Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

In Ulthuan, if the Kingdom of Saphire is the base camp of the followers of Hoth, then the Kingdom of Avalon is the base camp of the followers of Aisha, and the Kingdoms of Arion and Charis are the base camps of the followers of Kurnos.

In addition, Aisha’s faith is a bit abstract, a bit like... first wife, second wife, third wife?
The Everqueen of Ulthuan is the first wife, after all, she is the source of all things; Queen Marest of Laurent Loren is the second wife, separated from the eldest son of the first Phoenix King; Ariel of Athel Loren...

Here's an example. At the end of time, Alarielle's daughter was kidnapped.

One day, Alarielle traveled alone from Ulthuan to Athel Loren through the Worldroots. Although the relationship between Asrai and Ulthuan had improved greatly thanks to Finubar's manipulation, the old betrayals and contempts were not easy to forget, and Asrai did not trust her.

Despite this, Alarielle was allowed to sit in on the council, and she told Asrai about her daughter's vicious imprisonment by the vampire Manfred von Carstein, and Asur's previous failed attempts to rescue her.

She informed the Council of Eltharion's mission to rescue her daughter, but she also told Asrai that she did not believe Asur could win the battle alone. She kowtowed before the Council, and if an Asur was there at this moment, it would be like a loser seeing a goddess...

She begged the Asrai to lend whatever aid they could, if not for her daughter, or Ulthuan, then for the world.

Ariel was in the process of falling ill, and the Council took control of Athel Loren, but they talked for a long time and could not come to a conclusion.

In the end, it was Durthu who came to the rescue, and once again, though in vain... he declared in a loud voice that just as the forest had aided the Elves of Ulthuan in old times, it would do so again now, but he also warned Alarielle that this would come at a price, just as it had in ancient times.

Alarielle knew nothing of what the elder had mentioned. Her ancestors had come to Athel Loren for refuge, and she knew nothing of it. She only knew that she had taken a long nap, but she accepted it without hesitation. (Chapter 454)
The Council was unwilling to refute Durthu's decision. At that time, the relationship between the Asrai and the forest spirits had reached a freezing point, so they organized an army to try to break through the terrifying Sylvania and assist in the rescue of Asur. Perhaps this could also restore the balance between the magic network and the forest? Let the sick Ariel return to normal?

This army was led by Alaros, Lord of Tasain, Champion of Ariel, and Chosen of Lilith.

As for what happened next... (Chapter 692)
This is also the reason why Alarielle dislikes Asrai in the next era. (Actually, the Botani still have some chess pieces in stock)

But these things are all from another timeline. Now, Ariel is gone.

The third room was replaced by Alyssa who was active in Asheril?

Back to Ulthuan politics...

"How can we do politics well with this bunch of insects?"

For some reason, this sentence appeared in Finnubar's mind again, like a muffled thunder. This was not an exaggeration at all, but a fact. Sometimes his head hurt when he thought about these things.

These people, these nobles, always think about power, interests, and bloodline, but never ask what consequences these things will bring, or more accurately, they never want to really hear the voice of those "consequences". In the words of Dacus: long-lived, but short-sighted.

And these things were one of the catalysts that prompted him to make the decision...

Thanks to their proximity to Naggaroth, the kingdoms of Nagaryth, Chrace and Terenlock have suffered from the invasion of Druz. Some of their nobles are plotting a counterattack against Naggaroth. They feel that passive defense can no longer withstand the pressure of foreign enemies, and taking the initiative, or even all-out war, is the solution.

They strongly lobbied the Phoenix King and other kingdoms to support total war, claiming that "war is the only way to defend dignity and survival."

As a result, Druzil launched a full-scale war first. In addition, the most successful counterattack against Naggaroth was from the Kingdom of Yvresse, Eltharion...

But that's all in another timeline.

In addition, the Nagarys nobles, who had suffered from the war, were filled with uncontrollable hatred for the comfortable life in the Inner Ring Kingdoms - especially those high-ranking Safri nobles, who lived a comfortable life as if they had nothing to do with the war.

At the same time, some nobles from the kingdoms of Terenloc and Caledor are advocating the restoration of their past glory, conquering the lower races, regaining lost territory, and returning to Elsin Arwen.

