&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Deep Illithid are quick to point out that the Umbran is, in fact, the sole surviving *evil* member of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; his race.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Neoillithid and the Deep Illithid represent themselves separately.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Neoillithid individually defend their actions against the elf fleet, the shadows, and even the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Umbran Illithid... all as self defense and/or the justified defense of others.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Deep Illithid of Toril plead guilty to crimes against Sentience... They agree to pay for their crimes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; as best they can and abide by the decision of the court (assuming it is a universally accepted&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; authority). They request, however, that the massive alignment-shift of their race be considered as a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; mitigating factor... that it be recognized that (they hope) they will never engage in such atrocities&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; again. They plead for forgiveness from their former thralls, and promise to make restitution... if that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; remains a possibility in light of the court's decision. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 82 | From: Oregon | Registered: Feb 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; DocMoriartty &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 8593 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 07, 2001 09:31 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; First off I would like to request that the judge not bias the court by referring to my client as evil.

It matters not if he thought he was justified in trying to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; bring to an end all life on Toril . . . not at all.

It is accused of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Deliberately planning death and slaughter against the Churches of Lathander, Chauntea, Shune,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sharess, who did no harm to anyone. The exact contrary, in fact.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Deliberately trying to unleash armaggedon upon a world that was still in the process of being&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; repaired from the previous war, and having recidived several times in their attempt to commit the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; greatest crime conceivable ever.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Having tried to enthrall all life forms in their dictatorial regime, which goes against every principle and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; convictions of all the targeted people.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Indulging in irrepentant evil.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; As aggravational circumstances, the accused is not from the World of Toril, and has thus no&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; fundamental rights to exist in our cosmolgy.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Furthermore, its whole way of life is utterly incompatible with the life of everyone else on this world.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Its hatred is still visible, even palpable.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It is guilty, and cannot be acquitted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It is guilty, and for the punishment, we havn't a mass of choice:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Exiling it in another cosmology, with the risk of it gathering its sibling and coming back to Toril in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; order to &quot;avenge&quot; itself. This is too risky, and can't be accepted.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Enforcing an alignment change, with a ceremony akin to the one the Four Churches have already&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; done -- and such a ritual could be useful, given the state in which the foolishness of that creature and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; its deceased siblings put Toril into. It could then live as a normal citizen of Toril, among the other&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Illithids who have seen the Light and rejected the Darkness that obscured their mind.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - Destroying it utterly and completely, so that this evil is never to return.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Of these choice, only the two latter are possible.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Arguing over proofs or circumstances is futile -- noone can claim they have no clue of what the Illithids&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of New Umbra did. We should settle this matter instantly. And, in the name of every living thing of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Toril, that creature can't be released on the world as it is now. It should be dead or redeemed. No&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; other choices are possible without becoming guilty of crime againt sentience, life and Toril itself.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Church of Lathander declare that they favor the redeeming sentence.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Gnomes declare that they favor the death sentence.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Meanwhile, the Yuan-ti have a small question for Edena: Where they successfull in looting all what&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; they can from New Umbra ? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 1492 | From: Somewhere in France | Registered: Dec 2000&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Edena_of_Neith &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 1235 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 07, 2001 11:27 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; (said solemnly, seriously)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; As the deep illithid, the neoillithid, and the Angels continue to work, they are joined by others.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Gradually, the volcanoes cease erupting.

They come up out of dwarven and gnomish cities, out of humanoid underground bunkers.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They peek out of the edges of forests.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They look around the mouths of caves.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The sky is dark and gloomy, filled with steam and dust, and the gloom is moving, clouds streaming by&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; in an endless procession on the disturbed winds of the atmosphere.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Those clouds stream by, but they thin, and it gets a little bright.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The clouds thin a little further, the quakes lesser to a minor tremble, the wind blows gently now, and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the terrified populace perks up it's courage, and more people spill out into the open, looking around,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; looking up at the sky.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The clouds thin sufficiently, and the sun appears, red and sullen, wreathed in clouds of radiant debris,&nbsp;

