This is a bit of a follow on to the thread - do elves deserve a homeland?    Let's assume that by whatever means, either rebellion or benevolence of human rulers, you have achieved a homeland.   It is intended as a refuge for all elves.   How would you organise it?

 

Would you allow the Dalish to run the show?    Would you insist on some sort of Landsmeet type council to approve an overall leader?  Would you not have an overall ruler but simply a ruling council with equal representation for the various elven factions.

 

Would you have freedom of worship?    Bearing in mind that many city elves do worship the Maker and others have converted to the Qun, would you allow them to continue to follow their particular faith?    What of those who have no religious faith and are hostile and disparaging about the Creators/Maker/Qun?

 

What would be your attitude towards other races?    Would they be allowed to co-exist in the elven state provided they did not cause trouble?    Would they be allowed a say in running affairs?    Or would all non elves be excluded totally and evicted if living on the land now considered elven?

 

Would you be isolationist and attempt to be largely self sufficient or would you actively engage in trade with other nations?    Would you send ambassadors to make your case with other rulers and would you allow the same?    Would you have an army patrolling borders and keeping out intruders and non elves.

 

Everyone may have their own particular view about the truth of what happened in the past and this may inform your ideas about the best way to run your homeland but for the most part I want to concentrate on the future and how you would use your homeland?

I thought the title of the thread was "How would you ruin a homeland?"

 

...and I thought, "That's awesome. What an appropriate question."
