(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Kalanyr]

Arkanyl's message/sending/speech whatever to Queen Amlaruil, runs as follows

"My Queen, I respect your decision but there have always been non-elves on Evermeet, from Faerie to Unicorns, the gnomes have a strong relationship to elves in many ways perhaps even as close as the Faerie and the Unicorns have indeed the Seldarine and Garl have long stood together. Why should this be changed now ? Because some gnomes are corrupt it doesn't mean all of them are. These gnomes could help us greatly against the tyrants who have taken over Lantan. "

FROM BUGBEAR

How many gnomes are we talking about here, Edena?

FROM EDENA

Over five thousand.

Well then I guess inviting them to stay at my place is out of the question

Perhaps we could set up a sanctuary (A home for wayward Gnomes) in chult or maztica...

 

[Mr. Draco]

With the new information about the gnomish books, my books will be included with a domination effect. Whomever reads them will be dominated so that they believe that they must make their own choices. The domination effect serves to ensure that they will follow what they chose to do and superceeds (hopefully) any other domination effects already in place.

(OOC: I'm going to be getting offline really soon, try not to invent nuclear weapons overnight )

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ.

I ask those who are now in control of nations or peoples not to act yet in any military way.
We are still in the writing phase of the IR (and we will be for the next several days, too.)

Make plans, make alliances, discuss matters, and pen books, but do not start wars.

(I am ruling that no power is yet ready to launch a war. Where someone controls a power, that power is still in the process of organizing itself together. So do not try it, folks.)

TO KALANYR

Nice argument, Kalanyr, but Queen Amlaruil is adamant.
She writes back:

I cannot jeapardize the security of the elves.
I simply cannot do that.
I would gladly take in the gnomes, and give them aid and comfort - I am no monster, and I understand their plight.
However, I have been entrusted with the responsibility for protecting the last refuge of the elves - Evermeet - and I MUST live up to that responsibility.
I apologize. I am genuinely sorry. But I cannot permit the gnomish refugees to come to Evermeet.

Letter to Queen Amlauril...

Dearest lady, of the Esteemed Court of Evermeet, she who makes the Moon weep at the sight of her beauty, she who gives guidance to Tel'quessir, the ageless majesty, I write this letter to speak my piece on the matter at hand...

I, the Defender of the Dauntless, recognize the dilemma you face in these trying days regarding these gnomes, and their seeking of amnesty. The ears of the court, listen upon the intrigues that abound in the streets of Faerun, and the boiling mess that has appeared in the lands, will drag all of Faerun into its twisted web. But we now stand on the precipice to make a change for the better, to perhaps make a statement that the Dauntless stands against what the gnomes of Lantan have done, but also that perhaps we wish to build a better future and show that we are willing to allow those who recognize the wickedness of their ways to atone, and start anew.

Milady, the choice to allow thse gnomes is one of great fortune for us, we can teach them to combine their natural predilection for technology with a respect for the moral authority of the natural world. Temper their will to create with the need for recognizing that some creations just should not be, and educate them in... This world, all peoples cannot exist in a vacuum, the world is growing smaller by the day, and we must grasp the fact that all peoples will depend on each other to survive this crucible. It will be a time of tests, but I beleive we of the Dauntless can construct a better future based upon the pitfalls of the past.

We must learn, and we must unite, this threat is affecting all peoples, these gnomes they wish to make a difference, and perhaps have knowledge we can exploit to bring this crisis to an end. We should not turn against them, we should accept them, and watch them, for is it now an old saying that one should not only keep their friends close, but their enemies closer? Look beyond the racial boundaries my Queen, and seek out the worth of the individual, together as a united peoples can we break the stranglehold that the gnomes of Lantan have started.

Your loyal servant, and Defender

- Misha Koldun

"Most Gracious Queen, may I add that the sacrifice we ask from you won't last long as arrangements to the construction of a new home for these gnome are being taken as I write this."

An Urgent Leader

To Her Royal Majesty, , Queen Amlaruil of Evermeet, Leader and Defender of all Elven Peoples.

Your majesty, I am honored to address you in this most urgent letter. Now is the time when all folk of good will should stand together against the threats to our world.

The gnomish refugees from Lantan, wisely and courageously, rejecting the evil of their leaders stand in need of refuge. It will take great magic to overcome the harm that was done by the Lantanese leadership. The reputation of the elves of Evermeet in magical knowledge are second to none, famous throughout all of Toril and beyond.

The magical skill of your people, combined with the knowledge of the gnomish refugees, may provide the means to remove the enchantments clouding the minds of many. Where but Evermeet are the world's foremost experts on enchantment magic? Who but Evermeet can combine this knowledge with the valor of matchless warriors and wizards?

Your majesty, I implore you to take in the gnomish refugees. Your people's knowledge, compassion, wisdom and courage is needed now more than ever. We stand on the edge of an abyss. I ask that you become the protectors of those who have opposed the tyrants among their own people.

I have faith in the courage and the wisdom of the elven peoples. I ask that you and the Faerie protect the gnomes. I will endeavor to work with others to find a lasting home for the gnomish refugees. It is my hope that one they that they shall return to Lantan, when the oppresive leadership of that isle is overthrown. I swear to devote my life, my fortune, sacred honor, and immortal call to the defense of all who desire freedom and liberty.

May Evermeet be blessed forever,

Most humbly yours,

Ardan Turval

Mirriam frowns as she notes the success of Gustaf.

"He is a very keen tactical mind, but he has only benefitted from less than a century of tactics...the true powers however in this war, the Devils, have had millenia upon millenia of fighting...Let us see how he fares against that!" She gives a haughty laugh, her hands shaking and black circles forming around her eyes as she goes on another night without rest-penning her new book.


Flame and Pyre: the Guidelines of the True Faith

-This book categorizes and teaches the Dark Crusaders that read it the tactics that the devils use, educating to them the order and organization of the devils as well as the military tactics and strength developed and use throughout the countless aeons of battling they have gone through.

This insidious knowledge is applied to the Dark Crusaders to boost their chances of war and conquest.

TO CREAMSTEAK

The dwarves state they are considering your offer (the offer of Imaskari) Creamsteak.
They have not accepted, nor rejected, your offer yet.

TO EVERYONE

About five thousand increasingly frustrated and upset gnomes continue to beg for a home among the Dauntless.
