortium

The Arcadian Consortium is the collection of nations united under the Arcadian Council. It was founded 891 years ago by Grand Matriarch Elora Erthana and Elder Odayaris Sparklebrass on the island of Arcadia, which also marks the high elven nation of Althuan and the gnomish clans of Glimmeroog becoming the consortium's first member states. Since its founding, most civilized nations within the known world have joined the consortium, and its ruling council has even been expanded by the addition of the Dragonborn.

Former colonies belonging to the member states are generally considered to be part of the consortium within the authority of these member states. As these former colonial territories gain more independence, the political discussion on whether these nations should gain independent representation within the consortium continues to gain increasing importance.
