Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1981625" data-attributes="member: 2020">Lord Leathnor of Aliador helps Lady Gwyndilyn of Aliador to her feet, and holds her a moment.  Then he excuses both himself and her from the TEC Summit, explaining that they have a people to protect, a people that are now threatened by a likely attack, even an Apocalypse from the Sky, and that they have to deal with that.  And the Lord and Lady, disappear in a flash of silver light.  The Lord of the Yuan-Ti immediately swears Fealty to the Wolf, then disappears from the conference.  (Thus, the Yuan-Ti will go to Paxus on Turn 2.)  The King of the Ice Elves, mouth agape, finally recovers his wits, and declares his nation will stand with Greater Nyrond (thus, the Ice Elves will go to Bugbear on Turn 2.)  Then he leaves the conference.  The drow passing through Withdrawal in the Hospice of Stars are (hopefully) unaffected, under the care of Eilistraee (I'm retaining them.)  -  Aliador withdraws it's forces from Gibenei at once, after they see that Iuz has done so.  Aliador expels the remaining merchants and diplomats of the Empire of Iuz from it's realm.  The Ambassador from Aliador to the Empire of Iuz, residing in Doraaka, teleports out with his staff, returning to the safety of Varna.  The elves of Aliador, merchants and otherwise, who were in the Empire of Iuz at the time of the vote, flee for the border.  Hopefully, at least some of them make it.   And a decent, honorable burial is given to the First Maid.  (Believe it or not.)  The Lord and Lady are in attendance, along with many of the nobility of Aliador, and diplomats from the Theocracy of the Pale, Ratik, and the Lendore Isles.  The Lord and Lady look down at her grave, holding hands, and the Lord speaks:  'We pray to the Seldarine that she is at peace.'  'We pray to the Seldarine that her death, does not foretell for us.'  'We pray to the Seldarine, that her passing does not foretell the passing of the World.'  The Lady speaks quietly:  'She was loyal to Iuz.  She was faithful in life, to the end of her life.'  'We hope she rests in peace.'  'We pray for peace.  Not for myself or my lord:  we are not worthy.'  'We pray for peace, for our stricken people and our stricken World.'</blockquote>
