One of the many short-lived polities to rise and fall in the Sword Worlds following the passage of the Wave.
Goals
The Narsil Union's goals are not recorded in outside archives, but were likely similar to most other states of the pastoral age: stay civilized and united against the darkness.
History & Background
To the extent that the records of Mora can be trusted during this era, they report that contact with Narsil Union traders began around 1490 Imperial, while the last ship to claim the Narsil Union flag was seen jumping away from Strouden in 1679 Imperial.
Government & Politics
By most accounts, the Narsil Union kept to itself politically, using only trade ships to interface with its neighbors. Even other Sword Worlds accounts from that period remark on their isolation, as they suffered few visitors. While Moran accounts differ on this point, Sword Worlder records also indicate that Narsil Union ships were less likely to engage in acts of brazen piracy than their brethren expected.
Economy
As a member of the cultural Sword Worlds, the Narsil Union would have traded with other Sword Worlds, as well as the remnants of the Darrians, Mora, and the Strong Worlds around Regina. Relationships with any or all of these would have constantly changed, as nothing was stable for long either internally or externally. Narsil during this period would have had the technological base to maintain starships, and was probably TL10, though records are inconclusive.
Military & Intelligence
Unknown, as naval records during this period were often House or Clan secrets, and closely held.
Worlds & Sectors
There is no evidence to date to suggest that the Narsil Union controlled more than Narsil itself, though it probably controlled much of the Sacnoth Arm by default.
