Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cevalic" data-source="post: 1653" data-attributes="member: 171">Current State of Draligar ForestThe Halisthian ElvesThe elves are still ruled by Prince Thelis'thinar (Aristocrat 3, NE). Recently a robed figure has been spotted advising the prince when he walks through the forest. No one has caught a glimpse at what lies beneath the grey robes, but the rumors are flying. Recently the figure silently argued with the prince over releasing trespassers in the elven land. It is rumored that the Thelis had no choice in the matter and let the group go, although he bears a deep resentment towards the people he was going to execute. Some have suggested that the figure is the king returned, but that was quickly ruled out since the king would take back the crown, and the queen would have come out of her three and a half century morning period.Prince Thelis'thinar is rumored to be looking for a magical artifact, called the Youthful Sword. It is supposed to grant the wearer immeasurable strength, plus giving the wielder immortality.The elves themselves have created an order of rangers to do battle with the growing goblin tribes in the central zone. Called Whispers by most of the other elves, these warriors wage a silent war against the goblins. They have accomplished much with their guerilla warfare tactics, as the goblins haven't been able to build any other cities due to 'accidents' that occur during the night.The Halisthian as a whole are quite satisfied with their lot in lives. Like normal elves they look down at lesser races, especially gnomes who are nothing but slaves to them. They have three main cities, although none have more than 4000 elves in them.The Ten, the greatest elven warriors in the realm, where recently sent to the ruins of Numeth'ador, to investigate the appearance of a death knight. They found the former dwarven keep transformed into a nightmarish castle with giant skeletons perched on the towers, while nightmares circled high above the highest tower. They communicated this telepathically back to the elven wizards. Before they could receive an answer of what they should do, they were attacked by a death knight that rode upon a skeletal dragon. None survived the death knights charge. The wizards realized what happened and told the prince. They've kept the information quiet, and have told inquiring minds that the 10 are in the west doing a secret mission in the dragon's land. They know that sooner or later, they will have to deal with the threat, and address the nation. They are currently bickering on what course of action to take.The capital city, Aran'ashoth, is actually built on the ruins of one of the dwarven mines. The elves haven't found out about the caverns below them. The city actually only holds 500 elves (the majority are guards and warriors). The council of wizards has it's own building, which is in the shape of an enormous tree. It is magically linked to the palace of trees where Thelis lives.The elves know that in order to secure their future as rulers of the whole forest they will have to force out the goblins the dragon, but they currently take their time, waiting for their prince to plan the next move. Very few look forward to the war that will have to take place.</blockquote>
