Elifsas

Elifsas is the capitol city of Brennis, though it is a city in rank only. It is in fact a collection of various rural communities gathered together in a makeshift democracy. A large town in its own right, Elifsas is often used as a trade hub, and a place to gather information on Brennisian politics. Should a community be in need of a monster eradication, monetary assistance, or some other favor, Elfifsas will be the first place they send for help.

Every community is given votes proportional to their population, electing officials that attend biannual summits at Elifsas. This centralization of information and decision making allows the disparate elements of the country to come together to gather make decisions to the benefit of all. Still, Brennis remains a loosely knit country, with the majority of the power resting in the hands of the individual towns that make it up. Most decisions reached by the council regard the collection of taxes, most of which are small and considered reasonable, and the enforcement of general law. The Council of Elifsas also has the authority to call the men of Brennis to arms, should a situation that requires a common defense arise. In addition to electing a council, that council elects two senators to the Anian council as well. These senators preside over all meetings of the Council of Elifsas, and break all ties.

While they do not hold seats on the council, the Elves of the Ironwood and the orcs of Clan Flatrock both send delegates to listen to any concerns that the population has. Though the two countries do not pay taxes, their large populations hold sway over the council in some tie breaking manners.
