Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1961357" data-attributes="member: 2020">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 <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ) 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.</blockquote>
