Fanya Council

The original council was made up entirely of Light and Southern elves. South America still had not undergone the second event and their meager numbers drew them to eachother with a bias against the fae that also found themselves abandoned on the new world. Elitist by nature the elves saw no need to include the fae as part of the original alliance. This is perhaps where some of the political tension and disagreements still stem from between the elves and the fae. After the second event, it became apparent that the fae might actually outnumber the elves that had crossed the veil and they might offer further protection from the native species that had been hostile since their arrival. The elves re-evaluated their need for a larger alliance and included the fae in the second incarnation of the council.

Still reluctantly by some, the fae were invited to join the council in 2015. Unwilling to fully relinquish control, the Light elves retained their position as High Lord with assurance that this position would rotate through the races. Some only now start to question how long the position is retained as this was never part of the conversation, if it is a lifetime appointment, it could be centuries before the next race gets its turn.

Taurn Heru (literally High Lord)

Huor Mithrandir - One of the first Light Elves stranded on earth, Huor has "graciously" accepted to continue his position of High Lord on the council.

Heru (literally Lords)

Alatariel Anwamane - The Southern Elf representative on the council.

Amras Singollo - The Greater Fae representative on the council.

Nidhogg - The Lesser Fae representative on the council. The least human in his appearance, Nidhogg is perhaps the gentlest of the Fanya council and the most protective of all Outworlders, regardless their race.

The biggest issue is the even number on the council. Too often any vote for action is split and in the event of a split vote, the High Lord decides. This means too many affairs are truly still decided by the elven races. This is changing however as a large portion of the Outworlders now flooding the territory are neither elf nor fae. They are the equivalent of altered humans on this world , just from their own,

Putting one of their own on the council has become a cry heard throughout the southern nation. It is expected the High Lord would vote against this as suddenly his power would be diminished but the elf is also not stupid. To deny them a seat at the council could lead to an all out war in South America. The vote is coming soon and it is too soon to tell what will be the outcome.

The council has taken up residence in the Fiacruz Moorish Pavilion in Rio. This is where all the council meetings occur, the council members are even permitted accommodations within the walls though most only use it to stay the night then return to their more secluded homes throughout South America.
