Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cevalic" data-source="post: 1658" data-attributes="member: 171">Current State of Draligar ForestThe Klenikupt (sylvan for collected clans)This group of centaurs is actually five different tribes that have found a common cause in the Draligar forest: survival. They rule an area of 400 square miles, bordered on the south by the goblins, the dragon on the west, and some sort of ruins where the foulest of creatures lair to the north. The east holds only the elves, of which the centaurs have no love for.The tribes each came to Draligar in a span of fifty years (starting 150 years ago). They entered through the eastern part of the forest, where they were immediately surrounded by elven warriors. The elves stated that they could either pay them or work as servants if they wished to stay in the forest. The centaurs pride would never allow it, and the remarks instantly enraged them. In an act that took the elves completely off guard, the centaurs attacked. Three elves ran for help, while the rest were slaughtered. The centaurs hadn't lost one of their kind. They began to follow the elves, when a gnome appeared from behind a tree. He told them of the elves and the plight of the gnomes. He also told them of where the elves borders ended, and how they could enter the forest without having to deal with the elves. The centaur leader thanked the gnome and followed his advice. He also sent a messenger back to the east to tell any interested clans that he had found an interesting place to live.The centaurs set up their homes and settled in for the long hall. The other clans eventually arrived, and at the first gathering of chiefs, they met their other neighbor. While the five chiefs spoke in a tent, the dragon appeared overhead, and let loose it acidic breath. None of the chiefs lived. The dragon then flew away, only wanting to send a message to the centaurs that it was not to be messed with. The centaurs took this in a different light, and declared a war against the beast. This act united the clans. The arrival of the goblins actually made the centaurs happy. They missed a good fight, and think of the goblins as training for the day when they must attack the dragon.The centaurs are now past the point of being happy with the goblins. They know that the goblins now outnumber them, but have no fear of the little creatures. Someday an all out war will probably happen, and with recent battles between the two races increasing, it seems on taking place soon.The centaurs have come up with a plan to deal with the dragon. A young centaur exploring the ruins to the north came across a sword of dragon slaying. They plan to give this to a warrior who proves himself as a match for the dragon.The centaurs have not forgotten about the elves. The are itching for the chance to hand the elves another thrashing, but once again they know they are hopelessly outnumbered. They believe that they could take out the majority of the elven nation before the last centaur fell, and they just might be right. They wish to repay the gnomes who stopped them from walking into a slaughter, and want to see the gnomes free.They have no knowledge of the dark elves, and don't know what exactly is contained in the ruins to their north...</blockquote>
