Hey Melkor, you sent me a reply to an email I sent you. However, it looks like (perhaps) it was an email meant for airwhale. What do you want me to do about it?

Hmm, send it to Airwhale then, it looks like there are some spies messing with my diplomatic correspondence!

When the smoke clears, King Rhynnon and his entourage appear in a finely
decorated ballroom. The devil guard, in a succinct stutters of movement,
march in synchronicity to the ourside corners of the ballroom, anger in their
eyes awaiting the slightest hint of infiltration.

Beautiful women, began to gather around the guests with dishes of exquisite
appetizers, flagons of wine, and smiles. Their beauty is unearthly and
with hints of being Outsiders. While not succubi (too chaotic!) their features
imply creatures from the Lower Planes. They keep a respectful distance from
the guests, solely offering the gifts in their plates and decanters, and nothing more.

Rhynnon seems unimpressed by the Beautiful creatures and ignores the offered food. He simply stands and waits, staring seemingly at nothing. The other humans, though nervous, gladly accept the food and drink and attempt to strike up conversation with the ladies. (Tieflings I presume)

When the High lord finaly arrives, King Rhynnon steps forward and bows.

"I have come to ask you to consider the offer made by the Mordheil Queen Eclavdra. The TEC pact she proposes, though crude, may be a useful instrument in restraining the more chaotic elements in the Flaneass. Should the Solarastrium join it, they will be able to influence it's development and through the pact have influence not only on the Mordheil, but on your cambion neighbor as well."

Concerning problems with the TEC Pact, that is why the drow called for the TEC Summit, to now be held in the capital city of the Yuan-Ti Empire, their ally.
Very well, Then I request that this issue be put on the agenda for the conference.
 

The Brotherhood seconds Rhynnon's request. Further, we move that a system of voting, or other procedure for collective action, be determined early in the Summit. Without such measures, no terms of the Pact can truly be enforced judiciously.
 

Agreed, I vote for one mandate for every TEC Pact member, and position of Overlord for Iuz. He would have deciding voice, worth half the mandates of members present. :p ;)

RIKANDUR AZEBOL AND KNIGHT OTU: Last night was the third time that Al'Akbar's government asked for ambassadors who had business with him to please meet with him. I have NOT been ignoring either of you.
(The person in the Embassy of Aerdi responsible for not relaying these news wil be .... replaced. ;))

It is Ashardalon himself, again in human form, who evntually steps before Al'Akbar. For a split second, the dragon evaluates who might win if Al'Akbar and he ever entered combat with each other.
Ashardalon, a great wyrm dragon, once feared until a druidess destroyed his heart, who bound a fiend to replace that heart, who had been in a place the gods themselves feared to even mention...


...kneels before the demigod, realizing his inferior powers.
"Al'Akbar, High Cleric, Restorer of Righteousness.

Oerth is standing on a crossroads, or so say many divinations and omens. Your return to Oerth is a certain sign for changes that will effect the whole world.

The crossroads Oerth stands at is a dangerous one. Each step may bring it closer to devastation, regardless of which step is taken. You understand this, and you have taken steps to prevent this. Likewise, Aerdi understands its responsibility. Seeing Oerth devastated cannot be something anyone wants. Aerdi also is taking steps to prevent this.

This is why Aerdi joined the Treaty of Erelhei-Cinlu. We wish to be a stabilizing factor for Oerth. Stability is what Oerth will need to weather the coming storm. We hope that we can be an important factor in this regard."
 

TO SERPENTEYE

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.

TO XAEL

The Lord and Lady of Aliador are requesting the children of Aliador be taken to the almost impregnable demiplane controlled by the elves of Highfolk.
If the elves of Highfolk, would do that for them.
If the elves of Highfolk, are able to do that for them.

TO ELUVAN AND MANY OTHERS

The Lord and Lady of Aliador are VERY grateful for your offer of help.
Pending the reply out of Highfolk, they may take you up on the offer.
They intend no offense, but point out that the children and civilians need to be sent to the safest possible place in Greyspace, and as far as they know, Xaels' demiplane is the safest place.

Celene and the Yeomanry do join the League of Athyr, and send their emissaries to Niola Dra, and acknowledge the Leagues' overlordship (although I am still playing these countries.)

The Nations of Celene and the Lendores do not sign the TEC Treaty.
It is literally unthinkable for them, to join in an alliance created by Eclavdra and the drow.
If Queen Yolande and the Moonbow of the Lendores accepted such a treaty, they would both be immediately killed by their own people for treason. Or, if they were lucky, simply expelled permanently from their homelands.
As per Canon, the elves of Celene and the Lendores will not have dealings with the drow. Period. Ever. Finis.

