The Erithians were a race that came from another continent.

Political Structure

The Erithi government system, which was officially set into law some six hundred years ago by the noted scholar Ertaia Selem, was not technically matriarchal -- though many outsiders mistook it for such -- as it was based on age and wisdom rather than bloodlines.

The Erithi have not developed an advanced political structure, having really had no need for one, and the decision-making of the local town councils is the extent of government influence in everyday life. Although there is a central council of representatives from the outlying villages in Eloth-Ra, its control over the region is not strict.

The Erithi tend to be peaceful and not prone to internal conflicts, perhaps because of their lack of enemies other than the creatures of the wilds and the environment, so their political troubles are few, simple, and local. In the year 5028, Maemi Kurieiko, was appointed as the matriarch.