Victory!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The grim task of rebuilding and the very awful task of burying the dead remains, but for the moment&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; elation sweeps the planet.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And in the temples of the Four Churches, the priests and priestesses who remain consummate their&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; passion in one of the greatest rites of passion yet seen, while their followers dance with glee, and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; drink with abandon, or run singing and yelling about, elation on their faces.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Armaggedon is over, and we have survived, and we have triumphed!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Victory!&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The priests and priestesses of the Four Churches, make it the One Church.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; From this point forth, all the clergy, male and female, worship all four Gods/Goddesses - Lathander,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sharess, Chauntea, and Sune, in that order.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They practice the rituals of all four, and the four blur together into one great ritual of hope, renewal,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; love, ecstascy, and oneness with the Weave and the World that shelters them.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The clergy of Llirra, our Lady of Joy, very quickly merge, and the Five Churches merge into one.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Selune's clergy move heavily into this church, dragging Selune into it, and very slowly her people&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; merge into the greater faith.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It will not be long before the Church of the Sun and Stars will rise in it's full glory, and with it's&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; combined might, begin the process of restoration, of healing the hurts of the world, of resurrecting the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; dead, of comforting the living, and of celebrating, teaching the arts of hedonism to even the deep&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; illithid (horrors!!!) who can now feel it due to the change in the world, inspiring a new sense of purpose&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; and planning for a better tomorrow.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The gnomes create new medicines, or will, that stave off radiation sickness, and the priests and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; priestesses of Mystra work to save those who fall sick from the Weave Poisoning (the damaged Weave&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; is literally making people become sick and die.)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; All over Toril, the process of rebuilding begins ... it is just beginning, but everyone is involved.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Even the phaerimm and the sharn, have put aside their differences, and are working together to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; rebuild.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Even the kender are being treated with respect, perhaps for the first time, as they work dilligently in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the rebuilding process.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Those resurrected or cured of their Thralldom by the High Ritual marvel at the world changed, and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; they, in their millions, join in in the restoration effort.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And the drow resurrectees put aside their ancient differences with the elves, and rejoin them.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The svirfnebli put aside their wars with the drow and illithid, and join ranks with them.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Even the aboleth come to the surface to lend a hand, along with a hoard of former thralls, and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; everyone looks curiously at the strange beings from below: and soon the aboleth are faced with the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; horror every Krynnite fears: a dozen kender are all asking a dozen questions at once to their faces,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; since they are so new and different.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; But the aboleth only smile, and communicate back with their mighty telepathic powers. &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Edit: Modified to take into account what Edena said while I was typing this.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Church of the Sun and Stars agree to perform the Life Ritual again.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; However, they don't have enough magical power left, now that they've sacrificed several of their relics&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; to power the first, to perform a second alone.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They need support from as much churches as possible to that effort.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This new ritual would resurrect the people fell to the Illithids and the Shadow Creatures, as well as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ensure all raised creatures are of good alignment (if necessary by changing their alignment at the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Posts: 1620 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged Phasmus Member Member # 2639 posted December 07, 2001 09:30 PM The Deep Illithid are quick to point out that the Umbran is, in fact, the sole surviving *evil* member of his race. The Neoillithid and the Deep Illithid represent themselves separately. The Neoillithid individually defend their actions against the elf fleet, the shadows, and even the Umbran Illithid... all as self defense and/or the justified defense of others. The Deep Illithid of Toril plead guilty to crimes against Sentience... They agree to pay for their crimes as best they can and abide by the decision of the court (assuming it is a universally accepted authority). They request, however, that the massive alignment-shift of their race be considered as a mitigating factor... that it be recognized that (they hope) they will never engage in such atrocities again. They plead for forgiveness from their former thralls, and promise to make restitution... if that remains a possibility in light of the court's decision.

I do not understand, what is the point? Let us kill this Illithid, and be done with it. It matters not if he thought he was justified in trying to bring to an end all life on Toril . . . not at all. Let us finish him, and move on. I am intereted in determining exactly what it would take to close off Toril to *all* extraplanar influences and visitors, so that this might never happen again.

