1. Notes

Lore: Alvarium Politics 101

Miscellaneous

Relationship: Neutral / Friendly
The Dynasty remains isolationist and standoffish, however, there are a few trade agreements in place and the Dynasty is becoming more open to foreign visitors, though it must be arranged through diplomatic channels and they are closely monitored.

Relationship: Neutral / Hostile
The Kingdom of Maddox is primarily focused on warring with the trolls and serpent people to the north of their lands, however, attacks on Alvarium border outposts continue and it has been made clear that they have no interest in trade or diplomacy.

Relationship: Neutral
Only semi-formally recognised, their decentralised leadership means that there are occasional raids and skirmishes but these are minor and can often be brought to an end without overt force - they have also significantly decreased over the last decade or so. For the most part Alvarium is uninterested in the Goblin Nation and vice versa.

Relationship: Friendly
Though the Blighted Wastes along with mountains mean that they are distant and only really accessible by sea travel, relations are relatively friendly with this Saurian culture; embassies exist on both sides and numerous trade agreements having been established.

Relationship: Friendly (?)
There is no real interaction with the kobolds as a whole and little is known about their government structure (if there is any). One specific clan of kobolds have alliance with Alvarium (specifically with the "Clan of Kal" who some decades ago aided in a holy pilgrimage. A small number of kobold's actually live in Alverium.

Relationship: Hostile
Though the dwarven mountains act as a natural buffer from the orc tribes it is still not uncommon for a warband to enter into Alvarium territory and start causing problems; fortunately the tribes fight amongst themselves too much to unite and become a major threat. The one exception to this is the Steel Tribe who reside within the borders of Alvarium and are considered part of the Kingdom.


Dwarven Thaneships

Relationship: Friendly
A good relationship is maintained with Thane Horton and regular trade occurs between Alvarium and this Thaneship.

Relationship: Friendly
Although the relationship with the Thaneship is good, it is a little less accessible than Mapleward and so less trade is carried out with them.

Relationship: Friendly / Neutral
Officially they are friends of Alvarium but this Thaneship lies far enough that interactions with them are extremely rare.


Elven Assemblies

Relationship: Friendly (but aloof)
Technically an alliance exists with the elves of the Schattenwald and a few very limited trade agreements are in place; however, the elves spend very little time for diplomacy with other races.

Relationship: Friendly (but aloof)
Technically an alliance exists with the elves of Nebelholz, however, diplomatic interactions with them are virtually non-existent.
