(OOC: No, I don't know. I just e-mailed him. I hope that everything is well.)
Daoud, clad in his simple herdsman's clothes and a bright prayer shawl, addresses Al'Akbar as Ellistrae and the Mordheil leave Eclavdra's grave.
"This may indeed be a good beginning. Too often, people lack the courage to honestly admit what is the truth. For all their cultural and minor physiological differences, the elves have always been one people. They must acknowledge the past that has existed, but can perhaps move into a new future. Is there not a saying to that effect?"
Al'Akbar, attending the drow in the Hospice of Stars, nods. "Yes. Dethrone the past, and each day brings the dawning of a new world.. Perhaps this is a second dawn for the elves."
Examining a drow patient, Al'Akbar regards the woman's closed eyes. "The drow are still somewhat sensitive to sunlight. Some of the new spectacles with darkened lenses might help them to cope with bright light as they learn to adapt to their new lives."
"Daoud," Al'Akbar says.
"Yes, my Emperor."
"Make sure that the new telescopes that the Greyspace Alliance sent to us are set up in the observatory. Perhaps the drow and others will wish to see the worlds of Greyspace and the stars at the edge of the Wall Around the Worlds."
(OOC: My own research on the topic shows that Greyspace is essentially a Ptolemaic solar system. Oerth is in the center, the other bodies circle it, and the stars are on the edge of Greyspace. Some stars from outside Greyspace, such as the sun of Abeir-Toril, may no longer be visible.)
(OOC: Edena, the drow can have an early version of sunglasses. Until you can do something about it, the drow will still be somewhat light sensitive.)
