[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1960271, member: 2020"] TO RIKANDUR The Lady Gwyndilyn smiles and encourages the First Maid to drink some fruit juice, which is astonishingly good and invigorating (regardless of the alignment or race of the drinker.) She smiles at the First Maid, and speaks softly: 'be welcome in Aliador.' The Lord Leathnor, seeing the First Maid bow more deeply to him, speaks gently: 'We are all elves here. Individuals. Unique, and special. There is no superiority amongst men or women in Aliador. We who bear the burden of rule do so in humility, in service, and our lives are given over to our people.' The Lady speaks concerning Iuzs' offers: 'Ambassador, there are no elven druids in Aliador. Druidism is alien to us, for it is a religion of Balance, and we always seek for the Light, both Without and Within. Also, we have no merchants to send to the Empire of Iuz. Our people do not have a monetary economy in the ... sense you think of. We do have a system of trade, but it is not ... like that of other nations. We appreciate your offer. Yet we cannot avail ourselves of it.' The Lord then adds in: 'We do not grow gardens and trees for food ... food is plentiful in Aliador, and we thank the Seldarine for it. We grow gardens of great beauty, but each elf does that from the heart, an expression of personal appreciation, exhaltation and unbridled joy.' The Lord continues, softly: 'We do not seek the annihilation ... the deaths ... of anyone. We do not slay even the most aggressive intruders into Aliador, if we have any other choice. We revere Life, First Maid. We will not take life away ... if there is any other way.' The Lady speaks 'We do not wish war. The devils, the ancient enemies of Iuz, seek war. They grant gifts, knowing war will result. They would entrap both you and us in a spiral that would lead to the rending of Oerth.' The Lady continues: 'We council that the our world should reject these gifts, and choose peace. The quietude of the forest, the serenity of the summer breeze. The joy of lovers under the moon. We would hope that they listen, and choose not to return to ... all the horror, red madness, and death that is war. Iuz should know well the devils mean harm to him, and would see his downfall.' Upon hearing what the First Maid has to say, the Lord speaks up again: 'We thank you for returning the Spirit of the Forest back to us. The Unicorn, as you know him.' The Lord and Lady stand, he bows, and she curtsies ... in a gesture of appreciation. Then they set, and the Lord continues: 'We regret that there must be bloodshed and strife. The ways of humans are strange to us, and in paladins we see parallels to us ... and yet differences that are a great chasm we cannot cross. We understand, and yet we do not understand. If Iuz defended himself against this paladin, we understand that.' The Lady speaks up: 'We will not harm your guards or entourage. They are under our protection ... harm upon them would be ... it would be ... unacceptable. Your people will have honor and respect while they are here. And ... failure? They have not failed in any way. Are they not here? Do they not ... they do their best.' The Lord and Lady become very grave indeed when they see the ugly mark upon the First Maids' forehead. They turn and look at each other, and there is a look of ... sorrow. Acceptance. Understanding. A sad, profound comprehension. The Lord speaks softly: 'Your escort will return to Iuz. Have them tell him that Aliador is at peace. The devils will not draw Aliador into their schemes, anymore than the devils would fool Iuz into playing their games. Aliador is at peace, with Iuz and his people, and thanks to his First Maid and her entourage, that peace will continue. Thanks to them.' The Lady adds: 'You shall have your quiet prayer, First Maid. Anything you wish, we will provide. You are welcome to stay here for as long as Iuz requires. You have served Iuz well, and he should be proud of you. If he is wrathful, let him be angry at those devils who seek to manipulate and destroy him. First Maid, thanks to you Iuz has our goodwill and friendship. Let the entourage tell him so. Their mission has been a resounding success, a triumph for Iuz. The Lord and Lady of Aliador wish to compliment the First Maid and her entourage for their success in winning the hearts and minds of Aliador.' [/QUOTE]
