[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 159818, member: 426"] Tokiwong: The person that Thayadon Fasfoni (kaboom's character) called a worshipper of Melkor was the representative from Calimshan, not the Eternal Empire. Hazen and Gwilym Raonul arrive at the peace conference. Four people are with them. One is a halfling in academic garb, one is an orc, one is a human dressed in the clothes of a gardener, and the fourth is an elven woman. Gwilym Raonul gestures to the press. "I would like to introduce some friends from Toril who have asked to be guests of the Kevellond League at this conference.
