Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1959426" data-attributes="member: 2020">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 ...</blockquote>
