Ilythiiri Confederation
The Ilythiiri Confederation is the Empire of the cruel Dark Elves. This empire is located in central space and boarders all other empires.
Culture
The government of the Ilythiiri Confederation is broken up into great houses. Each great house is ruled by an Ilharess or Matron. Each Ilharess rules a planet as she sees fit and only reports to the House Council and the Valsharess on the Home world. The Valsharess or Queen is mainly a struggling figure head. She has her supporters but not enough to take control. The real power belongs with the Great House Council. The Great House Council is made up of representatives of the five most powerful Houses. The class structure on planet is extremely unbalanced and haphazard. The wealthy nobility on planet are those that own land and many slaves. The common people hold no slaves and have very little money. Slaves are what make the wheels of the empire turn. Slaves work the factories, fields, and serve the nobility. Slaves are mostly taken from the beast worlds or the common people but sometimes FSA citizenry are used as well. The Undeath are immune to the slave colors used to suppress the minds of the slaves and cannot be slaves.
Military
Much of the drow military is made up of commoners and war golems. The Nobility does not much care for battle and sends private armies into battle. The blades and guns of the Dark Elves are encased in mana allowing them to be adjusted for effect. They usually fire elemental magic at enemies but can be adjusted to fire bursts of pure energy.
