All contact with Celene suddenly ends overnight. Spies in the capital report seeing drow parties teleporting into the capital before a curtain of anti-magic descends over the area, cutting off magical communication.
The Lenore isles ally publically with the elves of Vernaith. Both parties send scouts into Celene to find out just what is going on. They also send diplomats to the Grand Alliance, petitioning for a partial alliance, allowing the two nations to work together on finding the truth. The two elven nations don't want to accept The Message contents, and wish to prove it wrong. Allying with yet another power for that sole purpose can only beneift them...
The screen on Celene lifts, and the new ruler, the son of Yolande, declares that he is now in power. He begins to tighten his hold on his newly siezed kingship. He is not yet ready to approach the outside world while his drow forces and thier elven counterparts consolidate his hold on Celene.
