Eclavdra speaks via her Magic Mirror to the other leaders of the TEC Pact:
We have the Five Points of the TEC Pact already established. Everyone is agreed on those except for Glu'boise, who is consider the Pact and whether to join it as I speak.
We have submissions for additional rules and specifications for the TEC Pact from Iuz, the Wolf God, The Elder Brothers, and Arch-Merchant Glu'boise.
We suggest a Summit in which to discuss changes to, and full implementation of, the TEC Pact.
We offer Erelhi-Cinlu as the place for this Summit.
There is a sense of urgency here.
We see Malkuvah Baklunim, the League of Athyr, Greater Nyrond, the Celestial Imperium, and the Sikari in military alliance.
Oh, we cannot 'confirm' that this is so, but all the indirect signs and our divinations point to this alliance.
We honestly believe Highfolk, Delrune, Celene, Aliador, and the Lendore Isles will join this alliance, and in the west we believe Burundi, Miranda, the Marchwards, the Elvanian Forest, Gigantea, and Hyperboria will join. We suspect others may join as well.
We know the attitude of the Elves towards us all. They desire our extermination. They hide their hatred and dark intentions under pretensions of peace, 'light' and 'goodness', but we believe there is little question as to what our fate would be, if they move to war and emerge victorious.
Also, there has been no word from Acererak. And his word weighs heavily in the balance, for now the powerful Solistarim are his allies.
We have reassurance from Iuz that Acererak stands as an ally, but it would be nice if Acererak would speak on this matter.

I must point out (under the influence of the Regalia of Neutralty which forces Rhynnon to reveil all Lies and Half-truths that he detects) that there is no great alliance of good and neutral powers as Eclavra suggests.
It is true that Greater Nyrond has approached The Baklunim and The Orcreich seeking alliance. Negotiations are still underway and the result of those negotiations are as yet unknown.
The Celestial Imperium is receiving humanitarian aid from Nyrond and the Baklunim, but no overtures towards them for military alliance have been made. It is doubtful that they would accept if such were made in any case.
Gigantia and Hyperboria have aproached Nyrond seeking alliance, which we have declined, though we have agreed to a non-aggession pact with them.
The Leauge of Athyr and the elven lands have been silent. What little communication we have had with the Leauge of Athyr has been strained, and it seems that they are no longer speaking to us.
As to elves in general and their veiws towards the Mordheil, I can only speak for the elven citizins of Nyrond. I have senced no great uproar from them now that you have established a peaceful presence in Rel Mord. In fact, the general impression I get is that the elves are hopefull for a reconcilliation with there lost kin.

Acererak is deadly, but dislikes Vecna. Disturb him ... if You want.
*Iuz smiled cruelly towards Eclavdra, apparently irritiated.*
You have talent for understanding true motivations behind people's masks of civility and gentleness. Paladins raiding regularly Our borders are expressing their true intentions more openly than most of people. But ... why are You showing signs of ...
*Iuz spat vile word that hurt ears of all who hear it, seeming to incorporate all kinds of dread within it. All night terrors, fears lurking within human hearts ... and other undescribable horrors avaiting beyond the borders of sanity.*
Public:
[sblock]... fear ?[/sblock]
OOC:
Iuz hate those "hipocrites". And the word spoken by him was spoken in Dark Tongue. So those who don't understand it shouldn't read rough translation to Common. Acha, agreement for Summit in Erelhi-Cinul, maybe just after Nyr Dyv summit ?
![:]](http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png "Devious :]")
Birdies song in my ear that Iuz would be in very good mod that day.
IC:
Things are as they alvays were. Even meansures taken by Us to prevent one of the members from betraying rest, may not suffice ... but what would life be without little risk ?
Our declaration is simple. All who would attack one on TEC pact members ... without agreement for military exercises or flower war, will suffer from Our Divine Wrath, inmediately. Their soul destroyed, their family eradicated to last member. Iuz had spoken.

A message for Eclavdra, Queen of the Mordheil,
As you know, I have been meeting with a Representative of the Wolf God, and have recently met with King Ogrim Scarseer of the Orcreich, both of whom are members of your TEC Pact. My conversations with the Wolf God's ambassador have I think gone well, as we have similar views on several matters, though how we approach our goals differ. King Scarseer is also proving to be an orc I feel comfortable dealing with, and we have discussed the treaty and his part in it at length.
I find myself wondering if I reacted too harshly when I refused your offer. Though there are some members whom I find distasteful, there are other members whose views closely match my own. I humbly apologize for my harshness.
I would ask to join the Treaty of Erelhi-Cinlu, under the same terms as the Orcreich. It is my hope that Nyrond can provide a moderating influence on the more destructive instincts of some of it's members should I be permitted to join it's ranks.
With respect and Friendship,
King Sethannon Rhynnon

