Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1963113" data-attributes="member: 2020">(assuming Serpenteye allows the Withdrawal post as legit)  TO SERPENTEYE  TO ALL POWERS WITH DROW DELEGATIONS IN THEIR LANDS  Rhynnon, Iuz, Xin, Al'Akbar, and all the others hear the news, then see it for themselves:  the drow delegations in their lands fall ill, then become very ill, then seem to fall into delirium and madness.  Then they start dying.  Spells reveal the evil within them is dissipating.  Their innate elvish natures are trying to reassert themselves, but the drow are unable to survive the transition back to their ancient selves.  It has been too long, and for too long the drow have drunk from the well of evil and darkness.  If attempts are made to save them, then perhaps that makes a difference, and they survive.  If they survive, their illness, confusion, and change goes on for months, and for that entire time they are debilitated.  If, in the case of drow in evil nations - like those drow in the Empire of Iuz - evil magic is used to attempt to help the drow, or if a reversal of the Withdrawal is attempted using evil power, it typically kills the drow in question.  Those drow who survive with evil help, often go completely insane (Ivid level insane)  A few drow, aided and abetted in fighting the Withdrawal with evil magic, remain drowish and retain their minds, and these few become REALLY EVIL, FOUL persons.  Any drow who are aided by evil demipowers (like Iuz himself) are able to automatically resist the Withdrawal, and they become some of the most evil beings in all of Greyspace.  This will end up creating a curious, even bizarre situation, in which the majority of drow are good (including Eclavdra), and a few drow are more evil than even the drow of old.  It is possible that Iuz or other beings could kidnap Eclavdra from the Great City (she is helpless to stop them) and aid her in overcoming the Withdrawal.  In which case, Eclavdra will become evil on a scale that beggars her old self.  However ...  Eilistraee may intervene directly (Serpenteye must adjudicate this) to protect Eclavdra.  If Eilistraee does intervene, a battle of demipowers is possible.  This matter is up to Serpenteye.  Whether the drow goddess of trickery (who is chaotic neutral, and was introduced by William) will intervene, and whose side she takes, is also up to Serpenteye.  Does this produce confusion and a real mess, with opportunity and problems for a number of powers in the IR?  Yes ...  Such is my way.  <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=":)" />  Edena_of_Neith</blockquote>
