They tracked down the lair of the Yuan-Ti that kidnapped the elven prince betrothed to the daughter of their leige.The yuan-ti lair was in the cliffside over a giant lizardfolk city; the yuan-ti controlled the city by means of a swarm-dragon that they controlled. The party discovered that the yuan-ti were also blackmailing a copper dragon into doing their bidding by holding his daughter captive. The party stole into the yuan-ti lair and released the young copper dragon and the slaves the yuan-ti captured, but the elven prince was not there; only humans are useful to the yuan-ti's experiments and the elven prince was traded off.In the party's retreat, the adult copper dragon grappled with the dragon swarm and lost. The very young copper dragon became the fighter's dragon cohort.For next session, the party is bound for Dragonwatch Harbor, a small tradeport on the river of worlds, in search of the elven prince that the yuan-ti sold off here. Dragonwatch harbor is a city controlled by Dragon Mages, spellcasters who have uncovered the secrets of dragon magic.The city is tense, and there are mercenaries from the faceless legion all around; the legion has been hired to protect the city, as the city fears they will be next in a rash of raids by the forces of chaos.While in the city, the party will learn of the Planar Trade Combine and meet a raveller wind elf, the first wind elf the party has met other than their own wind elf druid. The NPC seer will reunite with his people, and that should set the groundwork for a future villain, a renegede Talaire Shaper whose hatred of Mind Flayers has led him to ally with the forces of chaos.If the party follows all the breadcrumbs, they should discover that the elven prince they seek was sold off to an elemental elf in the long secluded home planes of the elemental elves. There, the party should discover the sinister experiment in progress.~~~~BACKSTORY MOMENT~~~~In ancient times, the elves (or rather, their forebears) were like gods. The so called Bright Ones (LeShay, one of the Div) transgressed against the gods and were punished. Their very essence was fragmented by the gods themselves. Now all the races of elves that remain behind are fragmented remnants of this once great race.However, the elemental elves (from Bow & Blade) found rituals that, by investing them with a bit of essence from their goddess, helped them to recover a sliver of their former power, giving them the elemental powers that characterize their race. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But something happened. The dark elves discovered the efforts of the elemental elves. And one of them set a grand plan in motion, taking control of the elemental elf enclaves, and performing experiments that would reshape the ritual that the elemental elves performed to shape their race to reshape elves on entire planes into Drow Elves, in a move that the dark elf faction hopes will both bolster their faction and deal a blow to surface elves.When the party uncovers the gate to the enclaves, they will find that the elven prince they seek has been transformed into a dark elf, and the dark elf villain is the one resposible for orphaning the party's wind elf druid, and hundreds of other such wanderers that are known throughout the planes. It is up to them to unravel this plot.</blockquote>