This radical political demand quickly gained the support of a large number of traditional aristocrats.

That is, the radicals among the traditionalists...

After all, compared with the twists and turns of trade and diplomacy, the direct revival of hegemony - regaining territory and regaining former glory - is more straightforward and exciting.

Moreover, this is what happens overtly, and there are also things that happen in secret.

Two thousand years ago, a wizard named Diakuri appeared in the ancestral land of Eltharion. He was a wizard and also a great philosopher. He proposed that the mental agility required to control magic is enough to replace the awe of gods.

Though he is long gone, the Diakuri School lives on in Asur society, and its supporters conspire to weaken religion's influence on Ulthuan, particularly its interference in magical research, which they believe has affected their exploration and research of higher magic.

Instead...they are too bad.

There is also the Cult of the Forbidden Blade, a group said to have members throughout Ulthuan who are sworn to kill any Asur who seeks to remove Khaine's sword. Whenever a noble dies in a duel, rumors spread that one of the victors may be a member of the Cult of the Forbidden Blade. The shadow of this secret sect creeps deep into society like a venomous snake, and no one knows when it will strike again.

"Your Majesty, there is news that the followers of the Forbidden Blade have begun planning to kill Tyrion. These fanatical worshippers firmly believe that anyone who might pull out the Sword of Khaine and destroy the world should die. They are simply a group of dangerous fools who do not know their own limits. What is even more shocking to me is that they have recruited several very deadly duelists as the core force of their conspiracy plan." - Julian commented when reporting to Malekith.

Just as Julian said, after Tyrion arrived in Lothern, he was targeted by the Cult of the Forbidden Blade. At the banquet, a believer named Larion did not use the method of throwing white gloves, but more directly insulted Tyrion's mother and the Emerald Sea family with words, which triggered a duel between him and Tyrion.

then……

"It is rumored that Larian belongs to a sect called the Forbidden Blade, who have vowed to kill all descendants of Aenarion to prevent one of them from pulling out the Sword of Khaine again and destroying the world." - Liesel, Tyrion's cousin.

"Maybe they should kill Malekith first? He's more likely to be the candidate to destroy the world than me? I personally find this world very attractive, and I don't want to pull out the sword of Khaine and destroy the world." - Tyrion responded when he was sixteen years old.

As a result, those who understand will understand...

In addition, there are followers of Khaine, followers of Asati, followers of Slaanesh, etc. Ulthuan is also a big stage, and there is no shortage of people with unique skills. Even if the job is abstract, there are people who can do it.

The wizards from the White Tower of Hoeth are also not quiet. They are often active in the courts of various kingdoms as magic consultants. With their outstanding magical talents and profound wisdom, they are often respected by princes and nobles.

However, those who truly understand them know that these wizards are eloquent and scheming, and they often use their authority to secretly manipulate the court to gain benefits for Safri's side. They can even cleverly guide the political direction and change the fate of a kingdom.

These seemingly harmless "advisors" are often the invisible manipulators who control the power behind the scenes.

In Finnubar's mission, Fenrir played a similar role, but in the end, he disappeared...
-
Finnubar walked slowly into the meeting room and then stopped. His steps were steady and calm. He raised his chin and squinted his eyes to examine the nobles in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and his edge was exposed. Although he did not make any words or movements, the aura that made people feel oppressive had quietly swept the entire room.

Position has always been crucial in the politics of Ulthuan. Everyone's position not only represents their status and power, but also the family power behind them. At this moment, the positions of these nobles are distributed like the positions of the various kingdoms on Ulthuan.

Belanna, who was following behind Finnubar, saw him stop and did not hesitate at all. He stood still quickly and steadily, with calm eyes and expressionless face. His presence seemed to be the shadow of Finnubar, rather than the person in charge of the Kingdom of Safri and a strong candidate for the Phoenix King.

The one closest to Finnubar is Prince Valin Whiteclaw, a noble from the Kingdom of Chrace.

The left side of Valin's face bears four parallel scars, the result of an encounter with a white lion as a child that left him bloodied, and he refuses any form of magical healing.

