Elwynns Konungurs Hirð, also known as the Royal Household and Heritage of the White Orchid Throne, was the Household and Retinue of the King of the Flower of the North. It operated in support and for the glory of the King of the Elwynnese Union as well as the other members of the Royal Family of Elwynn. The Hirð was considered to be among the foremost masters of opulence and extravaganza of the planet.
History
Elwynns Konungurs Hirð was founded in 1624 AN by the decree of the Steward of Elwynn, the Storjarl Hallbjörn Haraldsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja as Elwynns Fyrstes Hirð. When the Elwynnese Kingship was insituted in 1629 by the decree, issued with the consent of the Council of Eliria, of the aforesaid governing Steward of Elwynn, elevating Elwynn from a Principality to a Kingdom, the Hirð received its present name.
Although not official proscribed, it collapsed as an organisation following the wave of expulsions and arrests that came in the wake of the Auspicious Occasion and the Partition of Elwynn in 1651.
