## Diplomacy

### Laws

The Woodland Realm has no particular rules, other, of course, than those of the server. However we encourage care with trust of others, yet attempts at reducing conflict.

### Chain of Command

Dalek is currently Queen and takes decision but will willingly take advice from members and change plans. The realm also takes advice from trusted friends in other factions, such as Lord\_Feanor, Zhatelier or Durin\_I

### Alliances

#### Yavanna's Guild

Co-Founder and Member of Yavanna's Guild

The Woodland Realm is a member of, and co-founder of Yavanna's guild,
 an alliance named after the valar of life and nature, Yavanna, which is
 Quenya for Giver of Fruits. She was responsible for all things growing in
middle earth and her best accomplishment was the trees of Valinor, whose
 light is now only available through the essence captured in the
Silmarils, and partially through the fun and the moon. Yavanna is therefore, at least in the mind of it's members, a
 very good name for a peace treaty founded by the realm and former ent
now king of Gondor Glawaron. Glawaron however left the server, and Gondor engaged in dubious war and changed leaders and was therefore momentarily out, but then was accepted under it's new king, xTimPugz

Other members include:

Lossoth, ruled over by Zhatelier

Lorien, Ruled by Lord\_Feanor (formely known as LordCeleborn, \_Thranduil\_)

Rohan, ruled by Glawaron

#### Other Alliances

WholockianDalek, Queen of the woodland realm, is currently virtually married to xTimPugs, now ruler of Gondor. This is friendship and has no military implications as gondor is already is Yavanna's Guild

The Woodland realm and Dale are in a mutual pact of non aggression (basically we don't hurt each other).

### Warfare

The Woodland realm has seen no major wars yet. There were a few with no
real fighting during Paddan's time. No war has been declared or fought
under WholockianDalek and there are no current expectations of any kind
of conflict. There have been small conflicts with players but nothing major. The woodland realm participated resource wise to the Isengard-Gondor war but did not actually fight.

## Lore of the Wood-Elves (Server History)

The Silvan or Wood elves started as a mixture of Nandorin (Who were
one of the groups of Eldar, who are the elves who visited Valinor) and
Avarin (Elves who decided to stay in Middle earth) decent. They lived in
 Greenwood forest (former name of Mirkwood, before it was corrupted by
Sauron). The Woodland realm then stayed with it's ways of life unchanged
 for over a millennium. The Silvan elves however helped the Last
alliance of Elves and Men in the war against Sauron, at the end of the
second age, and king Oropher fell, his son taking over ruling of the
realm.

The Realm then lived peacefully for another millennium till the
sorcerer arrived in Dol Guldur, the hill of sorcery. At this point, the
woods became infested with spiders, orcs and other savage beings. The
elves were forced to stay in the northern part of the forest. The forest
 then became known as Mirkwood forest. The Elves survived and kept up a
more cautious life, but continued trade with Erebor and Dale. This
however ended with the dragon Smaug and they grew even more distrustful
of strangers, their only outside contact being with the men of Laketown.

It is at this point in history that the server begins

Paddan was founder of the faction, the current queen being the second person to join

There was a conflict between who would get the throne as TalkIsCheap also thought he had started the faction. Paddan then won the affection of all the elves and got the throne.

The halls were a build created mostly by PancakePoncho and Paddan. The build was then passed on to WholockianDalek

During Paddan's reign, a virtual marriage was formed with SweetHotCakes, former queen of Lorien. Swee then brought the realm into many "wars" except no battles were actually fought.

During this period, there where strong ties between the Woodland realm and Fangorn Forest, but the latter faction was disbanded.

Paddan grew inactive and the people of the realm chose their new ruler, though the "people of the realm" was WholockianDalek. She then became Queen.

Didici joined us as Steward but then left for another faction.
