An emissary from the Wolf God arrives at Al'Akbar's palace: a beautiful woman in her 30's, unremarkable save that her hands appear set backwards on the wrists. She requests an audience with the demigod whenever it is convenient for him.

OOC: Echem, You are mistaken Edena, or my writing is shoddier that I thought. Wich, raised among drow, plaything will bow to a male deeper than to "woman in charge" ?
IC:
*First Maid, bows her head in thanks for courtesy and goodwill of elven Lady ... then she silently bows again to elf Lord. This time with proper respect to both rulers. And she spoke quietly, humbly and as if submitting wholly to the wills of the ruling Couple.*
I thank You for the liquid Your Majesty, it's very tasty.
Edena_of_Neith said:
*She closes her eyes for the moment, seemingly trying to choose right words to not insult Their Royalties. And she spoke with her usual, gentle and pleasing tone. Light smile on her face brightened the air. Only her half closed eyes betray that she isn't as comfortable as she would like to ... what in obvius truths spoken by Lord and Lady was so alien to her ?*
My Master didn't rejected their gifts, nor their emissary Eiryne Victoria. He will learn from them and find his own way, as alvays. He know that someone is already serving devils and their power in this world is growing. And as for seeing downfall ... my Master is sure that everybody are wishing his downfall. He would, being someone else, wishing downfall of such power. Motives mean nothing be it greed, fear of envy. Result is still the same.
And I could say that forests of Aliador resemble beautiful dream ... Drow live in their own ... dream. But I know from experience that all dreams end someday, or change into nightmares. Such time come for Drow ... and only drow seeing it, my previous mistress, Velsharess and Supreme Matron Mother Eclavdra of Eclavdor is working toward the only goal that she sees desireable. Surviwal of their race at all cost.
Change is coming toward fair folk of Aliador, and personal wishes mean nothing here. Als alvays, they mean ... nothing.
Edena_of_Neith said:
*For a moment mask of calmness that were written over First Maid broke, and displayed moment of resigned sadness, before she regained her grip over herself.*
My Master knows it already, he listen to my prayers ... as alvays with prayers of His faithful. And if You think that rejecting something, mean denying it's existence ... Aliador will be doomed. I thank You whole heartedly for hospitality ... and will go to the place wher I have to stay, more important emissaries than me are surely awaiting.
*She bowed again, this time deeply, with forehead touhing the ground before the Lord and the Lady, before standing up and waiting for their response with eyes lloking humbly on the ground.*
Gates of Aliador
*Demons behave absolutely neutrally towards Aliador elves, and ignored most other emissaries. Except evil grins and hisses of hatred toward any devil passing by, along with vulgar gestures toward devil females. Or whistles of applaud toward foreign succubi. And of course they waved toward passing by drow, exchanging heartily comments of their miserable mortal frames, and how it happened that drow are licking shoes of Faerie Elves ? Nothing more than friendly breezing. Every sign of upset or wounded feeling only provoked laughter from demons, and more comments including shameful detail from childhood of drow wictim. Aliador elves are as dumb as from beggining, because demons speak to Drow in language of Dark Elves. At one moment their recived telepatic sending from First Maid and stopped all activites. Smiled broadly to themselves, make faces toward the elven guards, the most daring evne turned back on them, raised his scaled kilt and farted loudly. Laughing of this poor joke, Demons departed singing drunken song in their foul tongue, describing charms of sccubus Jerleirei.*
William Ronald said:
*Demon listened carefully to everything that Al'Akbar spoke. With every word about peace, his eyebrows were raising a little until he was gazing on Demigod as if second head has grown on Al'Akbar's shoulders. But he spoke nothing, and after getting grip over himself bowed deeply, and thanked in the name of God-Tzar, while gazing greedily at jugs of wine.*
I thank You, Your Highness for warm welcome and time devoted for Empire's delegation. We will depart to embassy now, if You allow. And I'm sure that Lord of Demons will respond. He alvays responds.
*They bow again and depart inmediately after Al'Akbar dismisses them. Upon arriving at embassy Ripp grunts. While shadow enveloped it, falling from small storm cloud, the size of embassy.*
Okay, boys ... time to customize this place for expectations of Our Lord and Master and his ambassador.

I have sent Thomas' Turn 1 Template to you via e-mail (I sent it 3 times.)
I was informed some of it might be illegible due to an e-mail problem. If this is the case, please tell me, and I will redo it and resend it.
If there are any mistakes in the Template, tell me at once, I will correct the mistakes, and resend the Template ASAP.
And no, folks, you don't get to read Thomas' Template.
The Turn 1 Template of Aliador, IS secret.

I got it, thanks.

As long as he has some IC he can claim anything he feels like. The ethergaunts were cool.

I still don't feel completely ready, I still have things to work trough with the templates and the Mega Post, but for once I'll not let such minor inconveniences stop me. It's still thursday, and I'm not breaking the dead-line. This is it.

