Government and Politics: Lauresornion is ruled by a benevolent king. Local councils bring matters before the king whenever any disputes arise. The only visitors to their island are infrequent trading ships that sail from the Valmyrrian Empire. The island kingdom has no enemies.

Economy: Lauresornion's economy is self-sufficient by need. With no other ocean-going kingdoms of the west coast of Aorlan and Beorlan, their supreme isolation has led them to rely on the abundant natural resources of the island. They have planted lush fertile gardens that produce a rich abundance of nutritious food and rare and wonderous medicinal herbs. They also thrive on their craftsmanship that produces extraordinary, enchanted items, that are highly sought after by collectors and traders from distant lands. Several times every year, trading ships from the far off Valmyrrian Empire come calling in an arrangement that is mutually beneficial for both parties.

Should any intruders threaten their tranquility, they are prepared to protect Lauresornion with formidable prowess.

History: Having resided in Lauresornion for countless millennia, the Valaeri elves have been fortunate, as the Great Cataclysm that affected distant lands left their beautiful island home untouched. Although Lauresornion's geologic origin is volcanic, all volcanic activity has long ceased, enabling the elves to transform the island into a paradisiacal garden. The beautiful, garden-like nature of the island is a testament to the Valaeri elves harmonious coexistence with nature.

Today: The island of Lauresornion, the secluded Valaeri elf kingdom, prides itself as being one of the most peaceful places in all of Raios. This breathtaking island paradise, boasts a reclusive yet harmonious society. Guided by their expertise in the arts, magic, and craftsmanship, the elves have thrived for ages, cherishing their isolation and safeguarding their haven of serenity amidst the windswept treetops and majestic peaks of their beloved home.
