Aelfgarad is a country in the the northwestern corner of continental Otan. It is predominantly populated by the Friggaelf substrain of Aelfs. It is governed by a royal council, the Head Council of which also bears the title of King. Aelfgarad is also home to the slightly more mysterious Dunaelfs and their coastal areas are often demarked in the fashion of land territory as they are inhabited by the aquatic Brimaelfs
Population
Aelfgarad's 3.8 million inhabitants live mostly in the forest, despite the relatively huge size of its captital of Bealu. The inherent dangers of the deep forest are mitigated by the forest dwellers through their ability to camouflage themselves and their homes, making them difficult prey for wandering creatures, even while sleeping.
Strains
While over three million of Aelfgarad's citizens are of the Friggaelf substrain, the capital of Bealu is comparatively cosmopolitan with a large number of Dunaelfs and even the very rare Wyrmaelf and Brimaelf substrains represented. The latter are able to adapt themselves for life above the waves. Even the occasional Wodeaelf can be found in Bealu as the two primary Aelfen cultures keep regular tabs upon one another.
Language
The Aelfen language is the predominant language spoken in Aelfgarad. Unlike the dialect spoken in Aelfwode, however, the Aelfgaradian dialect is extended with a formal version of the language which is used to address strangers or people of rank. Words like 'you' and 'yours' become 'thee' and 'thine' when addressing a stranger or dignitary.
This formal dialect might fall into disuse in common haunts such as taverns, even common craftsmen such as fletchers and bowyers will address their clientele with formal pronouns and other formal manners of speech.
