Obsidian Tower
About
The Obsidian Tower is a player-run organization based around the Dhe'nar culture of dark elves. As a member of the Cooperative Houses of Elanthia, its members have contributed to the creation of lore for the Dhe'nar and Khanshael cultures, some of which has been adopted and officially made canon. The Obsidian Tower itself is located in the Upper Trollfang outside of Wehnimer's Landing.
Current Officers
Leadership within the Obsidian Tower takes on two forms. The primary Officers are referred to as the Obsidian Council, which consists of five Dhe'nar and one Khanshael advisor. The Highlord leads the Obsidian Council and the entire Tower. The other four Dhe'nar Council members each represent the four traditional castes: Temple, Warlock, Warrior, and Worker. The Armsmaster represents the Khanshael of the Tower.
In addition to the Obsidian Council, two additional support Officers may be represented from among the general membership.
