Physical Description:

Elves of the Empire of Somerset look like your typical elves, tall with a thin build and angular features. Elves tend to be reserved and quiet, shunning contact with others. Their society is tribal, with a monarchy leading the twelve tribes that make up the empire.

History:

The history of the Twelve Tribes of Someshyre, or the Empire of Somerset is shrouded in mystery because the elves have not disclosed much about their past. They have only recently made contact with other races, and then only because they felt that the Kressig were encroaching on the northern edges of their territory. The dispute was settled peacefully, and good relations were established between the two nations.

The same could not be said of the Terran Imperium. Terran incursions on elven space were eradicated after the humans displayed no inclination to limit their expansions in the area. This put the elves on the bad side of the Terran Imperium, and it was battles against a Terran invasion fleet that sparked the First Interstellar War.

The elven nations of Somerset are have a long memory, and they remember almost every past slight done to them. Because of this, the Terran Imperium has cultivated a potent enemy in Somerset.

GM Notes:

The Empire of Somerset is an unfinished race, in that the original author had the idea that the elves would be using biogenetic starships. As of this incarnation of the game rules, the Empire of Somerset was not able to gather the necessary technologies to start the game with biogen starships. This is something a perspective player could work towards.
