[@Dead Cruiser] Ohh a high elf, awesome. I like this idea, and I’m sure we can work something out. Glimdale is one of the city state’s in the union, and while it’s mostly humans who live there it’s essentially a puppet stare for the high elves. They have an embassy there so perhaps your character (or their family) could have been ousted from their position there.

Otherwise, the Ellvenaan kingdom is ruled by a council with smaller noble houses (almost always mages) in each hold vying for political relevance in the eyes of said council. In Ellvenaan, unless given special designation, those with little to no magic capacity are second class citizens. I don’t want to flood the post with anymore lore you didn’t ask for lol, but if you have questions I can answer them in a DM or here.
