Rhynnon promised Eclavdra that he would aid her people and Rhynnon keeps his word. Furthermore, having read the most anceint elven histories, some of which dated back to before the sundering of the elven race and the great war, he has suspected that something of this sort may happen. Which would explain why he has been courting Eclavdra's people. The Mordeil are Drow no more, once agian they are Mordeil.  FROM EDENA:  About half the drow delegation in Nyrond dies.  The other half remain deathly ill through Turn 1, before recovering and turning into good drow (Mordeil.)  And, the forces of Nyrond, come to the Great City under construction.  Please note the Great City is directly under the Yuan-Ti capital city of the Yuan-Ti Empire, in southern Hempmonaland.  The Great City is not shielded from scrying, so there shouldn't be a problem with Epic and Elite Forces teleporting in.  -  POSTED BY BUGBEAR TO MELKOR  Melkor, I suggest that you steer clear of the great city, as attempts to convert the Mordheil there into vampire spawn would be considered an attack on a fellow member, and thus a Violation of the TEC Pact. A violation which would ensure your destruction.Edit: The fact that you are embracing those who choose to stay behind is a questionable act which could be construed as an attack. But unfortunately, Nyrond lacks the resources to police all the former Mordheil enclaves, so there is little that can be done about it at this time.  FROM EDENA  The Yuan-Ti Empire (my power) has nothing to say on the matter.  They are concerned with collective security, and do not wish to see the TEC Pact fall apart.  They believe that the TEC Pact members will figure out a way out of the trouble, without fighting ... or, at least, they hope so.  They couldn't give a whit about the drow.  But they are concerned for their own skins.  If the TEC Pact falls apart, what remains to protect them?  -  POSTED BY KNIGHT OTUGreat care is taken that the Drow currently in Aerdi do not die. A number of professionals is sent to other places where the drow are suffering and where they are welcome. No healing magic is used, because frankly, without the gods, only bards have healing magic. Mundane skills are used, from herbalism and alchemy to soul-doctoring. Any skilled observer may recognize that those aiding the drow are not very enthusiastic about doing so. Still, they do their best, following Overking Jahren's speech about "no traditional foes".  FROM EDENA  An important point here:  they are not enthusiastic, and Aerdi is an evil leaning power.  More than half the drow delegation in Aerdi dies.  But those that remain, do not Withdrawl.  They turn into the horrific, insanely evil drow (so evil they make the old drow look like elves in comparison) that I said was a possibility.  This takes all of Turn 1 to happen.  -  POSTED BY MELKOREdena of Neith!A gate opens near the Great City.From it, Galllador himself emerges, ridng a Shadow Dragon, Sword of Kas in his hand, radiating a terrible and grear Power, some of his most powerful children on the side of their Lord, the sphere of unholy Darkness surrounding them, blocking the light of accursed sun.Gallador rides to face Elistraee, angry and shocked."What are you doing to the Drow, my allies!? Where is Eclavdra?! The Greater Gods have left, you should have fled with them! I do not fear pathetic Godlings as you, not with the power of Sword of Kas on my side, the age of false Divinity on Oerth has ended. and you are nothing less than frivolious whore to me!"Meanwhile, Shadow Prince Allator is looking for Eclavdra, using his great powers to sneak past Elistraee`s forces.   FROM EDENA  Eclavdras' exact location is protected from scrying by spells and her artifacts.  However, it is possible she could be found by old fashioned searches.  It would take a while to do this, of course, and I do not know how long Gallador and his forces have.  Serpenteye has not ruled that Eilistraee is under my control:  therefore, I cannot speak for her.  I'm guessing that she isn't going to be nice to Gallador, as Eilistraee is something of a militant demipower in her own way, and in any case she is trying to protect the drow, and help them convert to the Light, and here is Lord Gallador who wants to make them all into vampires.  But Serpenteye must rule on this.  What Eilistraee does, is up to him.  (Assuming she is even there.  I haven't read the later posts in this thread, remember.  I'm reacting to the input I have at the moment.  I don't know what has been said on pages 3, 4, 5, and 6.)  The Yuan-Ti Empire (my power) does NOT know that Gallador has appeared.  Once they find out, they state that this is a matter for the TEC Pact members to decide on, and that THEY are staying OUT of this.  After all, they have enough on their hands without getting into the drow brawl they see emerging as of Melkors' post.  Aliador, of course, does not respond.  It cannot.  It is Thomas' power, and I'm merely subbing for him.  It would be a Conflict of Interest thus, for Aliador to interfere or make statements.  So all of Thomas' nations (Aliador, Celene, the Lendores, and the Yeomanry) are silent.  -  POSTED BY ANABSTERCORIANSadly, the magicians and healers of the Greyhawk Isthmus can do little or nothing for the drow in their care. What divine healing they do have is not granted any longer, much to their woe and to the suffering of the wealthy, and the great wizards of the Greyhawk City-States will not expend their Wishes to save a paltry few. Though they are restrained in their raving and soothed in their fever, it is not likely that a significant fraction will survive these wracking pangs of addiction.  However, those drow who fall in to the grasp of Eli's succubi minions (perhaps 25% of those who land in the Triumvirate's territory) will be treated with evil arcane magic, daemonic power, to attempt to assuage their withdrawl pains, as methadone to a junkie.  FROM EDENA  Nearly all the untreated drow delegates die.  Of those 25% treated by the succubi, most survive ... and instead of Withdrawing they turn into the monstrously evil drow I commented was a possibility.  This takes all of Turn 1 to happen, unless Serpenteye rules otherwise.</blockquote>
