Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 187143" data-attributes="member: 2020">From EdenaThe following attend the funeral of Sanctus Punitor:  Allenthrellus, Thracius, and an entire delegation of the Taraakian Star Empire  The Queen of the Silver Hive  President Erika Lesage and Interim President Lannon of the United Commonwealth of Toril  Forrester, Speaker of the Humanoid Alliance (it's rejoined the United Commonwealth)  Phasmus, Speaker of the NeoIllithid and Deep Illithid of Toril    And the Shade of Ian Payne, the great hero of Toril, Patron Saint of the Church of Toril  - - -  There was one other effect of the Golden Blast.  Forrester's elven concubine is fully restored, in mind and body, to normalcy.    Evermeet, destroyed in the 2nd IR, is back.  It was fully restored by the Golden Blast.  It shimmers a brilliant green-blue amidst the ocean, Leuthilspar it's capital once more agleam in the sun.  The Elves of Evermeet come home at last.  The concubine of Forrester was the daughter of Queen Amlaruil, and now becomes Queen of the Elves.  The first thing the Elves of Evermeet do is invite their friends and family, the Humanoids, to come to Evermeet to live with them.  And so the orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, flind, bugbears, kobolds, ogres, and many others finally go to the wondrous isle, to cavort and frolic, to tryst and laugh, with their elven family.  And the drow go to Evermeet.  The drow and the surface elves reunite on Evermeet.  The ancient quarrel between elf and drow, kindled during the Crown Wars, is laid to rest at last.  And dwarves and gnomes go to Evermeet, to bring the wonders of Gond.  Kender come to Evermeet to see for themselves it's fabled glory.    Evermeet becomes a major tourist attraction for the human population, as it rapidly gains the reputation of a Party Isle.  Party Isle, as in there is one big party going on, on Evermeet, all the time, from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.  In Myth Drannor, ancient Cormanthor restored to life, the resurrected niece of Coronal Eltargrim is now the ruler (please reference the Cormanthor: Empire of Elves sourcebook.)  The Srinshee is back, with the Ruler's Blade and the High Mages, as her councillors (but she is truly the Queen, not a puppet ruler.)  Myth Drannor of old, Cormanthyr, restored to her ancient glory.  Many other ancient realms are returned to the world of the Present.  Netheril's flying citadels again grace the skies.  Earlann and Illefarn are back.  Elven Court is back.  The genie of ancient Calimshan are back.  The Imaskari are back.  Arvaandaar is back, and as friendly to outsiders as Evermeet is, now.  The great dwarven nations of old are returned.    The Nether Scrolls have been rediscovered.  On Oerth, the Suel Imperium is back, in addition to Festy Dog's work.  The Suel are a changed people, friendly and warm, and wiser I would daresay as well.  Their ancient enemies, the Baklunish, are back, but the emnity is laid to rest, and the two peoples have just signed a peace treaty.  Istar is back, along with the King Priest, who is very apologetic indeed.  All 5 Towers of High Sorcery are back.  The great cities of Ansalon are back, as they existed prior to the Cataclysm.  Xak Tsaroth is back.  The great nation of Ergoth is back.  Nordmaar remains, does not sink back into the ocean.  Krynn's greatest mage, Raistlin, is back.  Palin, rises again as a great and noble mage.  Riverwind is resurrected.  Goldmoon is also resurrected.  Tasslehoff Burrfoot, I suppose, is blinking in astonishment at all the changes.  Sturm, his son Steel, and Kitiara are all resurrected, and Khellendros, the Storm Over Krynn, has reunited with his beloved rider at last.  Even the curse on Lord Soth is gone, and he has laid down to rest at last.  Most importantly, perhaps, Paladine and all the other Krynnish deities are back.  Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari are back in the Krynnish sky, and the constellations are returned to normal.  The forge of Reorx is merry and bright again.  - - -  A REQUEST  Many of you sent me long e-mails with spectacular and visionary projects for the IR.    I think everyone should see your work, your creativity.  Post it here, on the IR thread!  Let everyone see it.  Don't leave it in my e-mail files!  Show everyone what you were up to.  After all, you completed it - your projects came to fruition.  Another thing - you might create an Atlas of the IR.  A composite of all the countries, nations, Powers (and those who have run those Powers), in the IR.  Everyone knows William runs Hazen, and Hazen is the leader of the Kevellond League.  But how many know that Phasmus is the leader of the NeoIllithid, and the Deep Illithid?  For that matter, do you know what the NeoIllithid and the Deep Illithid are?  Would you like to know?  That is the reason for an Atlas!  - - -  Folks, all you have to do is tone the power level  down, and you have a number of viable campaign settings here.  Drop magic to 9th level and remove superscience, and you have a wild and interesting, creative, variation on the normal World of Greyhawk Campaign Setting (Oerth, that is.)  Think of something folks.  Prior to the IR, how many of you could hear the word Oerth, and know what it meant?  Who had ever heard of Furyondy, Veluna, or the Great Kingdom of Aerdi?  Ok, you'd hear of those?  Who had heard of Lyrn?  Ishtarland?  Aquaria?  AnaKeris?  The Suel Imperium?  The Isle of the Phoenix?  All official Greyhawk stuff.  Of course, you could not have heard of Varnaith, for I made that one up myself.  Along with the Solistarim.  There is a wealth of material and ideas for campaigns.  All you need to do is tweak the setting, as it were, to suit your own tastes.  I would love to see an Atlas of the IR.  That would be neat.  A list of all the Powers, and those who ran them.    Not as a tribute to me.  But as a tribute to those who played in the IR, and who made it great.  And because it would be great reading, in any case.  Cheers to all of you!  Edena_of_Neith  P:S    You might get grumpy ol Forrester involved in this, since he has a long memory, and might remember things even the histories do not show.  For that matter, find the others, find all the others, and ask them for information on the IRs.  The IR will never die, if you remember it, and if you preserve it in your writing.</blockquote>