The Church of Lathander propose a Paladin as prosecuting attorney. His first action is "Detect Evil". As it magically "beeps", he know that the Illithid is guilty. "I suppose this creature will not have the idiocy of pleading non-guilty. It is accused of - Deliberately planning death and slaughter against the Churches of Lathander, Chauntea, Shune, Sharess, who did no harm to anyone. The exact contrary, in fact. - Deliberately trying to unleash armaggedon upon a world that was still in the process of being repaired from the previous war, and having recidived several times in their attempt to commit the greatest crime conceivable ever. - Having tried to enthrall all life forms in their dictatorial regime, which goes against every principle and convictions of all the targeted people. - Indulging in irrepentant evil. As aggravational circumstances, the accused is not from the World of Toril, and has thus no fundamental rights to exist in our cosmolgy. Furthermore, its whole way of life is utterly incompatible with the life of everyone else on this world. Its hatred is still visible, even palpable. It is guilty, and cannot be acquitted. It is guilty, and for the punishment, we havn't a mass of choice: - Exiling it in another cosmology, with the risk of it gathering its sibling and coming back to Toril in order to "avenge" itself. This is too risky, and can't be accepted. - Enforcing an alignment change, with a ceremony akin to the one the Four Churches have already done -- and such a ritual could be useful, given the state in which the foolishness of that creature and its deceased siblings put Toril into. It could then live as a normal citizen of Toril, among the other Illithids who have seen the Light and rejected the Darkness that obscured their mind. - Destroying it utterly and completely, so that this evil is never to return. Of these choice, only the two latter are possible. Arguing over proofs or circumstances is futile -- noone can claim they have no clue of what the Illithids of New Umbra did. We should settle this matter instantly. And, in the name of every living thing of Toril, that creature can't be released on the world as it is now. It should be dead or redeemed. No other choices are possible without becoming guilty of crime againt sentience, life and Toril itself." The Church of Lathander declare that they favor the redeeming sentence. The Gnomes declare that they favor the death sentence. Meanwhile, the Yuan-ti have a small question for Edena: Where they successfull in looting all what they can from New Umbra ? Posts: 1492 | From: Somewhere in France | Registered: Dec 2000 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 07, 2001 11:27 PM (said solemnly, seriously) As the deep illithid, the neoillithid, and the Angels continue to work, they are joined by others. Gradually, the volcanoes cease erupting. The rivers of molten fire cool and go dark. Aided by the massive efforts of the Four Churches, the pain of the world eases, and the great quakes die down slowly into tremors, then cease. Now the Weave and Shadow Weave are not shaking so violently, although they are still reverberating, remembering, the aftermath of the cataclysmic event still resounding through them. As the healing continues, the tidal waves in the ocean slowly subside, the hurricane winds lessen, lightning ceases to pound the ground in vast sheets, becoming sporadic and less brilliant. Still the healing continues. The people of Toril feel the winds subside, the earthquake dwindled to a tremor, and they peek out of their shelters. They come out of storm cellars. They stream out of the special saferooms in the cube cities, poking their way through the ruins. They come up out of dwarven and gnomish cities, out of humanoid underground bunkers. They peek out of the edges of forests. They look around the mouths of caves. The sky is dark and gloomy, filled with steam and dust, and the gloom is moving, clouds streaming by in an endless procession on the disturbed winds of the atmosphere. Those clouds stream by, but they thin, and it gets a little bright. The clouds thin a little further, the quakes lesser to a minor tremble, the wind blows gently now, and the terrified populace perks up it's courage, and more people spill out into the open, looking around, looking up at the sky. The clouds thin sufficiently, and the sun appears, red and sullen, wreathed in clouds of radiant debris, great jets and plumes coming from it, but it IS the sun, and Toril's first Post-Armaggedon Sunrise is at hand. A dwarf, walking up out of the blood drenched wreckage of his dwarven city in the Clawrift, raises his axe, still covered with illithid blood, and he gives a great cry: Victory! The sound of bells breaks the silence, bells, bells everywhere. In Silverymoon, the bells ring lustily from all the undamaged spires. The people give a great cheer as the sun appears. In the devastated capital city of the Technocracy, the cries of tens of thousands of voices raises in a great shout, echoing across the land, taken up by others who hear it. Victory! Victory! In the Humanoid lands, Queen Amlaruil and Forrester were fighting back to back. Now the Queen flushes with delight, turns and grabs Forrester, embraces him in a most Sharresite way, and offers him a luscious, long, deep, kiss. While around them a great crowd of humanoids and elves sing, and roar, and blow trumpets, and beat on great drums. Victory! Victory! VICTORY! The flag of the Technocracy is raised in triumph over it's capital, to the cheers of a hundred thousand people. The news spreads quickly, spread by the still functioning technomagic. The cheers and shouts, the singing and the sound of instruments, the boom of drums and the victory chants, resonate across Faerun, across the Hoardlands - now restored, New Umbra gone - across Kara-Tur. In the temples of the East, monks, priests, and priestesses bow in silent prayer, giving thanks for their salvation, while the peasants cheer, and the warriors assemble under their commanders for solemn ceremonies. On Hope Island, a massive impromptu celebration breaks out, and on northern Maztica, the elves there breathe a sigh of relief that it's over. The Tuigan hoards race across their plains, banners held high (illithid impaled on them), triumphant. Off the coasts of Var the Golden, across the length and breath of Chult and the Sword Coast, in the Shining Sea, cannonades go off from the ships, their colors brightly flying, in tribute to the victory. The victorious fleet of the Humanoids returns in triumph from the Ethereal Plane, along with the host of githyanki, and with the phaerimm, swarming across the sky, Humanoid banners floating from each of them, grisly trophies by the thousands on their decks. The cheers spread worldwide, to all the continents of Faerun, and into it's oceans. Across Wildspace, the cheers are picked up and reflected back from the moons, as the people of Selune and Luna celebrate, fire cannons, sing, chant, and dance. Victory! Victory! Victory! The grim task of rebuilding and the very awful task of burying the dead remains, but for the moment elation sweeps the planet. And in the temples of the Four Churches, the priests and priestesses who remain consummate their passion in one of the greatest rites of passion yet seen, while their followers dance with glee, and drink with abandon, or run singing and yelling about, elation on their faces. Armaggedon is over, and we have survived, and we have triumphed! Victory! The priests and priestesses of the Four Churches, make it the One Church. From this point forth, all the clergy, male and female, worship all four Gods/Goddesses - Lathander, Sharess, Chauntea, and Sune, in that order. They practice the rituals of all four, and the four blur together into one great ritual of hope, renewal, love, ecstascy, and oneness with the Weave and the World that shelters them. The clergy of Llirra, our Lady of Joy, very quickly merge, and the Five Churches merge into one. Selune's clergy move heavily into this church, dragging Selune into it, and very slowly her people merge into the greater faith. It will not be long before the Church of the Sun and Stars will rise in it's full glory, and with it's combined might, begin the process of restoration, of healing the hurts of the world, of resurrecting the dead, of comforting the living, and of celebrating, teaching the arts of hedonism to even the deep illithid (horrors!!!) who can now feel it due to the change in the world, inspiring a new sense of purpose and planning for a better tomorrow. The gnomes create new medicines, or will, that stave off radiation sickness, and the priests and priestesses of Mystra work to save those who fall sick from the Weave Poisoning (the damaged Weave is literally making people become sick and die.) All over Toril, the process of rebuilding begins ... it is just beginning, but everyone is involved. Everyone. Even the phaerimm and the sharn, have put aside their differences, and are working together to rebuild. Even the kender are being treated with respect, perhaps for the first time, as they work dilligently in the rebuilding process. Those resurrected or cured of their Thralldom by the High Ritual marvel at the world changed, and they, in their millions, join in in the restoration effort. And the drow resurrectees put aside their ancient differences with the elves, and rejoin them. The svirfnebli put aside their wars with the drow and illithid, and join ranks with them. Even the aboleth come to the surface to lend a hand, along with a hoard of former thralls, and everyone looks curiously at the strange beings from below: and soon the aboleth are faced with the horror every Krynnite fears: a dozen kender are all asking a dozen questions at once to their faces, since they are so new and different. But the aboleth only smile, and communicate back with their mighty telepathic powers.

