Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 4002534" data-attributes="member: 2020">Sembia is getting exactly what it deserves.  While the Lord's Alliance, the Elven Alliance, the Dalelands Alliance, and Zhentil Keep made confederations, Sembia stood alone.  Wealthy, in a prime location, plenty of seaports, and large regions of fertile cropland, it was a prime target.  The *only* reason Sembia survived this long is no one power dared attack it, because all the other powers would have ganged up to protect it.  With the Spellstorm, that no longer applies.  Enter the Shade/Netherese, and now Sembia's produce, wealth, and ports belong to them (Sembian merchants will now learn the true meaning of *taxes*, if I know the Netherese.)  I'm guessing Westgate, if it survived, is in collusion with the aggressionist, expanionist Cormyr (the only way to be, in a hostile world.  Go, Cormyr!)  I'm guessing that those holier-than-thou elves of Evereska FINALLY decided they just had to cooperate with humans, to fully embrace humans.  The first lesson was learned against the phaerimm.  Now they have Netheril, and Netheril has OLD Netheril's power, as a neighbor ... and of course Zhentil Keep and it's subjugated cities, and orc hordes, and dragons, and the drow (nothing will ever stop the drow, much less stop their War of Vengeance ... and Eilistraee is no longer in the way.)  Myth Drannor is back (why didn't the Srinshee take over?  Talk about refusing to live up to your responsibilities!!)  So Myth Drannor, Evereska, Cormyr, and the Lord's Alliance, are in a detente against Netheril.  (Hint:  It won't work:  it took the entire ancient combined might of 4 elven nations with full High Magic to hold Netheril in check.  The Shade are coming.  When they arrive, better get out of the way!)  Now, where is the Aboleth Empire?  Where Luskan was?  In the Sea of Fallen Stars?  Where the Vast Dale was?  Hmmm ...  And what have the Mind Flayers been doing, with all that psionic might, while their magical opponents have been going insane from the Spellstorm?  They've not been sitting doing nothing!  There should be a great Illithid Empire down there somewhere, with designs on the surface world that make the drow look like nice guys and girls in comparison.</blockquote>
