[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1964932, member: 2020"] (ok, I am now responding to the posts on page 4. I haven't read beyond that point. It would be physically impossible for me to write a second response to 4 pages of posts. After I have read through everything through page 6, I might give some blanket responses. Also, please note that where I came to secret sblocks I simply deleted the text and did not read them.) POSTED BY JAMES (IC discussions between Murlynd, Zagyg, and others) OOC: Zagyg grants the drow spells. They're only one step away in alignment than he is (CE to his CN) so they're perfectly acceptable clerics of Zagyg. They've just done something massively and monumentally unpredicable so they've immediately come under the scrutiny of his portfolio. So they get spells when they pray, and since he doesn't care male drow can be clerics now too. Their new domains are chaos, knowledge and magic and I hope they all like clubs. He doesn't announce that he's done so, ask them if they want spells, or anything like that. He just fills them up as they so desire, except he obviously can't grant them nasty evil Llothy spells. If eventually one of them decides to check up on things and start doing some serious "Who's granting me spells?" sorts of inquiries, he'll probably tell them something cryptic. He really doesn't have time for the drow, but this is too weird for a deity of eccentricity and unpredictability to pass up. And besides, he liked Eclavdra because she wasn't a sore winner at chess. FROM EDENA: The drow delegation in Polaria and Aestia, mostly survive the transition. To Zagygs' absolute frustration, though, they are becoming Chaotic Good. At the end of Turn 1, presumably, most of them will turn to the worship of Eilistraee or even the Seldarine! But yes, some will be grateful enough to Zagyg to take up his worship. And some of the drow went insane during the Withdrawal, and THEY will most certainly begin worshipping Zagyg the Mad! :) So a new Cult of Zagyg may well arise among the drow. Elsewhere, whether the stricken drow will worship Zagyg depends on what happens. There are 3 powers, as of this post, contesting the 99 abandoned drow cities. And there are 5 powers and 1 observing power, contesting the situation in the Great City. - POSTED BY MELKOR OOC : I am violating The Treaty?! I am saving the Drow from fate worst than death! IC: Princess Lanfear, currently Regent of Shevarash in her father`s absence, sends a message to all members of the Treaty of Erelhei-Cinhu, she looks incredibly beautiful and majestic, with her exotic half-drow beauty, silver hair, and white dress all in pearls: "One of the members of our Treaty is under attack by Elistraee`s forces, I demand we come to the aid of our allies! I also suggest that the next summit be held in our capital, Shavarash!" FROM EDENA (chuckles) That TEC Summit is indeed in progress! :) - POSTED BY KALANYR: Morwel raises an eyebrow at Lanfear's message. "Elistrae's forces seem to be helping rather than attacking, I do not think even you could have arrived in time to have stopped them slaughtering everyone, since the drow seem to be almost comatose for the most part, if that was their desire. And last time I looked it was Vampirisim that was the fate worse than death.

Really the proper response is kill first, give warning second. She views Galador's actions as an attack upon the drow, who are members of both the TEC and the Miranda Pact.

Seems it could go anywhere from here.) - POSTED BY BUGBEAR: Originally Posted by Melkor, Lord Of ALL! OOC : I am violating The Treaty?! I am saving the Drow from fate worst than death!