Edit: Modified to take into account what Edena said while I was typing this. The Church of the Sun and Stars agree to perform the Life Ritual again. However, they don't have enough magical power left, now that they've sacrificed several of their relics to power the first, to perform a second alone. They need support from as much churches as possible to that effort. This new ritual would resurrect the people fell to the Illithids and the Shadow Creatures, as well as ensure all raised creatures are of good alignment (if necessary by changing their alignment at the moment they are raised). The churches of the eights gnome gods (minus Urdlen, but including Gond) merrily agree to help. But that's not enough. Delegates are sent to the churches and/or druid orders and/or bardic conclaves of Aerdrie, Akadi, Angharradh, Anhur, Arvoreen, Azuth, Berronar, Brandobaris, Clangeddin, Corellon, Cyrollalee, Deep Sashelas, Deneir, Dugmaren, Dumathoin, Eilistraee, Eldath, Erevan, Fenmarel, Finder, Geb, Gorm, Grumbar, Gwaeron, Haela, Hanali, Hathor, Helm, Horus-Re, Ilmater, Isis, Kelemvor, Kossuth, Labelas, Lurue, Marthammor, Mielikki, Milil, Moradin, Mystra, Nephthys, Nobanion, Oghma, Osiris, Red Knight, Rillifane, Savras, Sharindlar, Shaundakul, Sheela, Shiallia, Siamorphe, Silvanus, Solonor, Tempus, Thard Harr, Thoth, Torm, Tymora, Tyr, Ubtao, Ulutiu, Urogalan, Valkur, Vergadain, Waukeen and Yondalla. (Basically, any non-evil deity with at least one of these domains: air, animal, earth, fire, healing, luck, good, magic, planning, plant, portal, protection, renewal, spell, sun, water. We'll need all those ingredients for the ritual.) The delegate to the Church of Helm has also the duty of asking them to banish Iuz to Oerth (this guy have really nothing to do here, he should rather get back to Greyhawk where his kingdom is being torn into little piece by followers of various good deities). The 15 churches already involved (Baervan, Baravar, Callarduran, Chauntea, Flandal, Gaerdal, Garl, Gond, Lathander, Lliira, Segojan, Sehanine & Selune, Sharess, Sune) respectfully ask the Angels of helping them. The effects they hope to have is to raise the people dead during the assault of the Illithids and the Plane of Shadow, to suppress wild magic and dead magic zones, to remove all evil of all raised creature, to strengthen the Shield of Toril so that it extends in all contingous and coterminous planes so that it can be sealed against intrusions, to give the "major positive-dominant" and "strongly good-aligned" traits to Toril (with all life forms currently present on Toril being adapted to the harmful side-effect of the major positive-dominant trait), as well as to create a similar shield around the sun, that should be able to protect itself against further attempts to blot it out, or events like the chaos wave. They sincerely hope this will allow Toril to know peace and security at last. They hope this will protect them against the Elven Fleet of Vengeance of the Elven Fleet of Vengeance, the Illithid Fleet of Vengeance, the Shadow Fleet of Vengeance, the Bullywug Fleet of Vengeance, and all other troublesome buggers that could come and continue to disrupt their peace and rebuilding efforts.