The scar became a part of his life and his honor, and more importantly... the White Claw family's emblem is a silver lion's claw tearing red, with blood dripping from the claw tip, symbolizing the family's former glory and sorrow.

His family has lived in Targeld, which borders Nagareth, for generations. He is well aware of the cruelty of war, so he firmly advocates launching a preemptive expedition against Nagareth to avoid the disadvantages of passive defense.

He is dressed much like Korhain, and generally speaking, warriors from the Kingdom of Chrace have looked much the same over time. Red is the primary color of Chrace's military livery, symbolizing the blood its people have shed to protect their homeland and all of Ulthuan.

Of course, experts can tell from the details where these Charis warriors come from, which legion they serve in, and even their resumes and combat records.

Standing side by side with Valin was Princess Lyris Ragemane, who hailed from Tal Airlis in the north of the Kingdom of Chrace, a land adjacent to the Withered Isles where war was raging.

Liris is a typical female warrior, tall and dignified, with a cold gaze, as sharp as the double-edged battle axe in her hand. Her battle axe is called "Soul Breaker", and the handle is wrapped with the braids of a certain Druzian beast tamer. Her family emblem is a roaring golden-maned lion head, with mane curling like flames, symbolizing her family's unyielding spirit and powerful fighting power.

She is a traditionalist among traditionalists. She has publicly condemned Asrai and Ainir more than once as "degenerate bastards" like Druzy, rather than cousins.

Standing next to them was Lord Valoril Ironthorn, Tal Achar from the Kingdom of Chrace. The Ironthorn family's emblem was a broken spear entangled with thorns, with a bronze falcon perched on the tip of the spear. The reason why there were no elements related to lions was that the Ironthorn family's heritage was very old, dating back to the Council of Elders in the ancient times of the elves.

In addition, there are some families with a long history in the Kingdom of Chrace, whose bloodlines and history can be traced back to the founding of the kingdom. For example, the "Bear Heart" Breas that Daxus met in Athel Loren, the forest green pointed helmet on his head is a proof of his ancient bloodline.

For example, the Takia family...

There are also a number of families that have either been lost in time or live outside of Ulthuan.

The distribution of the territories of the White Claw, Wrathmane and Ironthorn families is very interesting. They occupy the southwest, north and southeast of Chrace respectively, forming a three-way balance of power.

Since the Ironthorn family is located in Tal Achar, the capital of the Kingdom of Charis, its family power is naturally the most powerful.

As for Cohain and Cohill...

They are not here. Cohain has to guard Bel-Hathor, and Cosir has not yet made his fortune. Besides, their backgrounds are complicated.

"Words that harness the winds of magic are important, but words that sway the minds of the powerful are the highest art." - Prince Cosqui, Prince Danor.

Who the hell is this?

Danor is Daloran's eldest son and Adeanna's younger brother.

In addition to this, he also said: His sister sought comfort in a humble Charis country boy.

And this country bumpkin is the Captain of the White Lion Guard, Cosier.

Then...

Danol was shot dead by this country bumpkin.

In Asur society, etiquette and precedent are the core values. This society, which relies heavily on etiquette and rules, requires each member to abide by the hierarchy and pay attention to honor and discipline due to its martial tradition. The words and deeds between nobles are often full of deep meanings, and subtle words and body language may contain huge political information. For this reason, many things between Asur nobles are not done through straightforward dialogue, but through a subtle language and behavior to imply each other's position and power.

The social class and title system of the Asur is also quite complex.

Every citizen who has served will receive the title of "Kalidir", which means they have passed the test of military service and obtained the status of a formal citizen.

The word "Fanio" was once a synonym for the lower class, used to refer to the Asur among the working class, but the good news is that it is now considered slang and is only used by some nobles to refer to the Asur of Avalon and Chrace.

Unfortunately, due to their background, Kohain and Cohill are among them.

After standing for a moment, Finnubar slowly turned his head and looked at the few people who had shouted the loudest just now. His eyes were still cold, like the cold wind of Naggaroth, penetrating straight into these people's minds.

At this moment, he is qualified to do so. (End of this chapter)
