mmm, I need another roleplaying post for this to make sense, but I can already state that the troops of Cormyr and the Dalelands will remain to defend their homelands, while all my dragon troops will come to Earth and defend britain and germany, as well as many paladins from the churches of Torm and Tyr. I'd send also clerics of Ilmater but I need to know if Earth is still under the grip of the Red Death.

Earth is still plagued by the Red Death.
And Forsaken One, is feeding the Red Death with vast amounts of human suffering, pain, and death ... the Red Death is getting stronger.

And so, the metallic and gem dragons of Toril clash with the undead dragons and dracoliches over the skies of Britain and Germany, while Mina and her legions battle from the ground.
However, as per his post, Forsaken One's dracoliches and undead dragons now leave Earth, having accomplished their mission.
They leave behind London and Berlin in burned ruins, hundreds of thousands dead or wounded, and millions displaced from their homes and starving in hastily improvised shelters.
In Peluria, the Domain of the Ice Queen, the Ice Queen smiles ...
Mina states she and her Knights will protect the British and the Germans.
Mina states that she has sufficient troops to do so.
In other words, Lichtenhart, Mina is asking not so subtly that your forces depart.
You can choose to defy her and stay, or you can leave.
Nobody else has yet responded to the crisis on Earth ...

I've named my faction the Underground Alliance.
"Sir Raynar, Russia, our new allies from Earth, are under siege by dragons from Toril! They are requesting our help!"
"Send in help, as much as we can miss, but still keep our defenses here up and running. Our strenght is in power, not in numbers. Send in the troops.

Some of Russia's best engineers are brought to Toril, and have started working on a steam engine. Also expiriments with gunpowder are being done. As people on Earth have much more ways to treat the Plague, Dwarves, Halfling and Russia's scientists will start working on a cure that will affect everyone.
Also new books are being writen by Russians, with information about their research on all kinds of subjects. Mathematics, Engineering, Warfare, Chemistry, Physics, Sanitation. Raynar himself spreads books throughout Russia about the Dwarven Art of Masonry.
A letter is sent to all leaders.
Greetings noble leaders, presidents and other betitleds,
I am Raynar Smartface, leader of Dwarves and Halflings in the world of Toril. We have allied with the Humans on Earth, the Russians. This is a warning to those who have attacked them, to stop their siege on Russia immediatly.
Also, we are searching for a possible cure against the Plague, and we are making progress. If other countries want to aid us in our search, the Underground Alliance will offer an alliance to those.
Sincerely,
Lord Raynar Smartface
Also, Russia is asked if helping other countries on Earth is acceptable, as they can aid both Russia and the Undergroud Alliance with research, technical progress and warfare.

Misha calls upon the Dauntless members to aid the Earth after this unwarranted assault, and immediately presses for sanctions and embargoes against Forsaken One's power, and they will publicly speak against the actions on Earth.
Aid in the form of supplies, clerics, and support goes to those nations that have suffered, meanwhile, Misha will cotninue to maintain his own regions and interests in the United States... but a massive relief effort is underway for the nations that were attacked...

POSTED BY FORSAKEN ONE
bloodthirsty cruel amoral creatures
That's the way uhuh uhuh I like it
FROM EDENA
You do realize that every nation on Earth is declaring war on your power, don't you?
And your enemies on Toril may take advantage of this?
Better get some allies quick, Forsaken One!!
- - -
VENUS
With the caves more fortified than ever, the Dwarves hide before the plague.
FROM EDENA - IMPORTANT
The chickenpox is 50% lethal on Toril, but only a small part of the populace has caught it so far.
As a result, only (ONLY!) about 1% of the Torillian population has died.
And the Silver Cabal is now mass producing vaccines against chickenpox.
Unfortunately, more plagues from Earth are now appearing on Toril.
The Black Death. Typhoid. Cholera. Typhus. Your clerics are going to be busy.
Again, the Silver Cabal is helping, teaching the science of making vaccines.
The Silver Cabal does not help you, Forsaken One, for reasons that are obvious.
The Silver Cabal, states that those powers of Toril who refuse to help Earth, or ally with Forsaken One, will get no help from them.
VENUS
Russians? Hmmm. Very well. Let them know we are interested in allying with them.
FROM EDENA
As previously stated, Russia is begging for your help now, Venus.
If you help them, they will become a power under your control.

