[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1976210, member: 2020"] TO JAMES Eilistraee promptly gives back the 1 Epic PL of aid granted her by Zagyg, along with her heartfelt thanks for the support. - TO KALANYR Eilistraee is VERY grateful to Morwel for this gift. She continues her work on the stricken drow, but she is going to ever be the staunch ally and friend of Morwel, from this point on forward into indefinite time. - TO ALL INTERESTED: Concerning Aliador: The people of Aliador maintain numerous cities, which consist of tens of thousands of trees. The elves live within the Spiritheart of these trees (see the description of Aliador) in great chambers and passages of living wood. Here are some notable cities of Aliador: Varna, Capital City of Aliador: Population 250,000 Vhandor, Fortress City of the West: Population 140,000 Vhurrenlirra, City of Joy: Population 101,000 Veillanna, City of Adamant: Population 97,000 Vallenthrann: City of Quietude: Population 88,000 Varrendor: City of Silver: Population 74,000 Vhurranorra: City of the Sun: Population 71,000 Velreith: City of Flowers: Population 68,000 Velnorra: City of the Moon: Population 65,000 Varanaith: City of Magic: Population 57,000 Vindar: City of Melding: Population 55,000 Villanoth: City of Sorcery: Population 54,000 Vedgron: City of Granite: Population 52,000 Vlothnor: City of Green Towers: Population 50,000 Vonnouth: City of Flowing Waters: Population 49,000 Villanor: City of Singing Waters: Population 47,000 Vhonluin: City of Lace: Population 45,000 Varmandor: City of the Seldarine: Population 44,000 Vhurluin: City of Secrets: Population 42,000 Vindleleith: City of Leaves: Population 41,000 Montrose: City of Mingling: Population 41,000 Vhurra: City of the Hawthorn: Population 40,000 Vinnluin: City of the Stars: Population 38,000 Vhaelon: City of the Bards: Population 37,000 Virralea: City of Song: Population 36,000 Verragont: City of the Mountains: Population 34,000 Calrose: City of the Spires: Population 32,000 Virra: City of the Telepaths: Population 31,000 Varluin: City of Mithril: Population 29,000 Vonna: City of Adamant: Population 25,000 Vindleleath: City of Spires: Population 23,000 Vondor: City of Roses: Population 21,000 Currently, every one of these cities is in a full state of readiness. Elves by the hundreds of thousands, men and women, youths and maids, have their spells, swords, and bows ready. In Varna itself, in the capital, the city is a sea of swords, shields, armor, defensive preparations, and elves working busily to build further defenses, both mundane and magical. The Armies of Aliador have also deployed along the borders of the Theocracy of the Pale to protect it. The Armies of the Theocracy of the Pale have mobilized and moved to the borders also. Great forces from Aliador have been deployed to Ratik to protect it, and all of Ratiks small army is mobilized. Aliador has also sent sizeable contingents to the Lendore Isles, to protect them, and the elves of those isles have mobilized into full war readiness. The Guardians - the Norns, Nymphs, and other mighty beings that have always been the protectors of Aliador - have moved into secret positions across the region. Likewise, the faerie of Aliador have readied themselves. Quite a potent force themselves, albeit small in numbers, they are waiting for the expected onslaught. - The first few drow, having survived the Withdrawal and become good in alignment, are showing up in Aliador. (I have Serpenteyes' direct permission on this matter.) The good drow are starting to trickle in. Why Aliador? Who knows? Perhaps it is the uniquely tolerant attitude of the elves of Aliador. Perhaps it is the prospect of the Reunification of the Elves, which if it happens would be a world shaking event that would topple forever the deific structure of elvenkind. Perhaps it is because Eclavdra desires it. Perhaps Eilistraee is asking it. Perhaps the good drow seek a welcome in the Surface World they think only Aliador can grant. Perhaps ... the drow feel as threatened as the elves by the current state of events in Greyspace. Who knows? Some of these drow venerate Morwel. Some venerate Eilistraee. Many venerate Al'Akbar. Some are lawful good, some neutral good, and some chaotic good. Some are peaceful, some temperamental. Some are cheerful, some are morbid. They are as varied in personality as the elves themselves. But ... They all seem to have one thing in common now with their elven brethren: an extreme reluctance and loathing to harm their own kind (and elves now count as their own kind) and a feeling of joy and closeness, emotional sustenance and strength, that comes from being around those of their own kind (which means in this case, elves of all kinds and colors.) There is something the Good Drow have their their elven counterparts do not seem to have: a primordial savagery and ferocity that even the Withdrawal could not tame ... a primordial fierceness that has yet to express itself in battle against a foe that would harm them or the elves. Fortunately for said theoretical foe, this primordial battle fury and savagery has not yet revealed itself. (Think of Eclavdra when she was in her berserk state and almost levelled half of Rel Mord, before the Compulsion of the Light stopped her. Now, think of a MILLION Eclavdras, on the battlefield, with NO Compulsion of the Light to stop them since the enemy insisted on attacking and harming their people, their families, and their children.) There are a lot of drow going through Withdrawal in the Hospice of Stars. Far, far more than a million. And the first few are recovered, have become good, and they are all heading to Aliador. Every last one. [/QUOTE]
