The Elven Army Back Story The Elven Army is governed by Darius, member of the Eternal Council. It is comprised of scouts, warriors, archers, bureaucrats, and military leaders. The core of the warriors are the furies, led by Sallissa. Furies inspire those around them to serve with valor in protecting the elves in their homeland of K'thir. Elite Furies are mounted on condors to serve as important air support for the army. Archers are trained by L'ilim and led by M'alrese. Buraeucrats attempt to stall opponents with buraeucracy. Military leaders position their troops for battle. With so much conflict in the Eternal Circle between De'lim and everyone, the Nefari, although same in race and purpose, are internal enemies. The Elven Army is called upon to protect from enemies, both foreign and domestic. The Elven Army Strategy This strategy is the most common one in pox, dropping and positioning to control the board.
