## History

The Lunrune family has lived in area of Arrith Natel since the fall of the Trevious Empire in the mid 12000s. The Lunrune family took the opportunities of the opening up of trade to open a series of merchant premises, many of which they let on to tenants. The family, like many others was thinned in number by both the Red Fever and the quickly following Winter. The Lunrune's, having amassed some wealth were somewhat protected through these events and also worked to save other elven families with fewer resources.

Through the turmoil of the period the family worked to maintain relations with all parties that were willing to trade and had funds to do so, in addition they used those funds in Arrith Natel to build schools and places of public beauty. The family were held in high regard and were often consulted in times of difficulty due to their reputation as fair and evenhanded folk.

Elizabeth's father was involved in the signing of the Starlight agreement, although not in an official capacity. He worked behind the scenes as an influencer of the key Elven houses, helping bring them to the table. Elizabeth was born several years later and her early memories are of her father smoking his pipe and wading through reams of paperwork. Many people would visit to ask his advice and opinion and he was generous with both his wisdom and his money.

Coming up to her 80th birthday the early signs of war brewing rippled through Degrin County. The Eastern states against the Heartland Constituents. It was around this time that she left Arrith Natel, heading west to safer lands for supporters of the Constituent.
While the decendents of the old Trevious army had not always been good the woodelves, they were better than the East Rebels. She left home one evening and joined the Queens army. It was clear to all that Elizabeth, though young, was clear headed and determined and had a grip on strategy out of keeping with her years. She was welcomed into the ranks and, although not officially "a leader" many things were discussed with her over mead around the campfires. In addition to strategy she was good with a sword and bow and a fearless fighter. One night after a little too much mead she had her lip pierced (together with all her comrades around the fire that evening).

Unfortunately during the ensuing civil war many of those pierced comrades did not survive and although the country emerged united at the end of the war Elizabeth was forever changed by what she witnessed during those times.

Nearing the end of conflict the city of Arrith Natel was taken back form the East Rebels. Elizabeth lead a small platoon of soldiers as part of the force tasked with taking back the city her family called home. After the dust of battle settled, and the city was safely in the hands of the Constituents, she found her beloved father had died some months earlier under while the city was under rebel occupation. She took his pipe; and now smokes this whenever she feels pressured, unsure, lonely or in need of comfort.

Elizabeth took her father's place in the family. She had aged during the war and now spoke with assurance and clarity. Her families ansestorial home had changed over the war and was in need of much rebuilding. In the same way as generations before her she used her wisdom to make wise investments, she used her wealth to support the people of the city. She gradually became more and more involved in the local politics of the city and worked closely with the guard captains to ensure a well drilled and non-corrupt town defence. She took the time to travel widely around Degrin County and had a good grip on the local challenges within all 7 shires.

She served as city steward under the old mayor Kellig, a Gnomish man. She was elected for Mayor fist in the year 20,103 and is currently serving her fourth term, after winging the vote over form the previous Mayor Ronald Mowbray.
This broad knowledge and passion led her to be elected Mayor and she takes her position as lead for the county very seriously. Elizabeth has never married. She is fiercely independent and "doing the best job" is her main goal in life.

Mayor Lunrune is not only the mayor of Arrith Natel, but also one of the five stewards of the Stretch, and the head of Degrin County. As such as has a very busy job and is often to be found in her office smoking a dark gray stone pipe and looking generally tired and worn down.

She is officaly in charge of running the 7 shires of Degrin counties but she leaves that up to the Sheriffs, running a loose chain of control offering advice rather than orders in most things.