FESTY DOG
We'll need them to research the long term effects of such heavy enchantments. If need be though get some elites together and kidnap a few dominated people from a region who uses those methods. Maybe multiple different regions to analyse the effects of different commands. That sound possible?
FROM EDENA
The long-term effects of the Domination Books?
The research is ongoing ... (chuckles evilly ... you didn't think such powerful magic was without side effects, did you??)
FESTY DOG
Over coming weeks while waiting for the return of test subjects Seamus and his colleagues research a hypothesis. He makes an emphasis also to recruit researchers from the ranks of the churches, celestials, fey and others allied to him, making best use of the broad range of experience these people may have.
[ooc: If halving the amount of armies produced doesn't bring any benefits to my research then I won't worry and use all the armies at my disposal.
FROM EDENA
You can do the research and use all your Armies, Festy Dog.
The preliminary research indicates the Domination books cause permanent changes in personality, Festy Dog.

Inez Hull
With the threat of the Red Death negated and the gates between the worlds remaining open, Orinil begins to expand his intelligence and investigations into Earth, Krynn, Oerth and Athas. Since magic seems set to stay, it will be used to assist the agents sent out to help them blend in and discover the true lay of these worlds politics rather than the official line of those in power. Piles of books, journals and newspapers are brought back and teams are employed day and night to speed in their translation and digestion. As expected, all is not as it seems. As in the realms, in most places in these other worlds power is weilded by minorities whilst the large proportion of these worlds populations live without access to wealth, land, technology or magic.
FROM EDENA
A British man calling himself Sherlock Holmes offers to be your eyes and ears on Earth and elsewhere, Inez.
Do you accept?
By the way, your book causes chaos in parts of Serpenteye's territories in Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan.
This is good.
What is not so good for you, is that Serpenteye's agents find out that your power is the cause of the chaos.

TIMOTHY
(wants to ally with the Meritocracy)
Hmmm ... this communication is intercepted by Inez and his spies, and gets into the wrong hands.
Soon, it falls into the hands of certain individuals in the Icewind Compact, the Dauntless, and the Free Nations ...

TOKIWONG
Further, we would like to have permission for excavations in the desert you call Anauroch. This is purely a cultural matter.
FROM EDENA
You do NOT want to excavate under Anauroch!!!
The PHAERIMM live under Anauroch!!!
If Melkor does not declare the phaerimm do something about said excavations, I WILL.

Honored Leader of the Dauntless,
I come seeking advice on what shall be done about the City of Shade, they say that my forces should stand down, but I believe that they are simply trying to buy time.
I am in contact with their leader Janos Audron, and his words were as I expected, for your perusal a copy of this letter has been attached as well. My past dealings with the shade have not been pleasant
and perhaps before committing to a more serious course of action, I ask for the wisdom of the members of the Dauntless.
FROM EDENA
I would like to note that a HUGE elven army, tens of thousands strong, is now occupying all of Anauroch around the Shade Empire, and in the mountains on both sides of Anauroch.
Here are the elite corps of elves from Evermeet, the unicorn riders, the aerial corps, the elves with their plate armor that seems to magically move with them and is effectively weightless ...
No, it's not provocation. It's just elves on a sight-seeing tour ...
I repeat myself - the United States of America is screaming for help.
There is widespread famine now in America, as her peoples have fled the cities. Disease is rampant, and law and order have broken down in many places.
America is desperate for help.
Who will help them?
The American Indians do not want Neverwinter Forest.
The American Indians want America back. It was taken from them by war, and they want their lands back.
They give a long list of HORRIFIC atrocities (spells reveal they are telling the truth) committed against them by the other peoples of America.
They state they only want back what was rightfully theirs.
(Of course, right now the Indians have taken cover from Forsaken One's assault also, so this issue can wait.)