Firstly, the Brotherhood would like to welcome King Rhynnon into the Pact -- his presence as a stablilizing influence will truly be of value.
Second, we would like to voice our disagreement with Iuz' ring proposal... Though clearly such an arrangement would give the Brotherhood an advantage over the other powers, as we have no sole leader nor would any one of our Elders be swayed much by the threat of personal harm, we feel that such inequities would ultimately weaken and destabilize the Pact, which we ultimately value more than a marginal increase in relative freedom.
We believe that good faith is better kept with the threat of large-scale military retribution. Leaders may value their own well-being to varying degrees, but all must value their empires equally.

(Eclavdra staggers under the words of Iuz. The Whip of Fury that runs in his voice is more than even she can fully endure.
Eclavdra staggers back, then turns, and speaks in a soft voice)
Your Majesty, THIS is why I am afraid!
She gestures, calling to the Magic, and an image appears:
THIS is what my foretellings show ...
(An image of Vecna appears. He is emerging out of Tovag Baragu. He is RIDING on the tarrasque, which is humbly doing his bidding.
Behind Vecna comes a literal army of liches. Thousands of them. Enough to take on Netheril itself. With them are strange beings which look like whirlwinds that end in cones, with four arms - phaerimm. Hundreds of them. And around all of them is a massive, honor guard of death knights, skeletal warriors, ghosts in Suel raiment, revenants, heculava with worms dropping from their bodies, death tyrants, and vast numbers of wraiths.
Behind them comes an army so big that it is impossible to even guess it's numbers. The Suel warriors, archwizards - some as high as 40th level, archclerics, and abominations - endless numbers of abominations, endless numbers of slaves who have been mindwiped to serve Vecna with absolute loyalty.
The army stretches through the Gate that leads to where Vecna is coming from: as far as even Iuz himself can see, the army stretches into the distance. This is an army in the TENS OF MILLIONS strong.)
(Eclavdra closes down the image, and states rather loudly and shakily)
THAT'S why I fear, your Majesty!
THAT'S what my foretelling is showing me.
We must make all preparation for the battle to come.

Eclavdra welcomes Greater Nyrond into the TEC Pact, and is genuinely enthusiastic about it.

To all TEC Pact memebers ... Och, it was hastily cast so almost anyone could spy it.
IC:
*Iuz's eyes narrowed when he eyed Vecna's legions. Eclavdra could clearly see that Iuz is shocked enough to reveal his true feelings. But there is nothing but mindless hate twisting his repulsing old face, even smallest sign of fear. Iuz roared in fury and thunderstorm erupted over all his domains, almost like lighting from the sky.*
Tarrasque, Iz, MINE !!!
*Then evil smirk crawled on his face. And only almost shut down eyes, burning so intensly within eyesockets that Eclavdra could tell that as far as she know Iuz someone would die, were expressing tearing him up wrath.*
But if they would walk out of Tovag Baragu ... Yesss, if they will have to emerge from there.
Edena_of_Neith said:
TEC council should vote over my proposal taking into consideration that it were show of goodwill on my side. Brotherhood displayed goodwill also, pointing out that they will have great advantage ... I must admit it gives some hope that this pact would work well.
Another points to consider at our first meeting, fortification of the Vecna's Portal. Research expedition to ruins of Suel empire to find as much as possible about this wicked lich, who throw off his Suel roots for power and madness. Finding out vampire Kas, who have first hand experience with workings of Vecna. We admit that all battles We fought with archlich were giving not much insight into his mind. All I know that he's metodic, and very gifted tactican. But his shortage is improvisation in the unprobably situation. Like then when he first time tried to conquer this place. His warriors were stopped by Our priest leading ragtag band of murderers, mercenaries, professional scouts and wizards, while Us crushed his first avatar. Unfortunately these folls turned against Us, despite that their presence was helpful and We were going to spare them.
OOC:
AD&D2ed, adventure "Vecna lives !"
look at it from Iuz's point of view. 
IC:
We're pointing out that ex-servitors of Nerull and cultists of Tharizdun may became a major local allies of archlich. Demilich Acererak is allied with Us against pesky Vecna so his support might tip the balance in TEC pact favor. But We will ready Ourselves as if noone but Us will face Vecna ... and advise Our allies do the same.
*Iuz's mocking gaze and ironic voice makes clear that he expect them all to flee with tails between their legs, or lay on their bellies begging for mercy in confrontation with Vecna.*
I'm not going to give a inch of my lands to him. Never.
*Iuz's hatred directed at Vecna is apparent for everybody.*
