Being the area where the [[Elwynn (Goddess)|White Orchid Lady]] grew up as well as the place where the [[Konungstekja|investiture]] of the [[King of Elwynn]] takes place, the lands of Araxion are of tremendous historical, religious, cultural and legal value to the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn|people of Elwynn]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> In mythology [[Utas]], the [[Treesia|Treesian]] God of Light, was believed to have brought the young Lady Divine [[Elwynn (Goddess)|Elwynn]] to this area, which since ancient times is considered the traditional source of the sacred [[Elwynn (River)| River Elwynn]]. He also built a [[Tower of Araxion|tall tower]] at the spot of the banks of the aforesaid Great River of Benacia to protect the Lady Elwynn from all kinds of evil forces, including her twin brother Lest. The tower served it purpose well and the Lady Elwynn grew up happily, joyfully and safely, and it is here that the Goddess Elwynn developed Her love of the [[Forest of Elwynn|forest]] of ancient lore.<br /> <br /> There is some belief amongst Antiquarians and Ethnographers that the legends that have grown up around the Tower are a reflection of the role Araxion played in the prehistoric development of the proto-Elw 'Culture Groups'. It was from this ancestral homeland that the [[Elw]], first as hunter-gatherers and then as pastoralists, would eventually expand outwards to dominate the north of Benacia, and in so doing give rise to the myriad tribes and warbands that would cause the early Shirerithian Kaisers such consternation that they were obliged to site their Imperial Captial at [[Shirekeep]] in order to defend and ultimately - at the expense of much blood and treasure - pacify the region.<br /> <br /> ==Demographics==<br /> <br /> The County of Araxion has a total population of 16,671,870 people.<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable collapsible&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | People of Elwynn<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Population Size<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Percentage<br /> |-<br /> | [[Absentians]] || 12,965 || 0.08%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Amokolians]] || 550,536 || 3.30%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Babkhi]] || 2,093,504 || 12.56%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Boreals]] || 12,024 || 0.07%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Cimmerians]] || 12,458 || 0.07%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elfinshi]] || 730,452 || 4.38%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elw]] || 9,102,503 || 54.60%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Farewellish]] || 119,521 || 0.72%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Froyalanish]] || 2,389,023 || 14.33%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Norse]] || 211,231 || 1.27%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Tapferites]] || 202,203 || 1.21% <br /> |-<br /> | Haraldian [[Wintergleamish]] || 77,421 || 0.46%<br /> |-<br /> | Other Elwynnese or Shirerithian || 12,995 || 0.08%<br /> |-<br /> | Resident aliens || 145,034 || 0.87%<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:Araxion]][[category:Elwynn]]</div>

It is situated in the [[Ancient Midlands]] of the [[Lands of the Two Sacred Rivers]]. Being the area where the [[Elwynn (Goddess)|White Orchid Lady]] grew up as well as the place where the [[Konungstekja|investiture]] of the [[King of Elwynn]] takes place, the lands of Araxion are of tremendous historical, religious, cultural and legal value to the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn|people of Elwynn]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> In mythology [[Utas]], the [[Treesia|Treesian]] God of Light, was believed to have brought the young Lady Divine [[Elwynn (Goddess)|Elwynn]] to this area, which since ancient times is considered the traditional source of the sacred [[Elwynn (River)| River Elwynn]]. He also built a [[Tower of Araxion|tall tower]] at the spot of the banks of the aforesaid Great River of Benacia to protect the Lady Elwynn from all kinds of evil forces, including her twin brother Lest. The tower served it purpose well and the Lady Elwynn grew up happily, joyfully and safely, and it is here that the Goddess Elwynn developed Her love of the [[Forest of Elwynn|forest]] of ancient lore.<br /> <br /> There is some belief amongst Antiquarians and Ethnographers that the legends that have grown up around the Tower are a reflection of the role Araxion played in the development of the proto-Elw 'Culture Groups'. It was from this ancestral homeland that the [[Elw]], first as hunter-gatherers and then as pastoralists, would eventually expand outwards to dominate the north of Benacia, and in so doing give rise to the myriad tribes and warbands that would cause the early Shirerithian Kaisers such consternation that they were obliged to site their Imperial Captial at [[Shirekeep]] in order to defend and ultimately - at the expense of much blood and treasure - pacify the region.<br /> <br /> ==Demographics==<br /> <br /> The County of Araxion has a total population of 16,671,870 people.<br /> <br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable collapsible&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | People of Elwynn<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Population Size<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | Percentage<br /> |-<br /> | [[Absentians]] || 12,965 || 0.08%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Amokolians]] || 550,536 || 3.30%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Babkhi]] || 2,093,504 || 12.56%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Boreals]] || 12,024 || 0.07%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Cimmerians]] || 12,458 || 0.07%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elfinshi]] || 730,452 || 4.38%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Elw]] || 9,102,503 || 54.60%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Farewellish]] || 119,521 || 0.72%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Froyalanish]] || 2,389,023 || 14.33%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Norse]] || 211,231 || 1.27%<br /> |-<br /> | [[Tapferites]] || 202,203 || 1.21% <br /> |-<br /> | Haraldian [[Wintergleamish]] || 77,421 || 0.46%<br /> |-<br /> | Other Elwynnese or Shirerithian || 12,995 || 0.08%<br /> |-<br /> | Resident aliens || 145,034 || 0.87%<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:Araxion]][[category:Elwynn]]</div>