SERPENTEYE
The high tech companies we've bought troughout the western world will continue working and investing on Earth but will increasingly start to transfer production to Amn, Tethyr and Calimshan.
Meanwhile we continue to educate (farming, tech, magics, psionics, fighting) and indoctrinate our people with magical books.
FROM EDENA
Forsaken One just ruined your racket, Serpenteye, with his assault on Earth.
And Inez, just made things worse, by formenting rebellion in Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan.
Your project, at least for the moment, has to be put on hold.
SERPENTEYE
Later in his study Alarah writes a reply to the Zakharan letter.
"I greet you in friendship, noble Grand Caliph Muad Dha Bin. I see the many tales I've heard of your wisdom are only exceeded by the truth. The Supreme Council has decided to accept your most fortuitous offer of alliance and it is my personal hope that our alliance shall prosper trough both peace and war.
FROM EDENA
Serpenteye, may I point out that Zakhara is allied with the Dragon Kings of Athas? With the Defilers?
The Dragon Kings use magic that destroys water, in massive amounts. MASSIVE amounts. And it kills all vegetation, and it even kills people.
Defiling magic ruins the land, while doubling the advancement rate of the mage in question.
You are allying with these? When they came to destroy Toril? When they destroyed the native humanoids and most of the demihumans of Athas?
Of course, Inez and his spies, and the Veiled Alliance, makes SURE that every other Power on Toril knows the history and methods of the Dragon Kings, and that your alliance with Zakhara has been made!

BUGBEAR
The land of Icewind sends it's greetings to you.
You mention your one, true God, this Idea Intrigues me, as I am a Theologian. I am Curious about your one true god and wish to learn more.
Once again, I send our deepest appologies for the suffering of your world brought about by the Red Death being unleashed upon the Multiverse. Whatever aid Icewind can give is yours in combating the smallpox. I shall ask the Silver Cabal to send teachers to Krynn, if this is your will. I ask that you, Mina, and the dauntless work as one to see that the Red Death is destroyed.
Sincerly, Hannover Fist
FROM EDENA
The emissaries of Mina accept your offer, Bugbear.
They want peace and alliance with the Icewind Compact.
They state that together, along with the Dauntless and other Powers of Toril, that the Red Death can be eradicated.
BUGBEAR
The Lands of the Icewind Compact wish to give their condolances to the peoples of Oreth, and to once again appologise for the Disaster that our world has unwittingly inflicted upon yours.
Whatever aid we can give to slow the spread of the Smallpox in your lands will be given. Do not give up hope, though the day fades into night, the dawn allways comes.
FROM EDENA
Ivid the Undying sends the following:
Fools and meddlers.
You have inflicted massive suffering on our people.
You have opened gates and allowed horrors from beyond to enter our world.
You have meddled with magic indiscriminately and irresponsibly.
It is time you faced the responsibility for your actions, People of Toril.
You will accept the Overlordship of Rauxes.
Those who do so, will have their weapons and magic confiscated, and become lawful citizens of our Nation.
Those who will NOT do so, will be treated as the heretics and foes that you are, and YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?
You have proven your idiocy even further by consorting with the one you call Mina.
Do you not know who she is? She follows a great evil, as terrible as the Red Death which you have unleashed amongst all of us.
You allow her free passage through your lands. You allow her to spy out all your secrets.
You make it possible for her to conquer your world, and OURS, by so doing.
You will lay down your Arms, and you will submit to Rauxes.
If you do not, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED.
(Ivid is banging his fist on his throne.)
THESE TERMS ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.