The Yeomanry does not sign the TEC Pact, but it might have had it not joined the League of Athyr. The Yeomanry is hoping the great might of Athyr will protect it over the (at best) dubious protection of the Treaty of Evil Powers.

That leaves Aliador. The greatest and most noble of the elven nations, it has signed the TEC Pact (with consequences as written) and it intends to keep the Pact.
The Lord and Lady are revered and understood by their people to a degree that is not the case in Celene and the Lendores, and the elves of Aliador are a wiser and more farsighted people than the elves of the other two nations.
So, the Elves of Aliador stay their hands, and afford the diplomats of the evil TEC Powers all due respect and courtesy.
They ALSO send their OWN ambassadors and emissaries to all the other TEC Powers, even to Melkors' City of the Undead, to Rauxes and the Court of Ivid the Mad, and up the Skull Road to Doraaka and the Demonic Court of Iuz. They are, of course, very, very careful, these elves (ok, careful is an understatement. Anyone got a better word? ...)

TO KALANYR, AND ALL POWERS WITH LARGE ELVEN POPULATIONS

Same thing. The Lord and Lady express their deep gratitude (and that gratitude IS sincere) to Queen Xin. They hope Highfolk can open the way to the demiplane. They hope there is a safe place for the children.
Aliador realizes that Miranda is as badly threatened, perhaps, as they are.
Aliador states it's UNEQUIVICABLE alliance and unity with Miranda. And all other elven nations.
Aliador affirms it's unity with the elves of Greater Nyrond, the Ice Elves of Hyperboria, the elves of Polaria and Aestia, the elves of Ginsel: to all the elves (and half elves too, and the good drow wherever they are) the Elves of Aliador offer their friendship, alliance, and support.

TO VENUS

The Elves of Aliador did not at first realize the Orcs of Orcreich were not as evil and horrific as their cousins in the Rakers.
Once they see that Orcreich is allied with Baklunim, and the other things Orcreich has done, the Elves of Aliador offer their (cautious) friendship and goodwill to Orcreich. They offer to set up diplomatic relations and to exchange ambassadors and emissaries on a friendly basis.
The Elves simply did not understand Orcreich at first. Now, seeing the situation, they realize Orcreich is a potential ally and even friend.

And yes, Venus, the plea to protect the children and civilians of Aliador, the Theocracy, and Ratik was a public plea indeed.

TO RIKANDUR

Posted by Rikandur:

First Maid of God-Tzar is coming here, He is wishing to offer his protection to Elf folk of Aliador.

From Edena to Rikandur:

The Lord and Lady immediately and without fanfare have the First Maid brought before them.
The Lord and Lady stand: He bows, she curtsies, both of them showing somber respect to the ambassador of Iuz, giving the First Maid all due courtesy.
A comfortable chair is brought for the First Maid, and the Lady offers the First Maid any drink (which the elves can provide) of her pleasure.

The Lord Leathnor, then speaks quietly:

Iuz the ... God-Tzar offers his protection to Aliador ...
We appreciate this offer from his gracious Majesty.

Exactly what terms of protection does his Majesty offer to us?
What terms does Iuz require of us, for his protection?

Certainly, we are surrounded by many powerful nations, and yet more enemies threaten from above, Below, and by magical means.
How would Iuz halt these aggressors against our people?

Both the Lord and the Lady, their power veiled, sit in quiet, solemn repose, faces intent and grave, listening carefully, as the First Maid gives her reply ...

(playing the drow)

Eclavdra states she has no problem with the TEC Summit being at Rarys' Winter Palace, if the TEC Pact Powers want it there.

Then, when nobody is watching and nobody can hear, Eclavdra mutters something (for everyones' OOC benefit)

I see the elves are turning to Al'Akbar, Athyr, Highfolk, and the others.
Why can't they see the Way of Lolth? It is the only path of survival for them.
I suppose when the Illithid are feasting on them, that they'll reconsider?
The Seldarine have not afforded protection to the elves. If they had, why did Aliador have to hide itself for millennia?

Well, so be it. If the elves refuse the Way of Lolth, and they are exterminated, they can't blame me for it.
I would have given them refuge.
They say it's too high a price to pay, to convert to Lolth. Well I say: nothing is free in life. The elves want everything free, and that's not how it works in this world.
