They dismiss</p><p> the 'trial' as the Chosen using their power to coerce the races of Toril into appearing before them in</p><p> a mockery of justice, so they may simply eliminate those they dislike, and ensure the cooperation of</p><p> those who have not yet displeased them.</p><p></p><p> They say, "Give the world to the Illithid, if you want true justice. For the thrall races have finally</p><p> proven to *everyone* that they are not fit to govern themselves."</p><p></p><p> They send no member of their own race to the trial (though they indicate that they will do so if it is</p><p> *absolutely* necessary). Instead, two utterly-dominated thralls are dispatched. One Drow and one</p><p> Sverfneblin, both of whom have been mentally 'conditioned', and would be near-mindlessly devoted</p><p> to their masters even if their psionic compulsions were broken. Nevertheless they are quite capable</p><p> of representing the Mind Flayers effectively in court. They are offered as evidence that the Illithid</p><p> have had no part of genocide... Merely 'social reconstruction' to the mutual benefit of all races</p><p> involved.</p><p></p><p> As for the plot to darken the light... It was simply an attempt to save the Thrall races from</p><p> themselves by placing them under the safety of Illithid control, their rightful place. After the initial</p><p> effort failed, due to a vicious and deadly strike of the foolish and suicidally paranoid Psionic League,</p><p> it became an essential security measure. Only the threat of losing their precious sun could keep the</p><p> thrall-hordes from descending upon their rightful masters and slaughtering them with the</p><p> mercilessness that the Illithid themselves are so often accused of.</p><p></p><p> Finally, it is made clear that the Deep Illithid have nothing to lose. If it comes down to dying, or</p><p> being forced to operate under the will of thrall races or, far worse, being remade like the</p><p> abominations, the Neoillithid... They will use their weapon without hesitation, and take the whole or</p><p> Toril down with them. A single psionic command, known to all of the elder-brains and many of the</p><p> higher-ranking Illithid, given from anywhere in the underdark, is all it will take.</p><p></p><p></p><p> Regards,</p><p></p><p> Phasmus</p><p> Aka Don'Calamari </p><p></p><p> Posts: 74 | From: Oregon | Registered: Feb 2001 | IP: Logged</p></blockquote><p></p>

These new charges will be heard, and considered. The Chosen are not omnipotent. Their total power level is about equal to twice the strength of the Technomancy, the strongest power currently in Realmspace. If every power ganged up on them, they could be easily defeated. However, they are quite capable of taking on any one power and destroying it. - - - To answer your question, Psionicist, the Chosen of Mystra have decided the time has come for a reckoning concerning the 7 Year War (which was what occurred in the IR threads.) They watched in horror as their world was torn asunder and it's people slaughtered. They waited, and gathered their power, and grew, and now they are out to dispense a little long overdue justice.

ROTFLMAO!!! If you're meaning the known Chosen of Mystra, then I'm afraid you're very wrong in that assumption. Any one Deity could decimate all of them with a thought and they would be powerless to do anything about it. If you're meaning something else entirely, then my apologies. BTW, if there was ever an "Athas vs. Toril" war and the FR gods wouldn't intervene, then you would see some very happy Athasians enjoying the plentiful water, metal, and pathetic "pale" slaves at their beck and call. -------------------- WarHound Productions- Kick-ass d20 products for the gaming masses!

She'll make a Chosen for the dumbest reasons, like if she has a hangnail.

Mystra is not involved: Her Chosen are handling this, independently. There are 20 Chosen in Realmspace, and currently all of them are on Toril. All of them, are rather unhappy with the warmongers who almost destroyed their world.

After much deliberation, they decide that no Neoillithid is to represent any other group (on the off chance one of the other groups should ask one of their resident-Neoillithid to do so). The Deep Illithid (assuming I may speak for them) denounce the event as childish. They dismiss the 'trial' as the Chosen using their power to coerce the races of Toril into appearing before them in a mockery of justice, so they may simply eliminate those they dislike, and ensure the cooperation of those who have not yet displeased them. They say, "Give the world to the Illithid, if you want true justice. For the thrall races have finally proven to *everyone* that they are not fit to govern themselves." They send no member of their own race to the trial (though they indicate that they will do so if it is *absolutely* necessary). Instead, two utterly-dominated thralls are dispatched. One Drow and one Sverfneblin, both of whom have been mentally 'conditioned', and would be near-mindlessly devoted to their masters even if their psionic compulsions were broken. Nevertheless they are quite capable of representing the Mind Flayers effectively in court. They are offered as evidence that the Illithid have had no part of genocide... Merely 'social reconstruction' to the mutual benefit of all races involved. As for the plot to darken the light... It was simply an attempt to save the Thrall races from themselves by placing them under the safety of Illithid control, their rightful place. After the initial effort failed, due to a vicious and deadly strike of the foolish and suicidally paranoid Psionic League, it became an essential security measure. Only the threat of losing their precious sun could keep the thrall-hordes from descending upon their rightful masters and slaughtering them with the mercilessness that the Illithid themselves are so often accused of. Finally, it is made clear that the Deep Illithid have nothing to lose. If it comes down to dying, or being forced to operate under the will of thrall races or, far worse, being remade like the abominations, the Neoillithid... They will use their weapon without hesitation, and take the whole or Toril down with them. A single psionic command, known to all of the elder-brains and many of the higher-ranking Illithid, given from anywhere in the underdark, is all it will take.
