Alahana

"Alahana is the traditional home of the Alahi drow. It is a capitalist's dream; much like Nekonia in many ways, the Alahi believe in self-sufficiency and success. Failure is not punished by the government; punishment itself usually comes from how the Alahana society treats the errant individual. Alahana is a collective society.

"The government is a democracy with a Chief, the head of state, and the Tribe, the regulating body. Both Chief and Tribal Members are voted into office. The Tribe has 53 member from each of the main cities and surrounding areas.

"Alahana hasn't changed much at all since it's beginning. There were always separate tribes of the Alahi drow but they seemed to get along very well, both in trade and whenever Alahana was threatened by neighboring islands. Wars between tribes were few and far between but usually very violent as extreme insults were the result of conflict.

"In 1209, the Tribes met at their yearly meeting and decided to unify under one leader but still have representation of each tribe. The chieftains decided to give the power to the Alahi people and allow them to vote for who should be the state Chief. Elections ran for a year and it was decided that Maarkus Aareli would be the Chief. Then for 6 months representatives for each area were voted in and set up for state. Bourswa, home of Aareli, became Alahama and capital of Alahana.

"Few other major changes have taken place."
