Doshairiel is one of the oldest nations on Gathandia, having been founded by the star elves before the events of written history. As elves are long-lived and can communicate with one another in their dreams, Doshairiel has a complicated and highly functional governmental system. | |||
While star elves and forest elves are both highly populous in Doshairiel, the nation is home to many [[lineages]] from across the continent. | While star elves and forest elves are both highly populous in Doshairiel, the nation is home to many [[lineages]] from across the continent. | ||

Doshairiel produces a bounty of timber, foodstuffs, and animal byproducts. In addition to trading internally, Doshairieli merchants also trade with [[Betaal]] and whoever they can safely reach via the Inner Ocean. They also trade with Falth, though successful merchants that do so are careful not to get swindled or sucked into a blackmail scheme with one of the crime lords. | Doshairiel produces a bounty of timber, foodstuffs, and animal byproducts.

Doshairiel’s military is centralized and commanded by generals appointed by the oligarchy. Its military commanders study philosophy and magical practices as much as military theory, implementing both knowledge bases into their training regimens and [[combat]] techniques. Doshairieli soldiers, especially those stationed near the Inner Sea where raids from Renden are common, are quite competent. | Doshairiel’s military is centralized and commanded by generals appointed by the oligarchy.