We had a home plane advantage and with the help of ancient Netherese we should have been able to put much more resistance than Ilithids, and even defeated, Plane Of Shadow is extremelly vast so it is an easy place to hide.

Can the representant from Shadow Plane appear? And all forces of evil in the multiverse should be VERY angry because of Alosius ritual, I assume such a great positive energy wave could be felt painfully be the inhabitants of Lower Planes and especially on the Plane of Shadow, now evil is unbalanced compared to good on Toril.

The Gnome Rep personally asks Zouron of putting the magical force of his mages to strengthens the Ritual once it will be (hopefully) started. He tells that he will himself put every wizard, bard and sorcerer under his command to put their magic power to this end. He then personally asks Forrester of putting the psionical force of his humanoids to the same aim, and tells that his own psions and psychic warriors will do the same. He'll then asks the Illithids, both neo and deep; the Chosen of Mystra and of all non-evil deity, the sharn and the phaerimm, the dwarves and the elves, every faction with important magical means, both arcane and divine, is pressed to help that ritual. Delegates are also sent toward all paladin orders, and all nonevil rangers are contacted also. Then, on a lightier note, hundreds and hundreds of gnome expert crafters go out of their cities and their demiplane, and go see the dwarves. They propose their help for forging the medals, after all, there is about 1 billion heroes that deserve to get a medal !

Posts: 206 | Registered: Jun 2001 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 08, 2001 12:55 AM Oh, there were survivors from the City of Shade, Lord Talos. Not everyone was killed. But, the force that was brought against the City of Shade was - literally - overwhelming. Just absolutely overwhelming. - - - I have changed my mind. It is not called the Church of the Sun and Stars. I am requesting a name for the new, unified Church from ALL of you. Remember which dieites are in this Church: Lathander, the Morninglord (The Sun, hope, renewal) Chauntea, the Earth Mother (The world of Toril) Selune, the Lady of Stars (One of the creators of Realmspace, the Primordial Light, Promordial Good, the stars, the heavens at night) Sune, Our Lady of Love (Love, romance, beauty, beautiful things, beauty as defined in each person's eyes) Sharess, Our Succubus of Sensation (Lust, passion, hedonism, excess) Llirra, Our Lady of Joy (festivals, dancing, merriment) It is likely that the followers of the Pantheon Gods of the various races whose Portfolios match the Gods above (such as Hanali Celanil of the elves) will merge with this Church. The Church opens it's doors (and the ranks of it's clergy) to ALL the races of Realmspace. I do mean all. That includes kender, humanoids, aboleth, illithid, even the phaerimm (who refuse, being obsessed with magic), and the sharn. Even the undead, led by Zouron and by Larloch (who has decided to stick around) are invited to join. All of the dieties mentioned above are considered EQUAL, in this new Church (including any new ones that end up joining.) There is no preference for one or the other, no major religion with a minor one attached. The dogma of each religion changes, alters, merges with the others, the best parts (depending on your point of view, I suppose) of each dogma being kept. The new Church will be the biggest church on Toril, the most powerful, and by FAR the most popular, while all of the evil faiths decline massively (especially Shar and Cyric.) Given time, it is quite possible some, if not all, of the dieties in the new church will merge to form a new diety (who will almost certainly be female.) Ao does not interfere with what is happening. - - - I request you help me with the name of this church. Aloisius came up with the original idea of combining the churches of Lathander, Chauntea, and Sune, but I cannot call it the Church of Aloisius! I need your suggestions. Suggestions for names, anyone? Posts: 1620 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged [/QUOTE]
