Kaboom:
Yes, I think you can bring all of the nations of the Chosen of Mystra to the Domain of hope, at least the living creatures and the people.
Hazen thanks Iuz for his kind words, and adds.
"All are welcome here. There will be no attempts to force beliefs on anyone."
Edena: I have moved all factions I control, including Dagger's, to the Domain of Hope. I have e-mailed Gnomeworks. He may be having internet problems again. If so, I would like to temporarily play his power and bring them all to the Domain of Hope.
All powers played by myself, formely played by Darkness, and played by dagger are in the Domain of Hope. I would like to make that the case for Gnomeworks factions as well.
There is always room for people in the Domain of Hope.
Anabstercorian: What was your character's reaction to the Illithid book Hazen gave him, "The Best Loved Jokes, Songs and Stories of the Illithid People" (I forget the term from Bruce Cordell's Illithiad. I remember it as a series of strings with knots. Oddly enough, the Incas used something like this for messages.)
And now a post for your role playing entertainment. Feel free to become part of each scene as you chose. Consider it part of the lull before the storm. There are a few hidden references which I will reveal later.

At a large hall, many people are seated before a stage. A woman comes to the stage and speaks into a microphone.
"Welcome to the Mitrik Auction for the Emergency Relief Fund. We are auctioning several valuable items to help fund emergency relief efforts."
"Here are some of them."
"A rare 1st edition print of Turhan Bey ben Seir's "In Deep Places: A Journey into the Underdark."
"A silver and gold chess set on an ebony and ivory board. Accompanying it is a three dimensional board with a platinum and electrum chess set."
"A rare lyre from an unknown culture. It is extremely old."
"An ivory statue of a woman with her arms raised in triumph."
"A painting of an unknown soldier battling foes. Age undetermined."
"Bidding will begin shortly."

A small girl, perhaps five years old, is wandering on a street. She is brown haired with brown eyes. She is calling out "Mommy!" but her pleas are unanswered.

A boy, of the same age, but with pale blond hair and blue eyes is trying to climb a tree to get a grey cat with a white spot on his chest. He can't reach the branches.
The cat is meowing and the child appears frustrated.

A young elven boy is practicing with a plastic sword in a park. He mutters wistfully, "I wish someone would teach more how to handle a sword the right way."
