Grenowin, His Noble Radiance, the Duke of Ulek (F 7/MU 11)

POPULATION: 15,000
DEMI-HUMANS: High Elves (12,000), Sylvan Elves (4,000), Gnomes
HUMANOIDS: Doubtful

The elven realm of Ulek is ruled by a wise and intelligent
Duke of High Elven race. Many of the human
inhabitants of the land are partially elven, and the
remainder are well-disposed to demi-humans. After
gaining independent status, these peoples were quick
to make treaties of mutual aid with Celene and the
lower Ulek states. While they do not love the Keoish,
they do not bear them enmity, and normal relations
and trade exist between the Duchy and the Gran
March and Keoland. Most traffic, however, passes
through the mountains to Celene and the gnomes of
the Kron Hills. There is a standing force of some
1,000 men and elves serving the Duke. This force
consists of a small troop of heavy cavalry, another of
medium, and a body of elvish light. The balance
(60%) consists of crossbowmen, hillmen, and elvish
archers. In time of need levies of men, elves, and
gnomes can be raised speedily.
 
 

Q: What deity or deities are venerated
by the elves in Celene (including
Enstad) and in the Duchy of Ulek?
A: Ehlonna is the primary deity among the
elves in Ulek and Celene, and she has a
strong following among elves everywhere
else on Oerth.

Q: Who allies with Celene and Ulek
against the humanoids in the
Pomarj?
A: Usually Veluna and Furyondy do so.

Q: Are the population figures given
for Duchy of Ulek and its capital,
Tringlee, for humans or elves?
A: In any entry, the figure given for population
is the area?s human population. When
actual numbers are given for demihumans
or humanoids, these are in addition to the
human population. Numbers given for city
populations are the total number of beings
(human, demihuman, etc.) living there;
unless noted otherwise, the distribution of
races is the same for the country as a
whole. In the case of Tringlee, the population
is about 55% elvish and 45% human
with a smattering of gnomes.

Q: What race is Lewenn, Count Palatine
of Ulek?
A: Lewenn is probably human. Generally it
is safe to assume that a country?s ruler is
human unless his description says
otherwise.
