If I miss any crucical information, do not hesistate to add it.  We shall begin with the Sealing - all of the planes, except for some pockets of the transitive planes, have been sealed by the gods. Apparently, a great threat necessitated this step. The Sealing had widespread effects, many subtle, and their consequences are not yet visible. Keep these subtle effects in mind, though.  One of the most noticeable effect of the Sealing is that most gods, especially the most powerful ones, no longer are able to reach Oerth. Among them the patron goddess of the drow, Lolth. With the influence of Lolth gone, the drow went into what we call the Withdrawal - aptly named, as it is reminescent of the withdrawal suffered by drug addicts. The drow could either learn to live without their ... "drug," emulate it differently, suffer mental harm, or suffer physical harm - in this case, death.  By the time the Withdrawal struck, Iuz was present at the to-be-built Great City with Eclavdra. Soon after, Elistraee appeared, allegedly to aid the drow to live through the Withdrawal. Iuz, mistaking the events for an attack by the demigodess, armed himself with the Regalia of the Velsharess to be better prepared against Elistraee.  Meanwhile, many factions tried to aid the drow in their own ways. Some resulted in ... drow who no longer need Lolth, and some resulted in drow who emulate Lolth themselves, and are possibly ...darker than before. Gallador's forces subjected several drow to vampirism, which can be counted as "emulating Lolth differently." My knowledge on vampirism is limited, but I believe that a spawned vampire is a loyal slave to its creator, right? This may work against Gallador's favor.  At this point, Iuz and Elistraee no longer fought alone - they were attacked by other powers, often in the name of the Treaty of Erenhei-Cinlu - on both sides. In the chaos, Aerdi has managed to teleport Eclavdra out of harms' way, to Rel Astra. There, Eclavdra became the target of several powerful magical effects - a miracle from Iuz, and a wish from Faerinaal, both worded to grant her the true Freedom of Choice. As we know, she chose what we might call "the light," and she promptly went on a ... rampage that might have destroyed Rel Mord and killed King Rhynnon.  In the Great City, Iuz was accosted by the Scarlet Brotherhood. Weakened by the fight against Elistraee, he soon was forced to retreat, taking Eclavdra's Regalia along."</blockquote>