John Brown has told me he cannot play at all. Sorry folks. : (
Also, Album X states he is deluged with problems and will be unable to participate in Turn 1.
I have not seen or heard from Radiant since he decided to take his vacation.
I would like to welcome Vicious (whether he is vicious or not ) to the 5th IR. Welcome in, there!

William, Aliador has effectively taken control of the Theocracy of the Pale.
Had Aliador not done so, the Theocracy would have probably attacked the Empire of Iuz. They were quite sure of themselves, the clergy of Pholtus.
So what Aliador signs, the Theocracy now signs.
The Lendore Isle elves once thought themselves invincible, sitting out on the Lendore Islands.
Now they are beginning to appreciate just how vulnerable they are.
They join in the request to send their children and non-combatants to safety.
As you know, Celene and the Yeomanry have already joined the League of Athyr (although they remain under my control) for their own survival.
-
Aliador and the Lendores are requesting to join the Treaty of the Araphad Isles.
Aliador and the Lendores are also requesting to join the Treaty of Miranda.
Aliador is requesting to join the Greyhawk Defense Pact.
The Lendores are requesting to join the Neutrality Pact, laid down by James' Aestia.
The evacuation of children and civilians, by the tens of thousands, from the Theocracy of the Pale, Ratik (through the efforts of Aliador), and the Lendores will begin immediately upon the start of Turn 1.
The evacuation of hundreds of thousands of children from Aliador will begin immediately upon the start of Turn 1.
It is truly a grim scene, as parents and children separate, with good reason to believe they might never see each other again in this life.
It is so grim that the only real life comparison I could make, is obvious and I'm not going to post it to ENWorld.
Large numbers of children, elven and human, and civilians of all races flee via Gates to many different parts of Eluvans' League of Athyr.
Vast numbers flee to the capital city of Ekbir, in Baklunim, Williams' power.
Vast numbers want to go to the elven realm Highfolk, in Xaels' power, for they hope to reach the Demiplane of the Elves that Highfolk apparently can access. (Since Xael has not responded yet to the Aliador cry for help, this is up in the air.)
A large number wish to seek the safety of Zindia and the Guardinals (since Festy Dog has not responded yet to the Aliador cry for help, this is up in the air.)
Despite Kalanyrs' warnings about the vulnerability of his powers, large numbers of children are sent to the impregnable mountains of Gigantea and Hyperboria, and some to Miranda, hoping distance and terrain will protect them.
Worried about the ways of Aestia, which although not hostile is strange to these people in crisis, they do not send their children there to James' power.
The elves are too new in their relationship to Guilt Puppys' Scarlet Brotherhood and Venus' Orcreich to send their children there (sorry.)
Because of the chaos in Radiants' Celestial Imperium, the elves are unable to send their children there.
-
It would appear to both observers and spies that the ENTIRE POPULATION of Aliador is mobilizing.
The elven men and women, youths and maids, are taking up their swords, their bows, their maces, their armor, their spellbooks, and reporting for duty.
The Regular Armies of Aliador, hundreds of thousands strong, are concentrating their might in Varna, the capital city. They are being joined by one and a half million volunteers (assuming the rules allow it), as the elves of Aliador move to protect (in order of importance) their children, each other, their Realm, and their neighbors the Theocracy and Ratik (even though I don't control Ratik.)
In Celene and the Yeomanry, the call to arms goes out, and the regular armies of those nations mobilize. Large peasant populations in the Yeomanry, and large militias of elves in Celene, join them.
In the Lendores, all the elves - men, women, youths, and maids - gather their swords and their bows and their magic, in a grim determination to protect themselves and their lands.

From Edena:
Among drow?
First of all, all allowed to address drow address them as superiors, if they wish to live (or unless they are very powerful themselves.)
Females would bow or curtsie to drow females.
Females would never bow or curtsie to a drow male, especially if drow females are present.
Males would bow deeply or prostrate themselves before drow females.
Males would bow to drow males.
In a diplomatic setting ...
It is a general idea for one to bow more deeply to females.
It might not get you hurt not to bow to the female more deeply, but the drow MALE might be in serious trouble (from the female) if accorded equal respect to hers'.

The devils laugh at us all, First Maid.'
'We do not wish the downfall of Iuz. As we have said, we wish peace. Unfortunately, the devils with their gifts have destroyed peace. In bitter regret, we prepare for the inevitable war ... we are victimized, Iuz is victimized, all are victimized, by the devils and their 'gifts.'
'But we do not wish harm to Iuz. We wish peace. That is all we want: and we will pay the extraordinary price required for peace, though that price cost us all we have.'
'Velsharess Eclavdra ... we know well the Way of Lolth ... endless war, misery, and horror. Never a ray of hope. Never a glimmer of light. And never ... joy or joy in life. It is like they were dead, and in Living Death they live in the insane 'dream' of Lolth.'
