Introduction
The elves have long been recorders of history and information. The records of the Cumasti nation predate the settlements of humans in the North and tell of a single grand elven nation. With the encroachment of other races into the Redwoods and the dwindling of the elven culture, the need for an information web into the politics and temperament of their non-elven neighbors is apparent. Centuries ago, the Cumasti nation began to spread out its agents and emissaries to become acquainted with its new neighbors and send news back to Ringlo Hall. Many of these representatives enmeshed themselves with their local neighbors within the Redwoods. As time passed, they became as indigenous as those they lived among. The elven words Gen ri translates as native Veil to the Common tongue.

I commit to the Vow of Seven: LOYALTY Upon acceptance to the Genri, I hereby pledge my loyalty for the remainder of my life. DEDICATION Upon acceptance to the Genri, I hereby pledge all my energies to the Genri. DUTY Upon acceptance to the Genri, I pledge to support the Genri in any way I can. OBLIGATION Upon acceptance to the Genri, I pledge to honor all obligations the Genri demands. HONOR Upon acceptance to the Genri, I pledge to bring only honor to the Genri. BROTHERHOOD Upon acceptance to the Gen Ri, I pledge to be brother/ sister to every member of the Genri. SECRECY Upon acceptance to the Gen Ri, I pledge to keep all rituals, techniques, and aspects of the Genri secret. May the Veil of Dealth conceal my secrets and the Warhammer of Terra judge my spirit worthy.

Base of Operations
The location and existence of the Genri is a matter of rumor and myth. The home base of the Genri remains obscured through centuries of feeding misinformation to the populace. Most residents of the Redwoods, if asked about the Genri will answer with a gentle shake of their head and Its just a fairy tale to mock gullible outsiders. Surely you dont believe such a ridiculous group could really exist?

Allies / Foes
The Cumasti Kingdom maintains strong ties with the Kingdom of Blackmoor and as such, aligns itself more often than not with the allies of King Uther although this is not always the case. Agents of the GenRi are always interested in news regarding the Realm of the Egg. Members are instructed to gather information at all costs regarding this realm, but are warned never to enter its inhospitable lands. To protect the authority of Ringlo Hall in the Redwood, spies are often dispatched against the Northern Redwood Resistance located near the Sweetwater River.
